When will you be doing a book signing?
I am still looking into it and information will be posted when I actually have a booking.
Was your book, In the Company of Elves a short story
before you made it into a full-length novel?
Yes. When I first wrote it, I originally
wrote it as a novelette, the book consisted of two stories. In the Company of Elves and
Loretta. Both stories had mild adult content. I decided not to publish the book as is. I took out the last story (Loretta) from the book, saving it for later use. I re-wrote In the Company of Elves and published it through subsidiary company
online. (InstantPublishers.com)
2017: I later decided to revise it adding several chapters to the book.
How hard is it to re-write a book?
It depends on the length of the book
and how much you must edit. Sometimes it does take a few months to a year to
re-write a book.
Will Chandra’s Quest Book 3 be published
next year?
*Honestly, since it’s a full-length
novel, it might take all next year to finish, but I am working on it and yes I know, I've been working on it for a while. Chandra's Quest book 3 is the last novel from the Chandra's Quest trilogy, and the original word document only had 3 chapters completed. Rest assure, I will complete it and publish it.
NOTE: The only full-length novels I've written are, Chandra’s Quest Book 1 & 2 and In the Company of Elves. All other books will
be novelettes, except for Chandra's Quest book 3.
Novelettes:
The Other Side of Things part 1 &
2
Out in the Open
The Phoenix Files
Finding Loretta
Yes, I decided to revise the original
story that was called, Loretta. I still have the file and I am going to re-write it. It will be an adult novelette, though.
For family members:
Yes, I am still working on my official Memoir: Every Season. Remember the novel
will contain journal entries from 1978-2010. That’s a lot of writing I have to
type and a lot of editing to do. I can only hope to finish it before some of my
aunts and uncles die. I would like them to read it, since it is a real life story--memoir.
Keep in mind,
I will not sell my Memoir and it will be PRIVATELY distributed to family
members.
Goal: I do have other novels/novelettes
to finish, especially Chandra’s Quest book 3. The way I see it, the trilogy should have been finished years ago.
Finally:
I recently set up a Twitter account.
It certainly is not like Facebook, where you can set up albums, a business page
or groups. I haven’t found that part on twitter yet. Right now, I am only sharing
links to some of my books and other social media websites. I haven’t gone way
out and shared the link to my Twitter on other social media website I belong to yet but next year in January or February
I will. If family members want to follow me there, well that’s up to them.
I will accept everyone.
Personal note: I still prefer Facebook, I think it’s
better. So please family, stay connected on Facebook with me. Thank You.
