Trilogy blog
Happy New Year. Good health to you
all.
Last minute cleanup of Sooley
Base involved removing all links to Amazon.com and B&N to comply
with fine print with BookBaby.com, and reshooting the cover to comply with type
of format and size required.
The final novel of the Tessera
Trilogy, Kashan Kashmeeri, is now a work in progress. Most characters
transition from Golden Gate and Sooley Base, plus new ones. New
excitement awaits, new intrigue, new twists.
Kashan Kashmeeri has been collected of bits and baubles of plot,
characters, and timeline; the task remains to put them in better sequence and into
credible dialogue. There are currently 72 pages and 38 thousand words in the
working copy, but LOTS of segments are being researched and slowly integrated
into the novel.
Beyond KK, two other novels are
in the works – TNO, and PD. I can’t spoil it and tell you
more, but they have preliminary characters, plot line and action.

Joanna Bourne, Deanna Raybourn, and Susanna Keasley are
three New York times best selling romance novelists whose books are noted at
the “Allaboutromance” website, or http://www.likesbooks.com/ . They came to
our local library …Meet three
dynamic New York Times bestselling authors, Deanna Raybourn, Joanna Bourne, and
Susanna Kearsley, at a Salem Church branch reception. Deanna is the author of
the popular Lady Julia Grey and Nicholas Brisbane mystery series; Joanna writes
the Spymaster historical romantic thrillers series; and Susanna's works have
been compared to those by Diana Gabaldon, Daphne du Maurier, and Audrey
Niffenegger. Deanna, Joanna, and Susanna will discuss their books and answer
questions. The reception will include a book signing and refreshments.
The three spoke to a full house of
enthusiastic readers and they shared innumerable insights about writing. Among
there were: The only thing as intellectually equivalent to writing a novel is
composing a symphony’; In the middle of every novel (I’m writing) is the end of
my writing career.”; “We’re all just story tellers.”; “ Write like you speak.”;
“A good writer gets a little bit weird.”; “I prefer my characters to my
neighbors.”; “Heroes (in my novels) drive awesome cars.” One of the authors wrote a book published by Penguin
Books whose title is “Black Hawk.” She (Deanna) stated that the title was not
of her choosing, and when she questioned Penguin about the choice of “Black
Hawk” none there admitted to knowing that a Black Hawk is a US Army helicopter of
significant notoriety. … Any wonder I self publish and choose my own
titles.
