Publishing and Promoting

I knew from the start this wasn't going to be easy. I knew I would be doing all the grunt work when it came to getting my first book out there in the world.

So far, it is a pain in my ass! I am tired and my back hurts. I have no money to spend on promoting myself so I am trying to do every FREE thing I can think of. At times I feel like a book whore slinging my wares about town.

Book reviews are almost impossible for indie authors. Most review blogs won't even take a look at your work if it wasn't graced with a the seal of approval from some publishing shark. I actually like being independent. I don't have to answer to anyone. I can keep and toss only what I want to. I create my own timeline, cover, and character plots. It's great!

Now if I can only magically show readers the path to my novels I will be set. When that will ever happen, I don't know. But for now, I'll just keep on keepin on!

End of rant.

Edit and Proof - The Scene is in it's final stages

Dylan's final chapters have finally come to fruition. The story has been told; we have a hero and a villain, a plot and a subplot and all the meat that fills it in. There is nothing left but to remove typos, check the tense, and make sure all is well.

Having finally completed a work that has been nearly 4 years in the making one would assume I would feel a sense of accomplishment. A sense of release at the thought my baby, that I have raised to maturity for four years, is nearly ready to be unleashed unto the world. The oddity is that I don't feel that way.

While I am filled with excitement and anticipation for the day of publishing, I am still not fulfilled. In fact, all I can think of is, "what will happen next?". That being said I am in the process of plotting the second installment of Dylan's Odyssey of the Occult. For this I am beyond ecstatic.

Cross your fingers and hold you breath for the first Dylan journey The Scene, which is set to be released Feb. 2012. Then keep your peepers peeled for book 2 later this year.

A teaser chapter for The Scene will be posted within my blog in the coming weeks. I hope you all love it-

It's fangtastic v-v !!!

Three Damn Chapters To Go

The story is careening out of control toward the final scenes. Bodies are adding up and scent of death is in the air like soiled socks. Dylan has been thrust into the scene of underground blood bars and vampires in search of the cause of the deaths of hookers in her hometown.

The last of the chapters are set to be completed within the next week followed by post proofing and such. The Scene A Dylan Hart Odyssey of the Occult will be available on Kindle and other ebook readers February 2012.

Released February 2012

Nicolas Cage is the king of falsies

I'm a vampire, I'm a real vampire.

"Vampires Kiss" 1988



Starring in one of my favorite vampire(?) movies of all time, Cage plays Peter Loew, publicist and aspiring vampire. After succumbing to the wiles of a vampire(?) and a series of bloodletting sessions Peter begins to believe himself a vampire(?). Avoiding the sun, eating cockroaches, and even donning fake plastic teeth in order to complete his transformation. 

Resorting to eating pigeons and sleeping under his couch Peter begins stalking the night in search of tasty morsels and eventually the woman who "turned" him. Havoc ensues when Peter makes the rash decision he needs to die. You have to see it to know the rest.

In my humble opinion best flick in the  sub-genre . Adding a touch of skepticism and psycho hallucinations it toys with the idea of vampires without sinking its teeth into you.

Dylan Hart - Journalist Writer Sucker Bitch

Dylan Hart is the female protagonist in my upcoming novel The Scene (working title). After years of struggling as a freelance journalist Dylan has finally found her niche. Unfortunately, this niche has to do with investigating dead girls. These aren't your everyday dead girls in Hollywood mind you, nothing is that easy. There is of course a twist embedded in their deaths. That fact that all seven of the dead hookers have been exsanguinated sparks the interest of the media, no surprise there. Havoc ensues as Dylan and her friends dig deep into these murders. Dylan and her BFF Tatum drink, smoke, and cuss like fucking sailors throughout the bloody exploit that is The Scene. In short, someone bleeds, someone dies, someone drinks blood. Its a hellacious good time!

Keep up with Dylan and her sick sense of humor on facebook.

~The Scene should be released January of 2012 on Kindle and other ebook readers. Check out Dylan Hart and the others in their hilarious adventure into the unknown.
