Helm’s reading of his short story on U Tube is very impressive and a great venue for promoting a novel or short story.

My story has reached the point where my heroine travels back in time. Considering it is a spin off to a trilogy set in the 18th century, it feels familiar to be back in the 1780s.

I just finished doing a U Tube spot of me reading one of the stories from “Trainwheels, Flying Saucers and the ghost of Tiburcio Vasquez”

TRASH AND TREASURES?

Again I say: NEVER throw anything away.

So you’ve got something that’s been rejected dozens of times by agents and publishers. You just KNOW it’s good work, but doubt is beginning to arise. Well, the heart wants what the heart wants. Keep on pushing, you just never know who’ll discover this gem.

I had “Standard II – The Citadel” returned by a lazy pub house who peddled the work like a five-cent paper. It was the second installment of what I thought was one of my best trilogies. I had the first returned a year ago, and was just sitting on it not knowing what to do.

So I reached out to my current publisher to see if he would take Part One. He advised me that he only thought it’d work for the best if he took the whole trilogy! Huzzah!

Lesson of the day: if you’re pushing and shoving what looks like a sure hit, but running out of gas…take a breather but don’t give up. You just never know what someone might want to take it off your hands!
