Joshua update

News for readers of my novel!

First, I've been in the editing process for two weeks now and one thing has already become very clear, I need a proofreader. I have found numerous no brainer type mistakes and it makes me wonder what I'm not finding. I'm not sure anyone can proof read their own material. I can't.

So I've decided to spend some money having it proof read because I want Joshua to be as polished and professional as I can make it. This is a labor of love. The bad news - professional proofreaders, the really good ones, have a backlog of work. So my book's release will have to be pushed back to sometime around the New Year.

But the biggest news is that I have decided to go the self-publishing route. I was toying with the idea and now that I have decided to spend some money on this project I'm going ahead with it. I would like a chance to get my money back. Joshua will be a "real" book available at least on Kindle and as a trade paperback.

For those of you that have been following along with the story, don't worry I'm not cutting you off. I wouldn't like it if someone did that to me and I'm certainly not going to do that to my readers. Anyone that contacts me by December 1st will get a free copy that can be read on your Kindle or from a free app on your computer. Just send me an email and in the subject line please put "Joshua Free Book" so it doesn't get lost with the junk mail. I will take care of you when the time comes.

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm trying to keep the cost of the paper version between $12-15.
