Ok, so you know I told you Sinister Press is interested in my book, 'The Greater Number'. They would love for me to send them the manuscript. Well, if you've been following that book at paul-loh.blogspot.com, you'll know that I still have six chapters left to write! I emailed them and told them that I'm busy this weekend and that I'll send them the manuscript on Monday. I'm not exactly lying because I'll be busy writing the last six chapters of the book! I already have it all mapped out with what is going to happen in each chapter, so it's just a matter of fleshing it out, editing, proofreading, etc.
This is potentially one of the biggest breaks I've ever gotten in my life, except when Kayla accepted my marriage proposal. I am determined not to sacrifice quality for timeliness. I have a very clear picture of where this story is going. Remember that this book started out as a short story that I wrote when I woke up from a dream. As I kept writing, things just started to fall into place and I found the voice of the story. It took on a life of its own. It may have started out as a dream, but it could become a dream come true!

That's awesome. I've had a couple dreams worm their way into a zombie book or two before, but my tales are always based on a true story. Best of luck!
