My Habari

For those of you that haven't been following me on Twitter (@brandingdavid), or various other places, you might not know that I am working on my first novel, and much to many people's surprise, it is fiction. The book is called Vanish Effect, and I am posting the unedited version as I write it on VanishEffect.com.

I haven't given away the details of the story anywhere yet other than to the person helping edit the first round draft of the book. I hope to create something worthy of being published before the summer of 2010.

I hope you'll all check out Vanish Effect (and keep up to date via its own Twitter account @VanishEffect), and if you know anyone looking at picking up a writer such as myself, I'd really appreciate it. After I finish Vanish Effect, I am considering applying my years of experience into writing a non-fiction book as one of my greatest passions in life is teaching, something that I am struggling with in my fiction writing, as I continually want to explain plainly, rather than surround people in the world I am creating.

And while I've mentioned it on my Appreciation page on VanishEffect.com, I'd also like to add a few words here thanking both Patrick O’Keefe and Phyl Good for their support and hard work. Patrick spent a lot of time talking to me about his experiences publishing a book, and Phyl is my on-the-go editor that has been helping me keep focused, and continue to push out pages. She is also helping make those pages "work" better and pointing out the times where I tell rather than show the various gadgets that I want to have propagate my society.
