Heroes in the Night Blog is Back!

Hello, Real Life Superhero fans! I took a break from the blog here for awhile to finish up Heroes in the Night. I've been slowly reviewing the final proofs of the book with my publisher (Chicago Review Press) and it looks great! In the photo here you can see me holding an advance reading copy-- this is basically a mock up that the marketing people use to get some advance publicity. The real thing will be available October 1, 2013 (see links below for pre-order info) and we got lots of fun stuff ahead-- book excerpts, in store appearances, all that great stuff. I'm also working on my second book. I'm not ready to talk much about that yet, other than to say it will document another interesting group of people.

I also think it's a good time to "reboot" the blog here. Hey, if DC Comics can do it with the "New 52," why can't I? Weekly Hero Profiles will start over at number 1, with the first running a week from today and carrying on every Thursday for an unspecified duration. Some of these will be people I've already profiled in the past, some will be new mystery men and women. I'll also be updating with news on the book, media and bookstore appearances, excerpts, and the occasional RLSH news flash.

This is a fun and exciting time for me and I'm glad to share it with you. I'll see you next week for our first new Hero Profile.

HEROES IN THE NIGHT GETS PUBLISHER

Hello, my friends. I'm very pleased to announce that after a lot of hard work and focus, I've signed a contract with a publisher for Heroes in the Night.

The publisher is Chicago Review Press, a company that offers an excellent catalog of non-fiction. I am very happy with the deal between us and have faith they are going to do a fantastic job and give the book the best presentation possible. Another bonus is that the company is just a short train ride away, so I can stop in and see how things are going in person if need be.

Here are some tentative details: the book is scheduled to have a Fall 2013 release. My final manuscript will be done in the next few months, and then the team at Chicago Review Press will work on editing and lay out.

The book will be available in an affordable paperback and e-book version.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me out so far. Being a published author has been my dream for a long while, and now it has come true.

I will be taking a couple weeks off this blog to work on some stuff and take a short vacation, but in July I will be offering some more Hero Profiles of some folks you'll be reading about in my book.

And now, I suppose, I should get back to work.
