2006 happenings -- thus far
Things are heating up as far as my upcoming book, Sun Signs for Writers, goes. The official release date will be August 9, 2006. Around May 18th F + W will be sending me to Washington, D.C. to participate in BookExpo America. I will be reading excerpts of the book in their booth. While there, I'm going to visit my long-time friend and writing colleague of 11 years, Kerri-Leigh and her family :)
The closer it gets to May, the more I'll know. Will post confirmed details at my author site as I know them: http://www.bevwaltonporter.com. Liz O., my fantastic webmaster, redesigned the site...so if you get a chance, please please please stop by and take a look and see what you think (I do think it's cleaner than the old design by far).
My editor at Writer's Digest Books wants the author/celestial profiles I'd originally suggested added into the book after all. They were abandoned because there wasn't going to be enough room according to the original word count. But she says she'll expand the word count to allow them to fit and gave me a March 1 deadline to write them up, which is cool. :) I'm glad she's going to let me stuff them in there as I do think they'll add a fun element to the book.
September will see the release of my first fiction book, Mending Fences, and I am co-authoring another book on writing, The Complete Writer Publishes, with my former partners of The Complete Writer -- with a new co-author added in this time, Carolyn Howard-Johnson! Deadline for that work is March 31st...so needless to say it's going to get very interesting come the end of March!
In addition, my life partner Paul and I are working on a joint project for a movie script...I don't know where I'll fit that in before March, but I'm going to try to at least do a little on it (even if it's mental development/research) here and there till all the other stuff is out of the way. It's an exciting story and one that hasn't been done before. The idea was his -- and it's a brilliant one. Of course, I'm just a LITTLE BIT biased in that regard. *g*
That's about it on the writing front. Hope your upcoming weekend is splendid and you get TONS of writing done!
Love to you all.
