Working on a new book

February 3rd, 2011

I’m getting close to done with the outline phase of the new book, an as-yet-untitled YA mystery set in Tacoma. I’m really excited about it. I can hear the voice of the main character rattling around inside my head.

I’m trying to think of a way to blog the book, but don’t want to force it. Letter Off Dead worked because it was a series of letters. But a mystery novel won’t work that way. I guess I could just do really short chapters. Any ideas, anyone?

    About

    Letter Off Dead is an actual transcript of letters sent between a 7th grade boy and his dead father. It covers the subjects of life and death, faith and doubt, fathers and sons.

    The textual transcript has been edited and presented here by Tom Llewellyn, a writer from Tacoma, Washington. The illustrations have been edited and presented by artist James Stowe, also from Tacoma. None of the content has anything to do with Tom's or James' beloved and very separate employers.
