Book Buzz – DARK SURF news & goings-on

Many wildly successful authors—from Stephen King to J.K. Rowling to Stephenie Meyer—have received rejection letters. I, too, have received my fair share—though these days they’re actually rejection emails.

But what’s really cool is that many of these emails said some really nice things about DARK SURF! For a first-time novelist, I can’t tell you how great it is to get positive feedback from professionals working in the publishing industry.

Here are some of their comments about DARK SURF:

  • “I thought this was a well-crafted, imaginative piece… I thought the writing was strong and compelling, and would be open to seeing more work from this author in the future.”
  • “…an incredibly original take on the vampire genre…”
  • “We love the premise of this story and were excited to read it. The setting is wonderful, the dialogue natural and fun…”
  • “The writing in DARK SURF is lovely…”
  • “[T.C.’s] manuscript is very imaginative…”
  • “It is just such a crazy, innovative idea—really different. Also, sharks are awesome and I’m surprised there aren’t more suspenseful books out there about them!”
  • “I can definitely see that T.C. has strong writing and this particular piece has a new twist…”
  • “[T.C’s] dialogue is spot-on…”
  • “The writing is indeed compelling and the premise well-done!”
  • “…the plot is exciting …”
  • “I rather enjoyed reading it…”
  • “I like the story a LOT…”
  • “I love the premise!”

The premise is…

  • “a lot of fun…”
  • “intriguing…”
  • “original…”
  • “creative and the surfing details authentic…”
  • “entertaining…”

I can’t wait to hear what YOU think when DARK SURF is released this fall! I’ll share dates and details about the book release and book signing parties with you as they become available.
