THE GENESIS CODE getting a warm reception…

THE GENESIS CODE was released a tad more than 3 weeks ago.  It’s getting some great reviews over on Goodreads, as well as on Amazon and Shelfari.  If I could summarize the reviews and comments, it would be this way:  the book is a real page-turner, people can’t put it down.  The characters are three-dimensional, and they want to see more from me.

Can’t ask for much more than that!  I’m hoping folks who enjoy it are also telling their friends.  Word of mouth is very helpful, especially for a debut author out there competing with the Clancys/Crichtons/Cooks/other established thriller writers with massive backlists.

Thanks, everyone, for your support!

THE GENESIS CODE is Released into the World…

In all the excitement, I’ve somehow managed to neglect to post here, though I’ve been busy as can be on Facebook.  THE GENESIS CODE officially released into the world on Thursday, May 2, 2013.  While every writer dreams of getting that first novel published, the reality is a whole new experience.  It is absolutely surreal to see my book, my bio, my work out there on Amazon!  It was even more surreal to see it ranked higher in sales than some Tom Clancy books for a brief shining moment (I’m sure due to the initial “surge” of sales from the delivery to the DarkFuse Book Club folks right at the release, but still!). 

So now I’m working to make sure the word gets out that THE GENESIS CODE is out there.  My fingers are firmly crossed for the manuscripts I have submitted (Novel 2, aka THE JANUS LEGACY, and the Novella that Resisted Naming for So Long, aka DARK CROSSROADS). 

 

It’s nearly here…May is coming and so is THE GENESIS CODE

I can’t believe it.  May is almost here, and with it will come THE GENESIS CODE.  It’s almost surreal to think about it, that in only a couple of weeks my first novel will be out there for the world to see.  I’m crossing fingers and hoping for a very successful launch…stay tuned for appearances and things like that.

Now a Novella in the works…

Wrapped up Novel 2, aka THE JANUS LEGACY, and submitted it.  Rather than just sit and wait, I started on a Novella.  It has no name at the moment.  None has come to me yet, not at all.

This is my first attempt at something of the novella length.  I’ve been seeing some excellent examples of what can be done with that length work lately and I was tempted to try my hand at it while I wait to hear on JANUS and wait for the launch of THE GENESIS CODE with bated breath!  I was really in the mood to go for the noir on this one.
