Questions and Answers: Part 2

5/28/2016

In less than a month ANOM: Awakening will be released.  This week I'd like to answer some of the questions I've received about my book.  Of course if I don't get to YOUR specific question, you can always ask me in person at my Launch Party! Not long to wait now.

​Q: When and where can I buy your book?

A: ANOM: Awakening will be available for purchase online through Amazon.com on June 25th, 2016.  However, you can also pre-order a paperback version of the book beginning on June 14th.  This way you can bring your own copy of the book to the launch party on June 25th!  And don't worry... I will provide many (MANY) links to the Amazon page where you can buy my book.

Q: In what formats will ANOM: Awakening be available?

A: My book will be available as both an e-book and as a paperback. I would love to offer a hardcover version of the book as well, but currently there's no way to print hardcover books through Createspace.com (Amazon's print-on-demand subsidiary). I hope to offer ANOM: Awakening as an audio book through audible.com beginning in the Fall of 2016.

Q: Will I be able to buy a book at your launch party?

A: YES! But keep in mind that supplies are limited. Vanessa and I ordered 100 copies of the book to sell at the launch party. The BEST (and really, the only) way to make sure you have a copy of the book for the June 25th launch party is to pre-order your copy on June 14th. 

Q: Is the book suitable for teenagers/young adults?

A: This is a tricky question to answer as it's more a reflection on what your comfortable with as a parent than the actual content of the book. There is violence and some profanity in the book. To equate it to the movies, I would think the book would receive a rating of PG-13. Basically, if you were okay with your kid watching Captain America: Civil War, you should be okay with having them read my book.

Q: Am I (insert name of friend or family) a character in your book?

A: This is a question I wasn't expecting, but I've actually heard it a lot. It seems that when you write a novel, all of your friends and family automatically start to look for themselves in the characters of your book. The best answer I can give is YES... and at the same time, NO! Let me explain. You are not in my book. In fact, there are no 1:1 relationships between any character in my novel and anyone I know in real life. If truth be known, all of the characters are actually a reflection of me.  That being said, as I detailed in a previous post, our relationships form part of our identity. So there are definitely pieces of people I know scattered throughout the entire story... whether its the way someone looks, or the way they speak, or even a gut-reaction to some event in the novel.
