Hello friends

Just a quick update on The Catcher’s Trap’s journey.

I am quite close to a draft of the book I would feel comfortable sharing. I am in the process of revising Chapters nine to twelve before I sent them to my friend and editor extraordinaire Koleen. After that, I will dedicate my time to the last two chapters.

Of course, when I finish this draft I have to go back and review and re-write many pieces. I made serious unplanned changes to the plot –because it made sense- which had ripple effects all through the book. Very butterfly effect I must say…sans Ashton Kutcher of course.

I am incredibly impatient, so the slow process of putting together a well-thought and believable story is testing the boundaries of my ADD. But, as I said before, I want to publish the best novel a first-time author is capable of creating.

My main fear when I started writing The Catcher’s Trap was that I had no talent, and I would embarrass myself.  The support of my friends and reviews from kind people I have not had the pleasure of meeting yet have made me more confident in my work. Of course, my colossal ego helps a good deal as well.

Pre-orders are moving steady, but I still need your help. This morning I hit 850, which is fantastic; but remember, I lost the contest by one book; so I won’t rest until I hit the mystical 1000.

On another super positive front, The Catcher’s Trap Facebook page has almost 700 followers! If you want to join the fun here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/catcherstrap

Well, I guess my definition of “quick” is questionable –same as my fashion decisions in the mid 90’s -

Please pre-order the book and spread the word. If you have not ordered yet, please support my efforts. If you are a fellow author, know that I am here to support yours.

Have a great day!
