New cover

Please let me know if you find that this is an improvement on the previous version.

I hope it conveys the dark mysterious and romantic atmosphere I was going for without giving too much away.  I honestly think this is a good art work from my friend Natalina and a good face to my book, what do you think? Please, leave comments if you care to.
ps - I am still reviewing and rewriting the ending, but that doesn't keep me from improving the whole package ;-)

Resumed publishing

I must say, after a second child and finding it hard to balance it all I am again reviewing my book.
I have fresh new ideas for the graphics and realize that there was still some polishing to be done.
I also want to re-twick the ending, finding that on the back of my mind I was never fully satisfied by the description of the events then.
I will let you know when I am done... should be able to publish it on amazon, for hard copy and download availability by the end of the year.

So stand by for news.

vanity-publishing no!

Hello again,
It is decided. It seems this is not the natural path of a writer.
It is called vanity-publishing (to pay to publish) and it bounds my book to oblivious.
Therefore I decided to let it take a more natural and longer course.
I will apply to some contests, to see if I catch the eye of an agent.
And in one year from now if I haven't, I will publish it myself (self-publishing) on Amazon.
In the mean time, as promised, the book won't die without a brother and the second one is now on its 3rd chapter.
I will keep in touch.
Greetings to all.

Accepted

Several times in life the good news are tainted by the bad ones.
I should be celebrating and singing and dancing... the editor accepted my book.
However they require that 250 copies, form the edition of 550, of 12€ each should be bought by me and possibly sold in the book release in Portugal. So I can only conclude they find this is a risky business, considering their timid investment.
So tell me, should I fly or should I cry?

The first novel was sent to the editor with the title "Dark Hair Night"

After finishing the last page I thought the worst was past. Was I naive or what?
I asked help from a friend to review the English which I use fluidly with a little help from my dyslexia.
The process took months of painful beautifying, correcting and defending, but the end product was worth it.
I have now a presentable version of my dream, and I want to share it with the world.
So this Wednesday (12-04-2012) I sent it to the editor, hoping for the best and opening my heart to an even more excruciating phase... What will they think of my novel? Is what I wrote worth printing? Will anyone enjoy reading it? And above all how will I survive if they don't? How do you survive when they look at your perfect baby and say... hum, I'm not impressed!?

I was thinking of writing a book...

But that never really happens. And even if it did, I would have to have it always with me so I could continue writing...
I am not saying it is worth reading or the space in google's computer, but I had no better way to have it in hand to write whenever I would like... So here it goes! I hope to be writing a lot, mostly nonsense and attempts of small chapters in this quest for my book!
