I’ve Signed a Contract with Hartline Literary Agency

I’ve Signed a Contract with Hartline Literary Agency

I’m pleased to announce some exciting news. I have signed a contract with literary agent Cyle Young at Hartline Literary Agency for my next novel, DRONE. I’ve already been working with Cyle for a few months, and it’s been a great experience. He has already begun shopping the book proposal around to several different publishers, and hopefully I’ll have some good news before too long. I’m grateful for his help in fine-tuning the proposal and my opening chapters. I’d appreciate prayers as we pursue God’s leading and as I work on novel #4. My first two novels are still on sale ($1.99 and 99 cents) for Kindle. Check them out! Thanks for your support, and to God be the glory.

I love to highlight author friends of mine who’ve written some fantastic books, books I can recommend to you and your friends. My guest today is Heather Day Gilbert, an author friend I’ve known for several years.

Could you briefly describe how you got started in publishing novels and why you decided to be independently published? Oh, wow! It’s a long and winding story. Suffice it to say that I tried the road to traditional publication—I had three agents and submitted three novels over the course of a few years.…

Publishing Update

Hey, folks! Lots going on, so I wanted to quickly touch base before I need to zip off to my next project. What’s going on in my world of publishing? The answer is “lots.” First, Fatal Illusions (now published by Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas) is getting a new cover (see left). That should be done soon. Second, out of the blue, my publisher of The Tenth Plague contacted me, wanting to do a paperback release of the novel this spring. Expect it to come out sometime in April. The editors are going through it now, and I’m requesting several endorsements. I’m planning a traditional release with giveaways and other fun events. Third, I’m seeking a literary agent for my third novel, Drone, which I hope to be the first book in a possible trilogy. No word yet on the agent or publisher—these steps can take time. I’ve never had a literary…
