2009--(NOVEL)--I
am currently putting the finishing touches to my first
fictional novel. It has been a true labor of love and one
of the most fulfilling pathways I’ve ever traveled. The
story is mainly set in New York and New Jersey, but side
treks to other fascinating locations are frequent. The
story lends itself to a series of secondary twists and
turns that mesh seamlessly with the main plot to both
enhance and intensify it. The novel spans almost fifty
years and ends as the twentieth century draws to a close,
leaving tremendous potential for a sequel. The characters
are intriguing, colorful and diverse. Two families of Irish
descent, from opposite corners of the financial world, are
united by marriage. The plot explodes with an absorbing
range of emotions, situations and occurrences, some
hilarious, while others are incredibly heart wrenching.
Without doubt, a wide range of readers will be entertained,
captivated and enriched. The writing of this book has
affected me deeply. It amazes me how the characters I’ve
created and the events surrounding their lives seem real.
The process has elicited a range of emotions, but mainly
what stays with me are feelings of joy and contentment. The
final editing and publishing come next! I’ll be patient,
but earnestly look forward to the day when I’ll have the
privilege of being able to share my novel.
Sincerely,
Will
