I'm thrilled beyond words that my latest book "Everything but a Novel" will be released at the end of October. This book has been a year in the making, and it's very different from my first published books. Let's take a little look at what is inside.

Inside the book you'll find that there are ten chapters, and each title page will give you a brief description of what you'll find within that chapter.
Chapter One features Six-Word Stories. That's right, a whole story within six words. Let me tell you, it was not easy for me to tackle this idea.
Chapter Two is Twitterature. Twitterature is inspired by the social media app, Twitter, and each story contains two hundred and eighty characters. This was a fantastic challenge, especially pushing the boundaries of word usage and grammar.
Chapter Three and Six you will find poetry. Chapter Three will feature shorter poems written in my eclectic style. Chapter Six features longer poems in a more traditional style, yet they still contain a little bit of my flair. You guys, I even titled my poems in both chapters! Aren't you excited about that?!?
Chapter Four and Five are Dribbles and Drabbles. Dribbles are written with fifty words and Drabbles are written with one hundred words. No more, no less.
Chapter Seven Mirco Stories are stories written in under three hundred words.
Chapter Eight Micro Fiction are stories written in at least three hundred words, but not over five hundred words.
Chapter Nine are my Sudden Fiction stories which are written in at least seven hundred fifty words but under one thousand words.
Chapter Ten features a short story that is written in over one thousand words but not over five thousand words.
"Everything but a Novel" was an excellent challenge for me, testing my abilities to write within certain parameters and with different voices outside of my own. I hope that I can tackle another project like this in the future. Let me know below which chapter you are looking forward to the most!
