My New Christian-Horror Novel, The Night Cometh, Is LIve!

 

My first foray into Christian writing--not that I haven't made the hero have to accept the Lord to beat the monster before--is out for pre-order for Christmas. The Night Cometh, taken from the Bible verse, "...the night cometh, when no man can work," from John 9:4, is my first novel with no cussing, which I think makes it scarier. There's a movement to make horror P.G. anyway, so there you are. Not that I'm a stickler about that, but this is my The Green Mile. 

Being a horror author, I was really able to make the plagues of the great tribulation gnarly, in a big way. The anti-hero is J.D. Howler, who's just turned thirty and is playing church, and, while he thinks he's going up in the rapture, he gets left behind. That makes him change his ways real fast. He befriends a few others that weren't living it, who survive--temporarily--in an underground shelter, but eventually have to go up into the nightmare to eat, and they go through the plagues, sometimes even though they're underground. 

I worked hard on this sucker, editing it fifteen times. Some say writers can over-edit, but I've found typos on the eleventh edit before. This is actually a rough draft from 2007--when I was a newbie--so you can bet I had to give it major surgery, working my magic on it, to make it a worthy story. I have a pared-down, lean, mean, killing machine writing style lately, and this one's no different. I'm just psyched that I've finally written a book for my Lord Jesus Christ, because, although some may argue otherwise, I'm not satanic. 

It's on Amazon, in eBook and paperback--the latter of which you can get NOW--so check it out:

Novels Don't Have to be 60K Words!

This post is not to argue with anyone, but to prove my point or, more like, to present a truth to reinforce my point. I've been seeing a lot of writer rules--the most offensive, in my opinion, is saying a just-over 50,000-word novel is a novella, or not long enough. Gotta be at least 60K, 80K: perfect!

Of course 80K is the goal, but even Stephen King says the book dictates the length, not you. It's seems nit-picky to me.

And if you're right, then why is my favorite novel, Rosemary's Baby, about 200 pages, and my second-favorite, The Haunting of Hill House, also around 200 pages?

Because it's not true! The novel I'm trying to get published is 55,000 words, but I think it's the most important book I've ever written! Definitely enough story to be worth the cost of admission! Maybe 50K is technically a novella, but I'm talking over 50,000 words. 

Thanks for letting me shed light on this annoying rule.
