Back in university, I wrote a children's book for my niece. It was originally a serial between her and I: she was bored and wanted me to tell her a story, and I needed creative respite from the daily grind of history-major essays. She liked it so much that she never stopped talking about it, at which my brother, who runs an indie publishing company, asked if he could publish it. Naturally, I said yes.
The story itself is an alternate-universe retelling of the aftermath of the French Revolution, replete with ghosts, ghouls, undead dictators, demons, haunted mansions, and lots of gun-toting rebels. Like I said, it's a children's book. I could have been a lot more explicit had I not been writing for a twelve-year-old (actually, I doubt she'd have minded...). I'm posting this here because I'm gearing up to start pitching my next big project, a novel adaptation of Fidelio, and I like to remind myself that I've published one book, so the next one shouldn't be quite as tough. Right? Right.
If you're interested, there is more info here.

This book is awesome! I recommend it to anyone at all!! I loved it!
This book is on my wish list! I will be getting it soon, I hope! Raine and I would like to know: when will we be reading the book with James in it? ^_^ I am so excited about your Fidelio project as well.
@Kat-I'm so glad you like it! Feel like leaving a detailed review on Amazon? It would help!
@Glenna-I hope you like it when you do read it. I've put James on the backburner for now, largely because I made one or two major changes to his arc that make me have to rethink most of the plot. However, someday I will actually write him down in full. He's always there, waiting. :)
