It's finally here. After years of flirting with potential publishing partners, sending coded messages -- "Do you like me? Check Yes, No, Maybe -- my first novel, The Last Good Halloween, is officially out. At some point, I'm going to write a chronicle of everything it took to get to this point, but for now I'm just going to enjoy myself.
Ultimately, it was a small indie press here in Chicago called Tortoise Books that read the manuscript and thought there was something in it that the world should see. Working with them has been a pleasure -- emails responded to, phone calls returned -- basically the opposite of all my other experiences with the publishing world. For the first time in my writing career, it feels like I have an actual partner.
Now, there are a number of ways you can get your hands on this little gem: Amazon has paperback and Kindle versions available. Or you can walk into your favorite local bookstore, pound your shoe on the counter Khrushchev-style and demand they stock it (which would be great, by the way). If, however, you're interested in getting your hands on a signed copy, surf your way over to that "Novel" button and order it straight from me. Whichever way you get your hands on it, I hope you enjoy the read!
