Update on the New Novel
Exciting news - today, I finally finished the first draft of the novel I'm currently working on. Whoo-bloody-hoo! About time, I say. Well, it's far from finished, there's still a lot of work to be done on it yet, but to type 'the end' on the story is a great feeling.
The novel, working title 'The Zombie Novel' (though it's more akin to a coming-of-age story) clocks in at around 140,000 - by far the longest first draft I've written.
This has been a long time coming. I started the novel in 2001, after finishing 'The Last Motel', stopped writing the story about a year later, 100,000-odd thousand words in. I went on to write three more novels (one of which, 'The Mother' has been published), finally going back to it late last year.
I'm extremely excited about the story, feel its my best novel yet, and I can't wait to see what happens when I've finally completed the final daft and send it out in the big bad world.
I'll keep you posted.

This is great news Brett! Glad to know you are still working hard at getting more work published for your fans to have the chance to enjoy.
Good work, Brett, well done! Can't wait to read it. Were you tempted to entertain the ZomRomCom genre made famous by Shaun of the Dead? Probably not, hey.
Great news Brett! I look forward to reading it :-)
DramZomComOfAge - why do I picture Stand By Me with zombies? I'd like to see that LardAss scene with a zombie element ;-)
