Done!

Well I've finished writing the rough draft of my new science fiction novella titled "Reckoning." Now it's time to put into action the team behind the curtain who really are responsible for what makes a book possible.

The publishing house that has agreed to take on the project introduced me to the cover artist yesterday and she is very excited about the story and the ideas I have for the visual introduction to the book.

This morning I'm meeting with an old friend of mine who practices EMDR therapy (if you don't know what that is check out this link: https://www.emdr.com/what-is-emdr/) who has graciously agreed to write the forward to and explain the science behind the story.

Then later this evening I have a meeting with the editor who will help me to cut away at the unnecessary trivialities that all authors painstakingly add to their stories for no apparent reason. Oh, and she'll help me to make any corrections in spelling, grammar, punctuation etc...

Creating a new story for people to enjoy is truly one of the most joyous experiences I've ever had. It's an incredible amount of work that can only be completed by a huge team of experts each of them just as passionate about their piece of the whole and none of them capable of doing it without the others.

I hope when it comes out that everyone enjoys it half as much as they enjoyed Power Rises. I'll be honest it's very different, there is no magic, elves or dwarves. It is pure science fiction and takes a hard look at our criminal justice system and what it could truly look like 50-100 years from now.

I hope that is sparks your imaginations, and creates little moments of conversation on a quite night.

Thank you for taking the time to read this blog entry.
