Here we are. Eleven days to go before formal launch of Fatal Score. The last week or so has been hectic, as you can infer from the lack of a post for a couple of weeks.
The professional reviews are in … some very nice ones. Several days ago, I excerpted them to the few lines that go on the back cover of the print book and in the e-book’s introduction. Was ready to upload to the cover designer in Nigeria (ain’t the internet wonderful?) and noticed that in my haste, I’d left out a single space in one of the reviews.
The conclusory line in the Kirkus review is: “A rousing launch to a thriller series that has potential regardless of which character takes the spotlight.”
Great. Add it to the others. Hurry.
I typed: “Arousing launch to a thriller series that has potential regardless of which character takes the spotlight.”
Hmmm. Fifty shades of techno-thriller? Maybe I should have left the mistake.

I have thought of myself as a writer for most of my adult life. In 2011, I became a fiction writer full time. I studied creative writing as an English major in college. Then came family and career. I worked in finance and biotech and did a wonderful stint in Vienna. Now, I have the opportunity to use those experiences as the substrate for my stories. My first novel takes on the world of Big Data and the very timely issue of cyber war. The second uses the manipulation of financial derivatives as impetus for attempted murder during a trip from Vienna to Budapest on the Danube.
I have taken writing instruction at the Cape Cod Writers Conference and from The Loft in Minneapolis. I am finding writers’ groups to be very helpful as concept editors, as well as practical advice from the published authors. I am in three such groups.
