News and Updates

Things are really starting to pick up around here. The New Author is getting busy to say the least. With that said, I thought I would give you an update on the happenings of the coming days and weeks.

First - You have one more week to get your short stories and poems submitted to me for this year's contest. I have submissions already but, as you know, I always want more. The more I get the more fun we have so don't wait; send them in. You can e-mail me your submissions to sb.knight@live.com.

Second - In April we will be crowning a winner for the best poem and best short story.

Third - On April 7th and 17th I will be hosting a blog tour for a friend of mine and his book "Immortal." On April 7th I will be posting an interview with not only the author but also the main character from the book. That should be very interesting. The 17th will see a book excerpt posted right here. I will have links on both articles to his site for Immortal.

Now, I know I just covered a few days of next month but I have ideas for articles to post in between those events. Also, I am very hopeful to have some amazing news to announce in the coming weeks but I'm not dwelling on that right now.

With the coming weeks spoken for let's take a look at the previous few days. As many of you know from Twitter I submitted my novel to a number of publishers. I have been in communication with them and, to be completely honest, it has been very exciting. I remember when I submitted my first novel and all I received was rejection letters with little else to build upon. Well, I can't say that because I did learn from that experience but this time around has a completely different feel. Perhaps it is because of the previous experience; I don't know. I'm not superstitious; however, I've learned not to talk about a hatched egg until it actually hatches so I will keep you posted once I have some news to share.
