The first step in publication of this novel is to send it to 48Fourteen the publisher of Other Systems. I know it got there, because the editor has sent me a confirmation letter. We will see what happens–honestly there are thoughts swirling through my mind.
1) Is is too harsh on organized religion both current as well as one from the future? Is it too harsh on the prison system?
2) There is a love story. Is it trite? This is my first romantic subplot in a written novel.
3) Finally, and this is the question I always ask: Will I make you care about these fictional people? Can I make you believe they and the setting in which they live are real?
Here’s a bit of non-spoiler pre-edited TRIVIA:
Currently there are four quotes from Albert Einstein in the book. Ian’s dad (Royce Whitlatch) refer’s to him as “an ancient philosopher and one of the early modern physicists.”
Author Dan Thompson helped me with the British English slang and impolite conversation–this is set in the Other System’s Universe after all. Now I can I swear with the best of them in two types of English.
There is also some swearing in French.
As I did create the artwork for the cover and Illustrations for Other Systems, I will be doing the same for The Light Side of the Moon. In fact, I was going to start on that in the near future so keep your eyes peeled for some reveals!
Fly away The Light Side of the Moon.
Let’s see what happens.
