I admire your perseverance. <br /><br />I just have to say, I wouldn't abandon the first book just yet, I watched a very entertaining movie with my 13 year old daughter that was told from the zombies' perspective. It was called "Warm Bodies" and was released in 2013.Debra Yearwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251969031066243582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693278311831499317.post-22604746478979334972014-07-11T12:01:03.593-07:002014-07-11T12:01:03.593-07:00Thank you everyone for your kind words.

Whoopee! I'm an author too, so believe me ...I get it:) It sounds like a great premise, by the way. Though fantasy isn't my genre of choice, the idea that you mixed realism and did the research into the era is appealing...so I will look forward to reading it.jacquiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319760774255347751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693278311831499317.post-57472452497040847522014-07-10T11:27:47.898-07:002014-07-10T11:27:47.898-07:00\so glad that you didnot give up after your first ...\so glad that you didnot give up after your first novel was rejected.

However, I know nothing about book promotion or the writing business, to learn how to do this I decided to go with a publisher. <br />I am unaware of what format the book may or may not be in later. Right now it is being published on Kindle, so that is where we are at the moment.<br />Although my novel is of the fantasy genre, I made a conscious attempt to have realism in it also. As you know from my blogs, I do intense research about how people lived during that time frame (medieval period). I included scenes depicting exactly what it was like living during that time; this included the status of people, and even everyday items that they used. The book is a historical account of medieval Europe; it is just set in a fantasy world.<br />W.A.

And it sounds like your historical research will give your book a realistic feel missing in so much fiction. any chance the book will be released in audio or be available through the library for the blind? looking forward to helping you promote your book and learning more about the process from idea to publishing.
