Another rousing BLOG post by Mike Gonzales, the American, Spanish, Englishman.
I cannot start to tell you how fortunate I am to have been
published buy Fire Star Press.
Who among us can’t wall paper their home
Of course not. It’s just a rejection of the work I poured my
heart and soul into. It’s a comment on the vast amount of emotion, consternation,
and yes, at times even tears, that I have invested in the telling of that
story. It's a comment on that part of me that I have transferred onto that
page.
Not that I'm bitter, you understand!
Despite the pain associated with these rejections - I persevered.
I still have pinned to my computer the quote by Richard Bach, “An author is a
writer who didn't give up.”
The circumstances that brought me into contact with Prairie Rose Publications, as I look
back on it, seem highly unlikely. Perhaps even guided by an unseen, all
powerful hand. Anyway, that’s how I like to see it.
So here I am, four books on the open market and I still can’t
believe it. So, thank you, everyone at Fire Star Press! (Really, can’t say that
enough!)
My first published works are a five-book series called, “The
Unborn Galaxy.” Each book is a standalone story but they all take place in the
same fictional universe. Their commonalities are that they all origin on JILL,
the Joint International Lunar Laboratory, and there are bleed over characters.
For Example, in “Across a Sea of Stars” Kathy is a minor character popping in
and out of the story but only briefly. However, in “The Vampires of Antyllus”
she is the main character.
I hope you’ll follow me on this adventure through The Unborn
Galaxy, to the Moon, and beneath is cratered surface.
To a battle ground inside the great Moon base.
Come, be whisked away from the desolation of the lunar
surface to a world of beauty and danger.
And take your position aboard the Demeter for a many years
long voyage to another world and a fresh start for humanity, that is, if the promise
of this new world doesn’t bring about its destruction.

DeleteMike,
ReplyDeleteAs always, I enjoy your subtle humor. You have a good thing going with your Unborn Series.
Thank you, Kaye. It's still a rollercoaster ride. I hope it always feels this way!
