To paraphrase Walter Moseley, this is my plan. So I will be submitting to open reading periods, agents and publishers. I will be doing readings, excerpts and gathering audience. I will keep posting. I know I have good stories, I know that I can hold your attention. I know how to craft a suspenseful tale. I promise that you will experience the major crime in the beginning of the book. I promise you will not know who the murderer is in the middle of the book. I promise there is a cat in every book. And I promise it is a pure Chicago tale. Like the Chicago hot dog, there will be no ketchup!
