I have found the voice of the “Lucky Evan’s Life” franchise! He’s got a Facebook page and apparently, this isn’t his first rodeo. Which works for me just fine as this is my first time doing anything like this. I’m going to get a fifteen minute sample of his reading The Dreaded Day Job sometime this week and I’ll let you know how things go. If things go extraordinarily well, I might get some more books done as audiobooks for giggles. This has also spurred me on to write The Agonizing Alibi Day and get it out there by the beginning of April, with paperback, hardback and audio versions coming out at the same time if I can work it.

It’s rare that it feels like everything is coming together for me, but it’s true. I didn’t think I would find the voice of Evan literally in the first round of auditions. I didn’t think that getting everything together would be this easy. All I had to do was approve him, tender him an offer (royalties, which means he’s going to advertise if he wants to get anywhere) and upload the manuscript. Bip bam boom. All of this has really lit a fire under me to get the next novel done. I was just going to poke along on the outline for The Marvelous and Malefic Doomsday Medicine Show and not really do any Evan stories under later this year. Now that I am (somewhat) responsible for someone else’s work, I can’t slack off. Medicine Show, the long-suffering book that it is, might be put off for a while as I work on more immediate things.

And Evan is a good series. There are positive aspects to it that I think the world could use, and certainly Evan’s notions that what we put out into the Universe we get back onto us has wormed its way into my personal philosophy. Am I going to turn into a Guru Joe like character and go about telling people to contemplate their navel? No, because I can barely see mine to be honest. I am, however, being more mindful of what I do and what I put out.

That’s all for now. Please feel free to look at my other books, as well as books put out be good friends on the right-hand side of this page. Be good to each other and I’ll see you next time.
