On
and off for years, I have worked on a book of adult fiction which is
now titled Tug of the
Wishbone. The novel
chronicles the first thirty years in the life of a child of divorce,
especially her issues with relationships and marriage as she makes
gains as a photographer.
Today,
the first 5000 words of that book are at Kindle Scout for the public
to sample and nominate if they think the book is one to read. All you need is an Amazon password. Anyone
who reads this can click here and see my submission to the Kindle Scout program. Kindle Scout discovers new books, presents them to readers, and chooses books for digital publication.
I
think I have a stunning cover, designed by Bradley Wind.
Tug
of the Wishbone began as short stories, five of which were
published in literary journals. When my protagonist, Maureen, became
a teenager, I found myself writing a novel. One year I finished the
novel and then, later on, spent months with major revisions that made
the novel shorter and more readable at 112,000 words. Book settings
are in rural, town, and metropolitan Minnesota from the 1960's
through the 1980's.
Kindle
Scout has the entire manuscript though they publish only an excerpt
for their program. Tug of the Wishbone can be sampled until
September 4. I hope you will click to see the book, read the excerpt
and about it, and nominate it. And explore Kindle Scout if you haven't already.
