THE FIRST DRAFT IS DONE!

I am very pleased to announce this "teaser / sneak peak" for my new novel.

The Death and Life of Edward Wild:
The Postmortem Adventures of a Modern Man.

"Edward Wild is a novel of death and life and what may be true. It's a story of escape, of redemption, and enduring romance."

The FIRST DRAFT is done! After 2 1/2 months of part-time writing, it stands at 41 chapters, almost 450 pages, and over 137,000 words.

Now... on to editing! I hope to publish the book by the middle of January.

Here are the chapter headings for the entire book.
