Death, Divinity and the Smiling Man, a novella that has gone in name from “The story of James”, to the “Book of James, to countless other variations, and from being written in the first person to being written in the 3rd person, has finally been published.
It’s a big deal to me because I happen to have written it.
I could go on about the pride that I feel at publishing this work but to be honest that’s not the best part. The best part is that the book is out there. It’s relieving, much like (and pardon the language) taking a giant dump. It felt like I was literarily constipated.
I spent the evening after publication with a grin on my face – there’s nothing quite like seeing a piece of you out in the world.
The book has receive favorable reviews by those that have read it, so that gives me hope.
I’ve also tried my hand at cover design. Aside from the papal colors, I think it turned out fine.
I encourage you to give this novella a read. It’s available on Kindle at the moment, but let me know if you prefer other distribution channels.
