Sal Terranova and Camden Templeton are cousins separated by upbringing, the Atlantic Ocean, and a common language. Then fate (with help from a run of bad luck and a dead uncle) throws them together in the least likely of places: Texas. Exiled in this strange land, they must band together in order to save the family bookstore from financial ruin, from its own insane employees, and probably from themselves. This is the story of what happens when The Sopranos meets Fawlty Towers...in a bookstore.

GOAL!!!!!

Goal!!!!!!! (said in the voice of a Spanish soccer announcer). The campaign for "The Last Word" just hit 103% of goal! Thanks to everyone who has joined me on the journey to make this crazy dream a reality. The manuscript goes to the editor on May 12.

There are still 3 days left in the campaign, so you can still support the project and get some cool rewards, including the signed, limited edition hardcover edition that will be created specifically for this project. Be part of the story.

One Week to Go!

Time for an update on the Pubslush project as we head into the final week of the campaign. With 7 days to go we are at 81% of goal. The project will wrap up on May 1, and whatever has been raised will go toward editing, cover design, and all the other stuff necessary to bring to novel to the world.


There is still time to pick up some one of a kind rewards (like a signed, very limited edition hardcover copy of the book) and be part of the story. Here's the link:

In a week this blog will move to chronicling the next phase of The Last Word: pre-publication.


It continues to be a wacky, wonderful ride.

At 70% of Goal...and I've Found an Editor

It's been a busy week since my last update, and a lot has happened...all of it good.

Campaign midpoint update: with 15 days remaining we have hit 70% of goal! My gratitude to everyone who has supported the project goes beyond words (and I'm rarely speechless).

Book-coming-to-life update: I have found an editor. She will start work on May 12; in a stroke of good fortune her schedule opens up not long after the campaign ends. This is a tremendous relief, as sometimes editors are booked months in advance.

There's still plenty of time for you to be part of the story. Rewards include signed copies of the novel and a limited edition hardcover version. Check out the project here:

"The Last Word" Project Reaches 55% Funded

It's been a great few days. The Last Word project is at 55% of goal 9 days in! Thanks to all who have partnered with me so far.

As I have written before, this crowdfunding campaign will cover things like editing, cover design, and printing...all of which will help bring the novel to the world. The most popular reward so far remains the signed, limited edition hardcover version of the novel, though the signed paperback is gaining some momentum.

You can be part of the story at http://thelastword.pubslush.com. It is certified 100% zombie-free.

Please check out the page and support indie publishing. I will post more updates as the campaign progresses.
