We have finally finished our first book "Tenebrae", however I feel it's my duty to inform you that there were a number of characters in the book that were not the least bit pleased as to how they were portrayed in the book. As we all know this book is complete fiction, after clarifying that point I must tell those characters that if they have been portrayed as evil, treacherous or less than scrupulous -it is because that is what they are. The book might be fiction, but I could not in good conscience write such a book without being truthful about the made up facts. Truth being as it is you cannot alter what you characters are, and you know which ones I am talking about. No amount of complaining or fictitious litigation will change the facts. If we wrote you as despicable it is only because you are despicable.
Our next step is to find a literary agent that will be as passionate about our story as we are. It goes without saying, we also need to find an agent who is not under some kind of evil spell or is in anyway connected with Tenebrae . That should be an easy task, regardless what Ann tells me. I have no doubt there is a literary agent out there that will look on our book for it's literary and entertainment merit, and not a cheap attempt to bash Tenebrae or to make a political statement against it's sovereignty (even though they are as evil as evil can be and have been for generations).
You might say, our future is now in the hands of fate, and maybe it is, but before I relinquish our future to the hands of fate, I would like to relate a story.
Once upon a time (I have always wanted to use that opening) there was a fairy, a very famous fairy at that. She even had a major role in a very famous TV series. One day this very famous fairy got really sick and was on her last fairy breath. It was really quite sad because we all loved her. Well her best friend, a chap named Pete was not about to let her go softly into the night. As it turned out, all the famous fairy really needed was people to believe in her. With the help of some TV executives, Pete was able to arrange for some air time, where he proceeded to tell the entire universe that his fairy friend needed us to believe in her. I myself can remember countless hours where I clapped my hands together and recited "I do believe in fairies, I do"
To make a long story short the famous fairy made a miraculous recovery. I feel in my own little way I had a small part in that recovery.
I told the story to prove a point. If believing in a fairy can save her, why can't the same principles apply when it comes to finding an agent and a publisher? So if our guests could recite a few, helpful "I believe in this book. I believe in agents and I believe in publishers" (clapping is optional, but I do highly advise it),
we might get our miracle and get published.
