As you may know, J.R. Murdock and I collaborated a couple years ago on a book. We wrote what we hoped would be the first book in a new YA/Steampunk/Superhero series.
Writing as a team was a real learning experience with ups and downs, but we managed to finish the book, currently titled “Jack Kane and the Statue of Liberty”. J.R. wrote the protagonist POV and I wrote the antagonist.
The story went through several editorial iterations before we felt it was ready to submit. And submit we did!
And today, I am very pleased to announce that we have signed a book deal with Champagne Books. The book should be out in the fall of 2014.
And, in case you are wondering, we have already fully plotted out book 2 of the series. I know we will be talking with our publisher about that one in the new year.
Mike, That is awesome. I am so very happy for you both. I can’t wait to read it.
Congrats! I will be putting my order in when the time comes! 🙂
Thanks Richard. I think you will like it. 🙂
Thank you Jeff. JR and I are really looking forward to finally sharing this book (and eventual series).
This is awesome news! Thanks for letting me know about it last night on Twitter. I’m thrilled to read a work done by you and Jay. Can’t wait to read it! 🙂
And remember, you have to take at least some of the blame for the book being written. 😉
Thanks Dan.
Sweet, congrats guys!
Thanks Tim. Good luck on your next ‘little’ adventure. 🙂
Haha, you’re funny!
That very well could be. Wishing you and your wife health and happiness (not to mention your soon-to-expand family). 🙂
