Fastest sale ever

On 28th Feb the publisher at Ghostwriter Publications asked me what I could do with the idea of Vikings fighting Yeti.

I pitched him an outline. He said "Go write it. I want 50,000 words, no more."

I wrote it in three weeks flat. Sent it to him yesterday.

He's just emailed to say he'll take it, and he posted on Facebook that he'd "Just read THE best horror/action novella that these eyes have seen."

Less than 4 weeks from idea to sale. The concept art is already done. AND it's going to be in hardcover.

Do I have my sh*t together or what?

I'm going to keep reminding you how not long ago you were posting discouragement and despair...

Wonderful how things can turn around in such a hurry, isn't it? And all those years you slaved away, building the discipline that helped you write a book in a month...hard work pays off!

Congratulations!

Funny, Kevin Smith joked about a future war against sasquatches in a podcast a few weeks ago. Yeti vs Viking vs Alien vs Predator crossover?!?!?

Well done on the turn around! I want to read that story like nothing else.

williemeikle · Mar 25, 2009

Well there's a Viking vs honking big Alien movie coming very soon in Outlander.

I like the Viking vs Predator idea though, or Viking vs Klingon
