I pointed out a book sale by Jennifer Estep back in May. Jennifer now has a website. Go visit…just click on that link I put there. It’s not the same ‘ole thing. I played with the buildings at the top for longer than I care to admit. Once I got that one on the right to take off, I had to keep doing it.
Her book Karma Girl comes out in May 2007 from Berkley. No cover yet, but we’ll likely see it soon. She describes the book this way:
It’s about Carmen Cole, a newspaper reporter who exposes the secret identities of comic-book-type superheroes and ubervillains. Romance, action, adventure, sexy superheroes … it’s got something for everyone.
This is her first book. If you stop by here you know how important I think it is to support debut authors (yes, including me – I have no shame). Here are a few statistics from her site:
A FEW STATISTICS
1: Karma Girl will be my first published book. Remember, all it takes is one good idea to get started.
2: My second book is tentatively titled Hot Mama.
6: Books I wrote before Karma Girl.
8: Years I’ve been writing books.
12: Months it took me to write and edit Karma Girl.
100-plus: Rejections I received before placing Karma Girl with an agent.
About 350: Number of pages in Karma Girl.
About 97,000: Number of words in Karma Girl.
1 million and 1: Ideas I have bouncing around in my head for more books.
Eight years of writing before getting her two-book deal. Yeah, that’s how it tends to work. Congrats to her for pushing ahead.
