I came to New Iberia to see my Great Uncle. But while I'm here I'll use the extra time I have to work on my new story, "High Moon". I don't know how much I'll get done, but I am looking forward to making some progress on it over the next couple of days.
Earlier to day I heard back from an agent who wanted to see a partial of my novel. She said it didn't grab her they way she expected so she decided to pass. I'm not disappointed. If anything I'm relieved my query letter grabbed her attention enough to request a partial. If I could get her interested in it I can get another...and maybe they will want to represent me.
Eh, you have to try and keep an optimistic attitude in this business. Otherwise, the reality of what you're going up against looms over you like a thunderhead.
About Me
- Kenneth Mark Hoover
- I have sold over thirty short stories and articles to professional and semi-professional magazines. My first science fiction novel, FEVREBLAU, was published by Five Star Press in 2005 and sold out its first print run. (Yay!) I am working on short stories at present. I attend one or two science fiction conventions every year and am always happy to meet new writers and readers of all kinds of fiction. So feel free to drop by and say hello! I was born in deep Louisiana sugarcane country but grew up in South Texas. I have two degrees, one in journalism and a bachelors degree in science (physics and chemistry) education. My main passions outside writing include chess, amateur astronomy, shotokan karate and politics. I am an unabashed Yellow Dog Democrat and an opinionated bookworm who listens to everything from Tchaikovsky to Rob Zombie. I have worked as a surveyor, an educator and a salesman, but my first love is writing. I currently live in Dallas.
