I said last week that I may have to have a special blog post and so a post outside of the usual Monday posting schedule because I was running late with the cover reveal for my short-read book, “The Trespassers”. I had told the artist doing the illustration for the cover to make some changes. Then she began to run late on the changes and even seemed to, at one point, have forgotten about them altogether. So, I was hoping I could just go ahead and do the book cover reveal here today. Unfortunately, the illustrator has not sent me back anything and so it looks like I’m going to have to do a special blog post after all. So, the best thing for you to do is to keep checking throughout the week here, at my Facebook page or my Instagram page.
In the meantime, I've been working with the tools at Draft 2 Digital which are new to me and in doing so I've uploaded the manuscript this past Friday. That's for the ebook version; I'll be working on uploading the manuscript for the print version in the next couple of days and then I’ll be uploading it onto Kindle Direct Publishing so I can make both versions available there as well.
The book cover may be running late, but I do have a slightly revised version of the synopsis here which I've also uploaded to D2D. After showing the original synopsis to a couple of my Facebook writers' groups, it was suggested to get rid of some extra wording (which wasn't too much). I also replaced "post mortem alien terror" with "alien terror from beyond death". I don't know why, but people were having a hard time with "post mortem" for some reason even though they seemed to know that it means “after death”. Maybe it was just too Latin for them, in spite of some of these people being Catholic like myself! So, here’s the newly revised synopsis . . .
‘The Trespassers’ Synopsis
After crash-landing on a desert planet, astronaut and forensic anthropologist Gav Torres becomes separated from the rest of his expedition. He soon enough reunites with everybody except one person: his fiancé, Shelley Wu. Gav’s persistence to find Shelley will soon reveal to him the alien terror from beyond death that may be responsible for her disappearance, the previous expeditions’ disappearances and the likely annihilation of himself and the rest of the current expedition.
Until soon . . .
