BREAKING NEWS: It Is Here!

Yes, it's here! My book is out and available at Amazon. And yes, like you no doubt, I'm all tingly too!

Tell every one you know they NEED to buy this book, and tell them to do the same. After you read this you'll never again think the same of your smartphone, tablet or your social media/networks.

It has already started...

The cover. Special thanks to Donna Snyder (RS Designs) for producing such an awesomely dramatic cover.

Twenty-six months of writing, re-writing and re-writing still again is now a finished and complete novel. 

Here is a link to the paperback version (U.S.) of my book on Amazon: The Social Event: Don Lively - - If you prefer the Kindle version, click here.

In the United Kingdom my books are at these links: Paperback - - eBook

As far as price goes, I set the list price but Amazon sets any discounts. I have some control over ebook promotions but not over paperback. On the paperback, however, my royalties are based on the list, so any discount comes out of Amazon's share. Not bad.

(I'll have a Goodreads author link in w few days, once the publication data for my book propagates to Goodreads) 

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. But most importantly, I want to thank that loveliest of women, a gracious and tolerant person, my wonderful wife, Gail. She supported me, believed in me and helped me in so many ways. I am very lucky.

Thank you Sweetie. I love you.

Ever Closer to Being Real

Today, the UPS guy delivered the Proof copy of my novel. It is really a book. I can see it, touch it, feel its heft, flip through its pages. It really is a book.

There is still a little more work to do. I'll want to examine each and every page for fault and flaw. I need to continue my push to raise awareness regarding its impending publication. And, I need to begin the process of getting the ebook ready. All exciting and intimidating tasks. 

So please be patient, we're only days away. Tell your friends. and read a sample at my collection at Medium.

Not ready to reveal the cover just yet, but the title page is pretty close. And so is the actual release
