The Mailman Cometh

© Marta Stephens 2010 all rights reserved

I’ve been querying agents since July with my latest novel, SHROUD OF LIES. I know I've not been at this as long as some, but lately my motto has become, “A day without mail, is a day without rejection.” Such is life, but to my surprise and delight, I received the most wonderful piece of mail this past Saturday—my copy of Aaron Paul Lazar’s latest release, HEALEY’S CAVE.

When Aaron and I first met a few years ago, my introduction to his work was to read an excerpt from HEALEY’S CAVE. Even as an early draft, the writing, the character of Sam Moore, and the fascinating storyline drew me in. Since then I’ve come to know the man behind the writing—his passion for the craft, his dedication to his family, and the joy he finds in life’s simple pleasure are all meticulously woven into his characters and the tales he tells.

Now I can’t wait to read it in its final form. Thanks so much Aaron, and all the best with this wonderful addition to your long list of publications.
