As many of you know my friend and author Joe Clifford has a new book out. LAMENTATION is making its rounds. There are even talks of a movie deal. No. This is not one of those boring promotional posts, so keep reading.
To get you as excited about this book as I am I’m going to give you a little taste instead.
You can click on the cover to buy Lamentation, now available as an e-book, too.
There are times when we all need help. Seeing our own work as others see it is extremely difficult. We spent countless hours crafting our characters, plot lines and twist, shaping and reshaping our story until we’re happy with it. We set it aside for weeks, sometimes months, in the hopes of coming back with clear eyes. And sometimes when we come back we still can’t see our stories like someone would reading it for the first time.
I struggled with this very thing a couple of weeks ago.
Don’t you just hate being inundated with one promotional post after the next? They fill up your inbox, usually they are self-promotional posts by writers you’ve never heard of, or by Joe Schmo who figured “Hey, why not? I know how to write.” when he really doesn’t. I know I’m sick of it. But that is NOT what you’ll find here.
All of these authors are superstars! If you’ve immersed yourself within the writing community, like I have, their names should ring a bell. If they don’t then you haven’t waded out deep enough in the writing community pool. And you should. Let me give you a little nudge in the right direction.
But first, let me talk to you one-on-one here a moment…
I had the pleasure of interviewing my friend and co-author on Prose & Cons, Joe Clifford. After you read this interview I’m sure you will agree there aren’t many authors who would have answered my tough questions with such honesty. Joe is a rare person. He’s talented, humble, funny, an all-around nice guy. But don’t tell him I told you, he has a rep to uphold.
