Bob Avey’s 1st Quarter 2019
Newsletter
I thank my loyal readers, and everyone, who has signed up to receive
updates. The growth of the list continues to amaze me. 30 new readers have
signed up since my last newsletter. I truly hope that you find enjoyment and
entertainment from my books and newsletters. In appreciation, instead of the
usual drawing-one-name-from-the-hopper thing for the free autographed copy, I
will give the first three respondents an autographed copy of their choice –
Chosen from one of my books of course – and all you have to do is send me an
email at bob@bobavey.com
I am finally finished with the 4th book in the Detective
Elliot series, which will be titled Identity Theft. It is now in the
editing stages, so it will be a few months before it is ready for publication. At
this point, I am uncertain if Identity
Theft will be published independently, or traditionally. I’m hoping for
traditional. The manuscript is of a quality to carry that. However, following
the traditional route is time consuming – finding the right publisher and then
waiting for them to publish the book – and it can be quite disappointing.
Whatever happens, I want success for the novel and I’ll be researching
launch strategies. One thing I have in mind is a contest. Any ideas you might
have concerning what type of contest would interest you as a reader, and what
kind of prizes – within reason – that you would enjoy winning, would be greatly
appreciated. Just drop me an email.
After Identity Theft, I plan to go in a whole new direction, writing
the kind of books I originally wanted to write. Stay tuned and together we’ll
see where it goes.
Back in November 2018, I dragged my old metal detector from the closet
and hit the fields with a few other members of the ITTHC, a metal detecting
club I belong to. It was good to be with friends and fellow enthusiasts, and to
participate in a hobby that I love but seldom get the chance to enjoy. The old
penny you see featured is one of the things I found. It’s difficult to tell
from the photo, but it’s dated 1892. Judging from the shape it’s in, someone
probably dropped it right where I found it 126 years ago.
The other photo is of my office. For years, it’s looked like an
afterthought junk room. I finally decided to make it look like a real office,
from which I hope to turn out real novels.
