Good things are coming!

Things are going well. I not only tested negative for ovarian cancer last week, the birth of a new book has evolved. My taxes are done and my newest book just published. I was getting sick at looking at a lengthy manuscript. Chuckle. All my books are now available online and on my author website at http://www.annermurray.com.

After a much needed rest, I will start writing another sequel soon. I’m doing my research now and working on my prologue for the next book. I would like to make my last few books (including this sequel) into a series one day. That is wishful thinking, but I guess I’m optimistic.

In the meantime, I’m starting an introductory course on screenwriting. Gives me an idea of what I’m up against. It is in a different format and will take about three months to write a screenplay. The first one will probably be my worst yet, but hey, what do I know. I’m using Stephen King’s On Writing to help me reference my book into a script. He gives good advice as he has written over thirty books and produced several movies.

Everyone, have a good week. It has been cold and drizzly here. Dark clouds have formed with an overcast; it’s mostly very cloudy and windy. Hope your weather is faring better than here.

I welcome comments and feedback from others.

Passed Final Production Stage

Trail of Betrayal passed the final production stage today. I just received an email from the publisher this afternoon. That means it goes to the printer next for setup and distribution. I should have a printed copy in my hand the week after next. Let’s hope so, anyway.

I’ve passed this step many times before with other books. I won’t pretend that writing a book is easy, but it does get easier with each additional book. I am one to talk; I don’t have enough patience with myself.

Can’t Stand the Suspense

I approved the cover(s) designs this week on my new book. Waiting on publisher to send back the galley with revisions and corrections. This is the final review before it goes to the printers. Once printed, the new book should be online (Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites) within two weeks. I am excited, as I can’t wait to see the final product. The suspense is killing me.

I believe it is my best book published yet. I’m tooting my own horn, but hey, if I can’t toot it, who can? It is a historical fictional novel on American history during colonial times. While some of the events and dates are true, the characters are fictitious. Focused on the lives and challenges of characters during the American Revolutionary War, the book reflects the optimism of the American culture.

The book is 424 pages in length. Makes a great gift for those that enjoy history. There are sketches, as well as references for historians and history bluffs alike. All copyrights belong to the author and writer of this book – no duplication please. Please click on link below to see designs, although this is just a preliminary illustration. 9781546232681_hrd – Hard Cover
