A Contract has been Signed!

Yes! I’m happy to announce that I’ve signed a contract with Mockingbird Lane Press to publish my fantasy novel.

I’m very grateful to all my family and friends for believing in me. I wouldn’t have gotten this far without your support.

Now it’s only a matter of time. Updates will be posted to this blog. Be sure to visit my Facebook page and YouTube channel if you haven’t yet!

    I am so excited for you! You’re a busy guy with school and your writing. Congratulations!

    Now, a sorta short tale. When we lived in Georgia about 40 years ago, I started a secretarial service/answering service and rented space in a big old, remodeled southern mansion. The other tenant on the first floor was Mockingbird Press. They took old books and re-published them in paperback. They also represented an author by the name of Moody who wrote a quite controversial book called “Life After Death” and I typed a large portion of the manuscript. Really a neat thing to do as they also were confident in my editing skills as far as grammar and punctuation. Anyway, I can only remember their first names, John and Mary, and I lost contact with them when they moved their business to St. Simons Island. I have no idea if this eventually became the company that signed you or not but isn’t it quite coincidental how life really does work?!

    We’re thrilled for you and know you will keep us updated!

    Love to you all!

      I don’t think so. Mockingbird Lane Press is based in Arkansas and is a mother-daughter run company. The press’s website has more information about them.

      It is remarkable how life works. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful story. It’s amazing!
