Things i have learned

When I wrote The UNFINISHED I fully expected to be signed on with a publisher. So the editing would be done with them. Now that I am an independent author I edit as I write.  It makes life a lot easier. It does not stop there. Editing Is the key to me in having a great book. After I'm done writing the manuscript I go back through proof reading. Fixing things I missed. Then I send it out to 3 proof readers. They find things I missed. I then go through it again reading it out loud. Fix more things.
Then I do layout and design. After that Is done I read it again and edit and polish it. Then I send it in for proofs. When I get proofs I send it out to my proof readers again. When they give me feed back then I polish more. Then I publish.
In the process of all that I am advertising the new book. Also keeping all my readers informed of the progress of the book.
So that is my routine and key to writing a good book. Editing editing editing. It is key.

My readers are the most important thing when writing. I always have my readers in mind. With out my readers I would not have a good book. I never want to let them down. Writing a compelling story with a good plot with the twists suspense and cliff hangers I do for my readers. I love it when you come up to me and I quote "I never saw that coming and then leave me hanging how could you do that." I love the feedback from my readers. It gives me great joy.

Q&A With Jonathan Myers - Author of The Unfinished

Question-Jon what is it like to be only two months away from the release of your book in bookstores, Amazon, and Kindle, to be released February 7,2017? Answer-   It is very exciting and it's been an extremely humbling experience. It has been a long process to get this point. I started writing the book in December 2015;  it took me three weeks to write it. It took me 4 months to find the right publisher to fulfill the needs of the book. Publishing a book does not happen over night. While the publishing process is lengthy I have found it is important to find the right people to work with to not only meet my needs as the author but to understand the work and ensure the readers will too. Over the past months my work with my publisher has only reasserted my confidence in my book. The most exhilarating part of this process is my anticipation of how you, as the readers, will relate to Dean Jacobs and his global adventures. Question- Many of my fans have asked me: What inspired yo

If this offends you

 I have heard enough. All this trans gender crap and stupid rainbow flag hanging in the White House.This stuff has my blood boiling. The church is silent on this stuff. There was a time when the church spoke out on things like this. When the church spoke out the world listened. Now days the church is to worried about not offending and losing their 501c3 status.  Since the church won’t speak out there are plenty of Americans that will. So now I will say what I have to about this. If this offends you and I loose readers because of this it is what it is. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Here we go.  In the beginning God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. When you’re born you have a penis then guess what you’re a male. And guess what if you’re born without a penis you’re a female. Basic biology from the beginning of time. There should not be any confusion about this it is so basic. You were born perfect in God’s image. You are slapping God in the face when you try to be something

May 28, 2018 23 : 00 CIA Operations Center Prague, Czech Republic:  “Ok, we have the go ahead from Langley!” Says Section Leader Chief Jill Carroll. “Where is the asset?” “Visual, do you have him?”   “Yes the drone has him 3 blocks west of the meet.” “Ok, people let ’ s make this happen. After the death of Agent Richard Cardenez  in Sarajevo. W e can’t afford this not to work here.  He paid for this information on  Vladimir Slavic with his life.” “I still say Alexander did Cardenez.”  “You’re probably right Agent Graham. That’s why we need this to work so we can get this information on who killed him.” Jill Carroll is a very passionate agent.
