A Quick update--traditional publishing adventure and more...

Before I shut my eyes to sleep, I wanted to let those know a couple of updates from my journey as a inspiring writer. First update, I'm working on a new manuscript. If you had liked "The house On Elm", you'll like this new manuscript that is a total remake of my first self-published novel. I'm loving it as I write away in this new manuscript. I'm currently reading: Stephen King's Pet Sematary which had gave me a large boost inspiration and new insights into writing. For maybe a good hard month or so (give or take), I've hit a snag in writing. I wanted to have the next big thing, but I failed to come up with anything really good . I jumped around a bit with some very rough drafts on a few manuscripts, but my focus wasn't glued as I hoped. So, I took a breather from writing a bit--or so to say--and began reading. Something sparked inside, I felt while reading Pet Sematary. I danced about inside my head about rewriting "The House On Elm"...

Somewhere in June another novel will be released.

I hope you're excited! Next month, a new horror novel will be released. My writing style, grammar and punctuation had improved. Since, I can't fork over money to a line-editor or a copy-editor. I have to do it alone on the editing side. Sorry, if I make you cringe at the minor mistakes. I'm only human. So, prepare yourself for the next month's horror novel release.

What changed in the book: "The House On Elm"?

So, the original version of the book tanked a bit. However, the book "The House On Elm" had been given a new face. It's been reworked from the ground up. A month had been spent revising every sentence, paragraph, and page. Original version of the book had total 236 pages, and it now has 240 pages. So what's new? Grammar and punctuation had been fixed. Dialog tags been implemented (e.g. where brad spoke there was no dialog tag. "Jessie, cut it out!"). Now it's written as: "Dad! Mom!" I cried out. The entire book was riddled with punctuation mistakes, and it was nightmarish. For example, There was something in the room; while --- I couldn't see what it was. Now that's some amazing stuff, right? NO! Alright, so why did I pain-painstakingly decide to revise the entire book? Well, just because a fire has embers only means it can once blaze again. I didn't give up, and it still had a beating pulse. The resurrection of the book will...
