Three!
Book Party - Hosted by Michael Murrell Lean to the Left - Hosted by Bob Gatty The Dominc Mills Podcast - Hosted by Dominic Mills I entered a reputable International Book Award contest last month at the Readers Choice site.
While I did NOT place in the Top 3, I did get a "Finalist" award. Way cool! https://bookawards.com/book-award/the-death-and-resurrection-of-baseball?fbclid=IwAR3J8wej2nQYvaDtCHHnhi2XX8VmE8sqohcg9oBK4LtH6v35I11wv1hgBQg The new title for book #2. A loosely based prequel to The Death and Resurrection of Baseball.
This new novel delves into a what-if our current national divisions go unchecked to the year 2061. With a poetic and historic nod to April 12, 1861, the start of the 1st Civil War, this Dystopian tale has a Civil War 2.0 starting on the same date. Unlike my first novel, this second is a sobering amplification of our current political and social divisions to their logical detonation in a second conflict on American Soil. Loaded with characters of different allegiances and narratives with a direct tie in to all that is on the news in our current time, The Sum of ALL Our Anger is shaping up to be a novel for our time. Check out this fabulous review from gagaoverbooks.com
Snippet: William Douglas’s The Death and Resurrection of Baseball stands as a passionate hymn to the power of sport to unite, and the place of baseball specifically in American identity. Written in folksy prose that nods to classic sports movies like The Natural or Field of Dreams, it’s lively enough for younger readers and populated with appealing, gutsy characters. FREE!!!! Listen to the first Three Chapter!My next novel is coming along nicely and I just hit Chapter 9 on the DRAFT manuscript. Unlike the first novel, which is truly a feel good story, this second novel tackles the frightening scenario of a Civil War II on American Soil. Stay tuned for more!Wow. What a busy stretch!
New cover! New Audio Version! Updated front matter in the print version and e-book version with some nice endorsements! More Podcast bookings! I'm enjoying the rider and still waiting for that breakthrough moment. I've sold 4x the usual number of books a 1st time self-published author sells. I keep getting encouraging notes and events, like reaching #! in an Amazon Category! Well it has been a hectic March, to say the least. New book cover design, updated 'front matter' and reorg of book interior, an Audio version now being processed by Amazon final production QC checks, reorg of Amazon and IngramSpark 'keywords' and categories.
All this in prep for a re-launch of the book to see what new heights can be attained! I purposed was laying low on the Podcast circuit pending all these changes. Time to ramp that up again too. Just got booked on one show and have one coming up in April. Stay tuned! |
