Titles of my stories
The 25-word synopsis of of my novel EVE320 caused quite a buzz at the La Jolla Writers Conference. It’s exciting to see such interest in an idea that I developed. If I can just pull off the story, then I might have something. This is my second year attending the La Jolla Writers Conference. Antoinette…
I’ve redesigned the web site using CSS 2.0 (the CSS validates as 2.1–yay!) Further, I’m headed to the La Jolla Writers Conference at the end of this week. I’m anxious about what Eldon Thompson and Margaret Weis (myspace) will say about my EVE320 synopsis and twelve pages. – Brennan Harvey
I have finished the first draft of my first novel, EVE320! I’m thrilled with the climax, but a little disappointed with the dénouement. I’m not going to worry about that now, as I have a lot of revisions to work on and I’m sure that working on those will help me close the book satisfactorily….
I came to a realization today. I’m different from what I was used to be. Today I signed copies of my book, Teacakes and Afternoon Tales for the first time. I was so green that I didn’t have the slightest clue what to write. That was weird. Rather than waiting in line to get an…
I recently got published. The book is a small, independent press number, written for a very select group, the “Gulf Coast Writers Association.” The book contain stories about Mississippi, geared toward southern customers. Book signings are being held in places like Biloxi and Mobile. A very narrow audience. I never thought the publication was a…
June 14, 2008 Guess what I’m holding in my hot little hands right now. Five copies of Teacakes and Afternoon Tales. My name is 3rd down on the back cover! The story is on page 55. Who knew this little exercise, written in 2002, would be a success? I’m hoping I don’t get typecast as…
Way back in November, 2007, I received a call for submissions from the Gulf Coast Writers Association. They were looking for stories about Mississippi. I didn’t have any, but I remembered a little story I wrote after I read “To Kill a Mockingbird.” It was more of an exorcism to get rid of the southern…
“The Song of Maska,” my entry into the 1st quarter 2008 Writers of the Future Contest, received an honorable mention. Here is the announcement. I actually got to talk to Joni Labaqui this time, and that was a real pleasure. Unfortunately, I have been working on my novel, EVE320, and have not been able to…
I guess my complaining has changed things over at the Writers of the Future Contest. I was trying to find out where “Honorable Mentions” would be mentioned, and they decided to post them on the blog. Here is my announcement. I have to admit, I was getting a little frustrated with WOTF’s treatment of non-winners,…
I put another story into the mail for the Writers of the Future Contest. I must be getting old. I included the SASE envelope, but forgot to put the S on the E. Duh! Anyway, I remedied that before it went out. Wish me luck. – Brennan Harvey
