Derry, Northern Ireland
A book I'm working on is set in this town.

I've been thinking, again...

After I'm done with A65, UG and P/S, I may shift The Cowboy King of Texas into a romantic comedy novel, just to see what happens. I could also do it with Find Ray T, though that has more adventure  and suspense in it than romance and comedy. I guess it all depends on if A65 is a hit.

I'd like to make enough money to live on from my books, something nowhere near possible, right now. I guess another possibility is turning Blood Angel into an erotic horror piece and Carli's Kills into something damn close to torture porn. Then there's Darian's Point's three stages to write. That's another direction to go.

I guess this means I'm close to being done with A65. The more I look at the mock-cover I did, the more I like it. I can start pulling that together, now. In fact, I like it more than the artwork I paid for. That now seems garish and not really suited for the book...not even the paperback. My mistake for asking it be done too soon...though I thought at the time I was close to being completed.

It's funny, but I now can't picture anyone else playing Adam but Daniel Radcliffe...if it ever gets made into a movie. Big if...but still, fun to think about. Dream about. Picture in my mind's eye. I think that's what influenced my choice of model to use on the cover. I don't know his actual name but he's got a nice mix of cute and nerdy going.

There are some dark aspects of the story...but I don't think they overshadow the fun. I hope they don't. Of course, it's not like I'm going to reign them in. They're there to enhance the positive aspects and fun parts. Counterpoint to emphasize. Shakespeare liked to do that, albeit in his tragedies, mainly; put in comedy to give the audience a break.

Hmm...another step in my writer's ego -- comparing myself to Shakespeare...damn, I can be arrogant.
