I’ve made it into the quarterfinals of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest, which is like surviving four rounds with Apollo Creed: you’re amazed you lasted this long, but don’t think you’re going much further.
I’ve perused some of the other survivors and, man, there’s some good stuff out there. Which is encouraging- if the judges thought The Ship to Look for God carried weight in such company, that’s a pretty good pat on the back.
And while you’re at it, download an excerpt of Ship. Or, spare yourself the trouble and just flip over to my main page and read a shorter version here. Tell me what you think.
‘Cause rounds 5-8 are coming up, and I’m not Rocky Balboa.
