A new book...

Salut,

sitting in the train, with a marvelous landscape outside... We had about 10cm of snow during the night and the trees are dressed with a superb snow coat.

So how have you been? I have itchy fingers... A post a week is not enough to satisfy my needs... I know this virtual slowdown is a good thing for me... But it's hard... And I must admit... I kind of cheated on you... Yes... I did... In real life, I'm a very faithful guy (even when I knew a loved one was cheating on me, I couldn't resort myself to do the same), but in the virtual world, I think it's OK...

While finishing the story of this previous book I was telling you about, before I got to write the last chapter, I started to write a private blog, that I didn't send to anyone... Like a diary... and it really felt like I was talking to you... So you see... Even if I cheated on you... I was thinking about you (I know, a classic ;-)...

But now, it's over... That book has been put away (and I recently learned that somebody else is reading it, Ho well)... And now, I'm starting a new one... :-)))

Ho... And allow me to step out of the metaphor for a moment, so that I let you know that last night, I finally sent my novel to a publisher... One down... I need to look for more publishers that could be interested in this book now (I mean, the real one :-)... Do you know any?

OK, back into the metaphor...

I was browsing through the Facelibrary, and saw an interesting thumbnail of a book cover (I know we can't judge a book by its cover, but it's all I had)... So I registered for more info about this book... And got it... I was so happy, the book was willing to open itself a little bit for me (which doesn't happen so often in these cold virtual libraries)... So I got to see the high resolution cover, as well as the back sleeve and some other images, and it looked really good (“very” my type of look... eeee... book :-)... So I presented myself as an interested reader, and was privileged enough to receive a prologue of the book that I found really interesting.

So last night, I sent even more info about me as an avid reader (I hope it wasn't too much... you know how verbose I can be :-). And I also requested a bit more info about the content of this very interesting book... Based on the tone and the kind of info I get back (if any), I may risk a request to borrow this book from the library this weekend... And get to see it in the real world... real life... out there... where trees wear beautiful white robes... :-)
