Click Here to Sign the Petition!

   Posted by: Shannon   in THE PETITION

This is a petition for anyone who has an interest in seeing Heretic become a published reality. If you want to see this book in print, if you’d buy a copy of it right now if you could, please make your mark here in the form of a comment. Leave your email address, your name, and a message for the publishers and agents I’m going to continue to harass until someone gives me the one shot I need. Tell them they need to pay attention to this novel when it crosses their desks.

It takes only a few seconds to make your mark, and your support will make a difference. You can add your strength to others, and together we can influence the Fates. I’m a strong man and a proud man. I never ask for help unless I must have it, and that’s where I am now. Please help me achieve my dream.

If you want to do more to help me, I have one more favor to ask of you. Please help me spread the word about my novel. If you have friends and family who would be interested in this story, send them the link to the website and to this petition. If you have an online journal, MySpace account, or something similar, please drop a note or a link there for all to see.

The Internet is an amazing source of power. I need your help to harness it and make it work for me. Even in these times of instantaneous communication, word of mouth remains the best way to advertise, even if it is actually “word of blog” or an instant message or a text message.

Thank you for your help and support. Your time and effort will help me alter reality.

Sincerely,

Shannon “Tommy” Thomas

Website Update, Contest Update

   Posted by: Shannon   in Book News

The winners of the 2007 WV Writers contest will be announced in a week. I’m still hoping Heretic will place in the top three, and I’m hoping to place in the two short story categories as well. There’s going to be an agent from the Folio group at the conference, but I missed my chance to register and speak with him because I thought I was going to miss the entire Conference due to National Guard obligations. Now it turns out I can go, but it’s too late to sign up for the consultations.

I’ve also entered Heretic and Shadow Infraction in the LMP First Chapter contest, in hopes of gaining some exposure and accolades. It’s not judged until November, but I’m hoping to make a breakthrough with it. I hate waiting. VIEW MORE
