I wrote a novel in 3 days

This year I officially entered the 3-Day Novel Contest, brainchild of some completely insane Canadians out in Vancouver. I wrote a novel in 3 days, and called it Rebels of the 512, because it's about pirates, ninjas and evil politicians here in Austin, Texas. You can read my "as it happen(ed)" blog at Pirates Vs. Ninjas, if you're interested.


You may have also heard that Texas Governor Rick Perry is running for President? I think it's an incredibly bad idea, based on the track record of Texas' previous presidential offerings as well as Perry's own completely whack-job ideas (have you read Fed Up!? I have, and it's scarier than a Stephen King novel), so I made Perry into the Big Bad for my pirates and ninjas novel. His name is now Nick Harry (because Dick Harry just seemed too obscene, even for me), and he… well, I don't want to give it all away!


If you're interested in reading an extremely rough draft and giving feedback on it, I'd love to hear from you. The outcome of the contest is going to be announced in January 2012, but in the meantime I'd like to do some editing. Even if I don't win the contest, I would like to publish this book in one form or another, so reader feedback is critical.


Any takers? Get in touch using this form and I'll hit you up with a PDF.
