Venice, Missing - A New Gregory C. Randall Book
Publisher’s
Marketplace Announcement
It’s been a while
since my last post, I apologize to all my readers who thought that I either
quit blogging or ran off to Tahiti (great thought, BTW). What I have been up to
is writing, seriously writing. Finished two books since August, one that was
taking in by a publisher, and another that is being shopped by my agent. Every
book or manuscript goes through a series of steps or stages, from initial
concept through drafts, rewrites, edits, line edits, actually until the thing
looks like road kill (and often feels like it too). That’s when you present it to
a publisher hoping they too see what you started with, so many months before.
Big Announcement:
What a great way to
start the year! I’ve been writing fiction and non-fiction for twenty years. I
have two active thriller series (see columns left and right) and three others
underdevelopment. I’ve self/indie published nine books. Writers want to share
our stories with others, and Kimberley Cameron has helped this writer achieve
this dream, a real contract with a real big-time publisher. So here you are as
posted in the upcoming Publishers
Marketplace:
Fiction: Thriller
Greg Randall's VENICE, MISSING, book one of the Alexandra Polonia
Series, involving two women protagonists—each carrying heartbreaking burdens
from their pasts and seeking retribution for bloody wars and shattered
families— as they confront their enemies, personal ghosts, and eventually each
other in the ancient city of canals, to Jessica Tribble at Thomas & Mercer,
in a two-book deal, for publication in 2018, by Kimberley Cameron at Kimberley
Cameron & Associates (world).
I’m going to frame
that and put it on the wall.
Not to worry Sharon O’Mara
fans, a new book is on the way, hopefully this summer. Sharon and Kevin are in
Ireland, nasty stuff happens, but of course our friends manage to win the day.
And not to forget Tony
Alfano—our Chicago detective is hard on another case. Fists fly and bodies fall
as Alfano chases down another villain during the Century of Progress Fair. Its 1933, those bygone days of yesteryear, when men were men, women soft and
lanky, and Chicago politicians acted just the same.
Some new characters
are in the works. New Guy: he’s spy in Rome during World War II and a follow-up book in Cairo. Good historical stuff here, OSS and CIA, sexy brunette, and very bad Nazis.
The new year looks
very promising, can’t wait to get started.
More later . . . . . .
