I’m closing in. The next step is in sight. It’s there, but somehow I can’t decide if I’m more nervous or excited. The cover is in the hands of the graphic designer and I’m getting Atom & Go formatted.

Enough of that shop talk. I would love some feedback on the main characters. Sometimes I find that my characters jump out of my head and into a scene and other times they creep out, one shy step at a time. Honestly, I don’t know that Atom would stand out in a crowd without the help of Margo. She completes his character. Sometimes I wonder where this story would be without her.

Is Go the keystone to the story?

I’ve started working on a sequel and while I’m progressing at a snail’s pace due to trying to get Genesis out there, I often dwell on the characters. What works? What doesn’t? Do I craft them just for myself or do I hope that their diversity will strike a chord with each separate reader?

It has to be both. If the story doesn’t connect, then it would be better off staying on my desktop.

A friend threw out the idea of writing some flash fiction focusing on different characters, perhaps in their own voice, like a journal to give their perspective on some of the happenings throughout Genesis. What are your thoughts?

As soon as I have a firm date for publication I will be shouting it from the rooftops. In the meantime, I hope I can post some potential covers for feedback.

Keep on flying and keep on reading.
