This my desk at the moment.<\/p>\n

Besides working on Sylum, I’ve started research on the next book.<\/p>\n

At the moment I have a 100 page outline. \u00a0 It wasn\u2019t the story I was actually planning on doing next!!<\/p>\n

The next idea was an Anthology of stories, but this one kind of popped up and said – Hello.<\/p>\n

\"tumblr_inline_oefrpq3ng41sitq5n_500\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got a lot of research to do. \u00a0 There\u2019s a big difference between\u00a0\u2018what you think you know they do\u2019 vs\u00a0\u2018what they actually do\u2019. \u00a0So, need to start pulling together reading material, websites, books, basically anything I can get my hands on.<\/p>\n

\"tumblr_n2trt6cc7n1sjpn4oo1_500\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now that I\u2019m starting on this new endeavor I\u2019m going to work on posting updates, research, and even teasers over the course of this new adventure.<\/p>\n

What is this new book? \u00a0Well I can give you the title:<\/p>\n

The President and The Suit<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

If you want to read my first book \u00a0Conversations in Real Time<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0you can find it here:<\/p>\n

Barnes & Noble<\/a><\/p>\n

Kobo<\/a><\/p>\n

Itunes\/Ibooks<\/a><\/p>\n

Smashwords<\/a>\u00a0(Note:<\/strong>\u00a0For those who have Kindle \u2013 you can find Mobi Format at Smashwords)<\/p>\n

For those who have bought and\u00a0read the book, please leave a review at where you bought it. \u00a0This would be helpful to spread the word and get others to buy it.<\/p>\n

Again – the support you guys have given as been great, and hopefully you’ll keep following me on this endeavor!!<\/p>\n
