It took very little time between when I sent the completed manuscript in, and Audible’s production department got back to me. My wife and I had been discussing who would be a good narrator for the novel, and I was chagrined when the email from Audible indicated that they’d already assigned a voice actor. But …

Editing Done. Fer shur.
I just sent off the final version of my manuscript to the publisher. Wow, nerves, much? And it doesn’t matter how many times you look it over before hitting send, you’re still positive that you’ve forgotten something. I’ve also asked my agent about narrator’s voices. I have an opinion or two on that subject, as …

Editing Done. Maybe.
Today, I sent my edited manuscript back to the editor. She was surprised that it was so fast. And there’s another source of anxiety. I know that I have fast turnaround. When I was doing my query on absolutewrite, there were comments made about how fast I was turning around the versions. And I don’t …

Yep. Then, yes. Excuse me, must take time to happy-dance. And, I’m back. The agreement with Audible includes access to a professional …

I am here!
Hi everyone! (I can’t decide if that’s ironic or not) As you can see, I now have my own domain. Woo hoo! It’s going to be a bit of a slog for a while, but eventually I’ll get this puppy organized. I’ll also be bringing over my posts from my earlier blog. I guess I’ll …

Name change. Sort of.
This is not much of a blog post, I’ll admit. More of a notice. Turns out “Dennis Taylor” is a fairly common name. Who knew? So I’ll be using “Dennis E. Taylor” in the future, and I’m hoping to change the Outland cover at some point as well– although that’s a big PITA to do …
