Notes on my novel:<\/p>\n

Crossing the Continental Divide<\/i>\u00a0[Amazon<\/a>] [iBooks<\/a>].<\/p>\n

My previous discussion of the novel in\u00a0podcast 60 (part 1)<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0included some details about characters and plot, along with some background.<\/div>\n

Is the book too short? (No.)
\nEbook formats: ePub [the one I used], KF8, etc.
\nPages for Mac<\/a> (for ePub creation).
\nReleasing the novel on Kindle [May 2013].
\nReleasing the novel on iBooks [July 2013].
\nOther platforms that the book is not [yet] available for: Kobo, Google Books, Nook.
\nMy (self) publishing house: DJMcloud\/pacificpelican.us independent press.
\nThis book was an attempted fusion of the broad Continental sweep of Victor Hugo with the blinding American speed of Hunter S. Thompson; a combination of stuff I’d experienced, stuff I’d seen, stories I’d heard, stories I’d read, and stuff I made up.
\nWhat would a Tumblr-feminist critique of the book sound like? (I’m not sure.) Is Lisga a ‘manic pixie dream girl?’ (No.)
\nAre there too many typos? (Maybe a few too many of\/if mixups, but much of the book uses run-on sentences, made-up names, odd spellings etc. intentionally: following thought rather than form.)
\nDoes the book fit into any currently popular genres of fiction? (No. [Maybe New Adult? NA?] No.)
\nAm I a bit alarmist about the Midwest? (I don’t know I love the region but it’s so crazy.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
