I’ve been rabbiting on for some time now about the book I’ve written, ‘The Kirkwood Scott Chronicles: Skelly’s Square,’ which is currently going through the querying process with literary agents and publishers. Unfortunately, because of this, I haven’t been able to share any of it online with you. This has left me feeling a little guilty and a bit of a big, fat fraud.
To compensate, I’ve started a second project, ‘Bomb Girl,’ which I’m currently serialising on the Wattpad app. It tell the story of Ariana Hennessy, struggling to build a life for herself after being born at the time of the bloodiest terrorist arrack in Northern Ireland’s troubled history, the Monksbridge Massacre. 18 years later, Ariana is starting a new life at college, trying to forget the events of that dreadful day.
But try as she might, Ariana cannot escape her past and is plunged into a brand new nightmare as a damaged young man threatens to unleash a second bloodbath which will make the horrors Monksbridge pale in comparison. Only Ariana can prevent it from happening but can she put together the pieces soon enough to save her college from devastation.
Bomb Girl is free to read and you can access the first two chapters by clicking on the link above.
Thank you.
How’s the querying process going for you? I looked into it and it seems like an enormous hassle.

No joy so far, unfortunately. Yes, it is a pretty horrible experience 😞

Thanks for sharing this piece and the good news of your second book. And I’m going to go over to the link you provide and read the first two chapters of “Bomb Girl”. But before I do, can I suggest that you go over to the home page of my blog at: https://edwardfaganblog.com and consider the add there? This add might help in getting “Brown Girl” a wider readership now, and an early publishing later.

After you liked my blog, I thought I’d check out your site. Your book sounds interesting. Now that I have more time, I can get back to the book I started and shelved. I was thinking of self-publishing. I am curious – why did you decide to go the traditional publisher route?
Congrats on the new promotion! My recent job interview was rather nerve racking — after being in the same company and a people manager for the last 12 years, I was used to being on the other side of the interview table.
Best wishes on your book and getting those bucket list items accomplished. I would love to hear how your read through the Bible goes.

Thank you very much on all fronts. I’m trying the traditional route first but if that doesn’t work out then I’ll self publish. Good luck with your book 😊
