XIANNE: VOLUME TWO & THE REQUISITE CONSTRUCTION-SITE NOISES
First of all, I'd like to congratulate AMANDA SWEARINGTON DEATON for winning a signed copy of XIANNE: VOL. ONE in a contest held by CYNTHIA SHEPP BOOK REVIEWS AND EDITING. (But, Father, if she didn't BUY it, how will we eat?/ Don't be so petty, Son, she's going to read my book!)
Also, thanks to Cynthia for promoting XIANNE (and somehow inspiring me to begin a blog--WHAT HAPPENED?)
As for Volume Two, I just finished the 3rd edit-&-revision of Chapter 5, and I started on Chapter 6 which is entitled ATOMIC NOOGIE. Obviously, a very dark and sinister section of the book.
Basically, I'm doing a chapter a day--for this 3rd time through--and when I've completed all 28 chapters, the novel will pretty much be ready for publication. I will then simply read it once more (a 4th time) just to try and catch any remaining errors in spacing, spelling, tense, etc. This is the same formula I followed with Volume One, and Cynthia Shepp proclaimed it "perfectly edited"--of course, she's a drunk, so reader beware.... :-)
Also, I should explain that I am sending friend requests to any and all who comment, like, follow, or otherwise telegraph their presence on my site here at Goodreads--unless, of course, you friend me first (guaranteed acceptance). This is purely a pathetic ploy to build a fan base for XIANNE; so, please, if you get captured by me, share the pain by tricking--ENCOURAGING!--others to come on board, as well.
Lastly...OK, AMANDA, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO A REVIEW FROM YOU! LET ME HAVE IT!

It was perfectly edited and I'm not a drunk! (as I am sitting here sipping on a margarita lol). If you are not on facebook, how did you know I was running a promotion and that Amanda won? I swear I think you are undercover on my page lol! Many thanks to you for letting me read and share your book! And I am double glad that I inspired you to start a blog! I check it many times a day because it always make me smile :) Gosh, I am jonesing for the 2nd Volume! My review for Xianne will be up on my blog and promoted all over facebook Monday. Yay!
To Melissa, I seriously doubt I'll be ready by the end of the year--looking more at early 2013--won't matter if the Mayans were right, but I seriously doubt they were.
Cynthia, I am ALWAYS undercover--but you can thank one of my spies, Samantha (Smitty), for the bloggileaks! And just you keep jonesing--I've got a little surprise for YOU down the road....
I knew it was her lol!!! Oooh, I can't wait :)
I`m as happy as a pig in slop that i won a SIGNED copy of your book.I thank you Jayce from the bottom of my heart!!!I will be sure to let you know what i think of it once i`m finished reading it.Thanks again to Cynthia Shepp book reviews.
You're welcome Amanda! You are in for a treat :)
Just bust me out, Jayce! LOL! Now, are you lying about early 2013 for Vol. 2?

For the love of God! I guess I'll attempt to create a facebook page now. Man, I miss the old days when you didn't have to communicate with people! But I can't have Cynthia Shepp blabbing all over the World Wide Web what a backward, no-tech, troglodite I am. So prepare for some REAL construction-site noises in the near future. You win this round Mrs. Shepp, but revenge is a cold dish of...a dish served coldly...a best cold servant--MINE!

I can't wait to see this author page :) Lol, I can deal with the revenge...just don't take away my oh so looking forward to it, want it, want it, can't wait to have it...suprise! If you do that then, well as my kids say, I won't be your best friend anymore :( (lol!)
