“Resistant” Release

/ Eli Kale / Leave a comment

Friends,

I am pleased to reveal the front cover of my debut book, “Resistant.” I would like to thank the designer at WaveCloud who helped me bring this to life, as well as others who have helped and inspired me along the way. This is the first big reveal of the book, giving my audience a window into a story I have created. It is a great relief to finally reach this phase in my debut journey.

The story is about a young French girl named Rienne who is faced with a difficult situation when the German army invades France in the summer of 1940. With her home city of Paris now occupied, changes occur in her everyday life that are uncomfortable and unwelcome. As the plot thickens, she is faced with a choice that will have bearing on the rest of her life. What will become of her? Where will she go? How will the war affect her?

I hope you will check out my book when it is released in the coming days. And if you’re not a fan of historical fiction or WW2 history, I’d appreciate it if you pass the word along to a friend.

Follow this blog to stay up-to-date on the book.

Even Closer

Friends,

Another week has gone by and I am getting very close to bringing you my first book! This whole process has been, is, and I’m sure will continue to be exciting for me, and hopefully for you. I am finishing the final proof of my manuscript as I write this now; I have gotten the final cover from my designer; and I have almost everything set up logistically to launch the book very soon.

I aim to reveal the title in next week’s blog. I am looking forward to sharing it with you! The title itself will appear on my Twitter and Facebook, but more details will be included in the blog. More details will be revealed in subsequent blogs, so follow along for all the information you need to have to know about my debut book. I have very much enjoyed writing it; I hope you get as much enjoyment from reading it!

Final Phase

Friends,

Today, I begin the final phase of the writing process for my debut book–I have begun the last read-through of my manuscript before sending it off! It is really an exciting feeling, knowing that I’m inching closer to the end goal of getting it out to you, the public. I am currently working on building up my other profiles (like Goodreads, Twitter, etc.), so please check those out if you haven’t already! I look forward to posting details regarding my book’s release over the coming weeks, anxious to see how the process goes. Please tell your friends about me and my work!

Release Information

Friends,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and have had a great start to your work week! I am happy to inform you that the process is going smoothly for my first book. I wanted to include some details in today’s blog regarding my debut book.

I will be releasing most, if not all, details regarding my book’s release via this blog over the coming weeks. I won’t release complete plot details or anything like that–only little teaser quotes or bits of a summary. The book cover will also be in there at some point. From where I stand now, I plan to release the book in May.

I am diligently working on the manuscript, which is in its final stages. Currently, the book stands at just shy of 35,500 words, but I foresee it ending up closer to 38-40K words when it’s all said and done. The book will be available first as an e-book, then in print. Again, more details regarding those sorts of things will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Thank you for your interest in my work. I really enjoy the writing and self-publishing processes, and I only hope I can continue.

-Eli
