Wow! My first blog entry. I wasn’t quite sure what to write about but eventually realized that it had to be about Possession of Truth. Even though this novel filled with suspense, mystery and romantic intrigue was electronically published almost two years ago, getting it in print this year has been an amazing experience.
Possession of Truth started out as a serial to be posted on JoyBoy Island, but I had just finished writing From Russia With… and I was more than 18 months ahead of schedule. That’s when the idea of making it into a novel struck.
My partner and I were traveling to Ecuador for his sabbatical, so I had plenty of time to write in the evenings. The last week was spent on a cruise in the Galapagos
No, this is not Joy Boy Island.
That meant even more writing time! In between excursions to the island, I was found at the bar with my laptop and my favorite adult beverage, a Bloody Mary.
I finished half the book in a blistering three weeks. My style is fast-paced and easy-to-read without being Spartan and leaving out details.
Once back in the real world, where day-to-day responsibilities take priority, it took three more months to finish writing the book, followed by a solid two months to edit it. I have to admit that I enjoyed every minute and am ecstatic about how it came out.
