Ahoy! I sail! I'm sailing!
Ok, I'm doing no such thing...but that is a great movie. If you don't know the movie, make it your personal quest to find out what it is and watch it!
On to the news...and it's good. POD People has been released! How? I haven't hinted at this, but now I'm announcing. POD People has been published by a new POD publisher called Breakneck Books. It's their first book! They're a traditional publisher in that publishing through them is free (you don't have to pay them like you do most PODs--and they reject the majority of books submitted to them), they pay a royalty, design your cover, send the book out for reviews, and all the other nice things publishers do. The ONLY difference between them and a traditional publisher is that they don't do massive print runs. They simply make the books available as demand continues. Makes sense to me...and its no wonder several traditional publishers are jumping on the POD band wagon for their older titles. Before you rush to Amazon or Barnes&Noble.com...the book isn't there yet...well not today anyway. It should be available on Amazon by Friday and B&N.com next week. After that, all the other online booksellers should fall in line. Hooray!
Also, for those of you who have heard of her--POD-dy Girl from the POD-dy Mouth review blog has read and reviewed POD People (and provided a blurb for the cover). She will be plugging the book on the site once the book is available. It should provide a nice start to the book's sales as POD-dy Mouth is one of the few authorities on POD books and is frequented most often by my very audience, POD authors!
Breakneck Books will also be publishing my second novel as it fits right into their genre, action/adventure novels. The cover looks wonderful and another blurb from James Rollins graces the cover (and back cover). I think this is a very good (though extremely different) follow-up to The Didymus Contingency. It is not a Christian novel (I stager my books from Christian themed to not). It is more along the lines of Rollins/Chrichton/Preston...with tad more scienc fiction. Check it out at www.breakneckbooks.com (along with POD People). The current estimate for a release is September 2006.
From the Deep continues to move slowly, but that's not a surprise as we are still, in essense, homeless. We're still with family, but are hopeful about a new place we looked at a few days ago. If that works out we should be moved in by July 4th...we might just sleep through the fireworks!
Did I mention we're having a boy? It's ben so long between posts lately that I can't remember. At any rate...we are. His name will be Solomon. We still need a middle name. Debating going with mine...but it made for a few rough years in school...yup, it's that bad. Feel free to guess. It starts with P. It's not a normal name (like Peter). It's a place in Scotland. And it appears quite often on boxers an ties. If you figure it out, try not to tease me too much!
So go grab a copy of POD People...in a few days!
