Now wait just a minute

After a considerable amount of thought and consideration, I've decided to postpone the release of Loving Deacon.  I've had a number of issues weighing on me about the story.  Anyone who has read the Facebook Discussions is aware of the fact that I feel the story is slower than Whispers in the Wind.  I've really made no secret of that issue.  Part of the pace of the story comes from the type of format I am using to deliver it.  The book contains a collection of writings from the two main characters.


It is important to me that the story propels itself.  It needs to lead the reader forward (that "I just couldn't put it down" characteristic).  So I have wrestled with myself, the thought that the story isn't moving as quickly as I would like hanging around in the back of my mind.  There are some people who have read the story for me (to whom I owe a great deal of appreciation) and from those people the response has been favorable.  However, I only have one shot at releasing it.  Once it's out there, it's out there.  So, I really want it to be right.  That's not to say it will be perfect; there are always things which slip by, but it at least needs to be something with which I can be satisfied.  I also realize I won't make every reader happy, but I need to make me happy.


I intend to take another pass through the book to see if there are any additional changes I want to make.  This may take a little longer than the time I was giving myself, so for now the only date I can give is Coming Soon.  I'm sorry for what may seem to be indecisiveness, but I think it is for the best right now.
