Book is to be published next year!

Well, it's getting closer to the time when my book will finally be published. Editing still takes up many hours of my day, but I can now see a very small light at the end of the proverbial tunnel.
Suraya, CEO of he Story Mint, has set a date of June 2013. A long way away, I know, but it's a goal date, so we shall finalise as we get closer.

I then have a sequel to finish writing as well as two other novels to finish editing that are separate to the first. So much work to do and so little time.

On two other notes:
I scored a speaking part in the show named Mrs Biggs. A movie about Ronald Biggs, the train robber, and his family.
My part is where Ronald and his family are in Australia and there's an accident when the ambulance is going to a hospital.
I'm the ambulance driver.
I jump out and yell at the person driving the other car, then drive like a maniac (seriously was actually driving like a maniac as instructed by the director in a powerful 1960s ambulance with no power steering, no power assisted breaking and taking corners like I was indestructible).

Second is my part in a Britex commercial.
Narelle (my TV wife) and I battle it out with different vacuum cleaners to see who is the winner.
Already airing in their test city of Wollongong on WIN tv. Then will go national depending on consumer response. So if you live in Wollongong please go and hire out a Britex steam cleaner vac from coles and say you are doing it because of the commercial!! Then maybe we'll be called back for more commercials with Britex :)

A publisher for you!

Hey, if you would like to get to know a publisher while she is starting up, then see this note directly from her:

"If you are not yet a member of The Story Mint go to http://www.thestorymint.com/ and register. This is an ‘invite only’ as The Story Mint is still in its early developmental stage."

There is an area you can submit a full length manuscript (novel) for her to consider.
A serial story that you can add to (although all chapters are taken for this current story - so maybe just give feedback on chapters already written, for now).
A place you can receive computer generated feedback on 250 words or so.

She is also looking for feedback on her site since it is only in its BETA stage and will need a lot of work before it is up and running correctly and is more appealing to the eye.
I hear the best way to getting published is to get involved with publishers that are just starting up. So now here’s your chance!!
