Okay, a couple of publishers are interested in Sleeping Dogs, but they're having a problem with part of the book coming from Max’s (the dog’s) POV (point of view). I’ve had a lot of people say the same thing before they read the book, but almost all of them have ended up saying it’s their favorite part of the book once they’ve finished. But reality must be observed on the road to having a book published. So, here is how it really works. text/html 2008-05-21T11:42:53+01:00 http://www.gordoncarroll.com/main http://www.gordoncarroll.com/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=88&Itemid=2 And I haven't even sold the first one! Okay, sorry for the distraction, but it isn’t everyday I get an agent. There’s an old saying that goes, “Nothing breeds success, like success.” Now I don’t want to jump the gun, I mean the novel hasn’t been sold yet of course, but getting an agent is a big step in the right direction. And it has me stoked. I’ve been hammering out pages like crazy on the sequel to SLEEPING DOGS, and it’s moving fast! text/html 2012-04-11T20:00:00+01:00 http://www.gordoncarroll.com/main http://www.gordoncarroll.com/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1&Itemid=2 Hi, and welcome to gordoncarroll.com.

Sample cover art of Gordon's novel Bone Hill (cover art by Athena Carroll) Breaking News: text/html 2008-05-08T01:31:34+01:00 http://www.gordoncarroll.com/main http://www.gordoncarroll.com/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=87&Itemid=2 The best news ever!!! (or at least pretty dog-gone close!) (pun intended). I went to the 2008 Pike’s Peak Writer’s Conference in Colorado Springs, last weekend, and pitched to an agent. Even better, I went to a class she gave on Christian Writing before I pitched to her. She was awesome! The class was fantastic, informative, and I can’t tell you how great it was to see a Christian agent speak so unabashedly about Jesus Christ. text/html 2008-03-22T00:26:33+01:00 http://www.gordoncarroll.com/main http://www.gordoncarroll.com/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=86&Itemid=2 Okay, There are lots and lots of ways to write a synopsis. To date I’ve written five novels, (three in the last three years), and I’ve written queries and synopses (yes, this is the plural form of synopsis) for each of them (actually numerous queries and synopses for each one). There are lots and lots of ways to write a synopsis, but I will share what worked best for me.
