Well, it has finally happened. After writing for my own pleasure (and and at my own speed), about six months ago or so, I finally decided I needed to publish. I had turned 30 years old and and the dream of publishing a book had not yet happened. It wasn't because I was being rejected, I had just never forced myself to finally finish up a book. I just kept rewriting them again and again, never satisfied. But I needed to do it. I needed to wrap up a book for once and move on to others. But I wasn't willing to play the publisher-company-game. I didn't want to send in manuscript after manuscript, only to have it rejected again and again. So when I found self-publishing, I realized this was my opportunity. This was a goal I could accomplish on my own terms, in my own way. And so the day is finally here. I now have my book (Begotten Son) available as a Kindle ebook and a paper copy available through Createspace.
Begotten Son is only the first book in what will be at the very least a trilogy, possibly more. I hope that readers will not only take this first ride with William Donovan Dedrick and his faithful companions, but those that are still to come. I know that the ride is rather dark and uncomfortable, but I have always believed that it is in those moments of darkness that we see the strength, resilience, beauty, and truth of people. I hope readers can see how beauty can still emerge from the dark.
