My current medical thriller is moving along nicely. My wife and I went to a really nice park and I had her pose as “Jennifer” one of the main characters in the novel for the cover of the book. Yesterday I got the cover done. Amazon now allows for pre-order sales so I may list the book for sale in November, I am now hoping for a December 1st release date.
The novel is good (not bragging on myself but Cj says I am.) but the story is good. The way I am ending it does allow for a squeal, which I already have written in my mind. But I will only put on paper if sales are good. Now a squeal is not necessary since the novel does end the current subject matter, but I do leave the door open for one. I like the plot of the squeal as much as I like the plot for the one I am about to finish. Overall it is a really good, weird, medical thriller. I have never seen this subject matter approached or the way I am developing it. I have read a lot of books but I have never read one that approached medical science the way I am.
I do approach some current news items and work them in the novel. I have also discovered just how predictable politics is. In chapter 6 I deal with many current events in the world and the way politicians are dealing with them. Well in one matter I wrote it long before events have reached their current level and I worth the reactions of the politicians involved. I was surprised the other day to watch the news and see the exact same reaction out of the leaders of the world. I went back and re-read that chapter and thought wow. But Cj tells me I am not a prophet, but in this case world leaders are just easy to predict their actions. Of course since my book will not be released until December readers will believe chapter 6 was written after the facts. But again I did not predict the future, just politicians ALWAYS follow the same course regardless of what party they are.
