New Release ~ Beyond the Ivory Tower

In real life, next is one of my favorite words. Think about it, you're in line at the bank, waiting to cash your check. You've already endorsed it, and it's burning a hole in your pocket. There are three windows that have a "closed" sign, and the line moves forward about as fast as traffic on the 405 in the middle of rush hour. Suddenly the teller calls: "Next!" And it's you! Your turn! 

Or maybe you're at the pharmacy, waiting for your prescription to be filled. Or at the post office. 

"Next!" 

Hot diggity-dog! Yes! That's me, next!

The only expression that may be even more exciting to a writer is: "The End." After toiling for weeks, months, maybe years, on a manuscript, you finally get to the point where you can type those words. The End.  Wow! You're done!

Well, okay, not quite. There are still multiple rounds of editing, and proofreading, and approving the cover, and thinking about marketing....But, seriously, nothing is as satisfying as reaching the milestone marked by those two little words.

So today I’m celebrating. I've written "The End" on my latest novella, Beyond the Ivory Tower. The release date is November 11, but you can pre-order the book now on Amazon.

You know the best part about one-clicking? No lines. You’re always next!
