When I recently learned that another novel set in the Animation field was being published before I could finish and publish mine, I freaked out.
The one sure thing I had going for my Book was the uniqueness of the animation setting, something I’d never seen in a novel before. But, although the story is quite different, the other book also deals with the passions and history of animation and if it’s read before mine, Animated, A NOVEL could look derivative and copycat.
I’ve spent ten years writing this novel and I don’t want it to appear déjà vu. What to do to avoid being scooped? I consulted an erudite published author who told me she’d found herself in the same situation and strongly advised me not to be number two or my book would suffer.
Even though the final draft of ANIMATED has not yet been submitted to, read or rejected by any traditional publishers or agents, there simply isn’t time enough to go through normal publishing channels. The only way to get ANIMATED, A NOVEL in front of readers first is to self-publish it on Kindle.
So, if you click on the link at the top right of this page you'll be able to read ANIMATED, A NOVEL.
What’s it about?
In 2006 when CGI threatens to take over the last hand-drawn animation studio in Hollywood, animator Max Koa does his best work ever, hoping it will somehow save the studio. Instead, it leads to sabotage, showdowns, even cream pie fights and Max finally resorts to dirty tricks to save his career.

Apparently, a novel about animation is such an unusual idea on Kindle that it can’t be found in FICTION or NOVELS so don’t be surprised if you find it surrounded by comics, bios of Walt Disney and how-to do animation. At my insistence, Kindle is working on creating separate categories for ANIMATION, COMICS, GRAPHIC NOVELS and NOVELS, FICTION and LITERATURE.
In the meantime, search for the full title: ANIMATED, a novel or you might not find it. And it will have one of the two above covers.
*
This is not about sales, it’s about reading something fresh and new
and learning to love animators and animation. So the book will be free for the next 5 days so you can review it without charge.
If you like the book, please give it a favorable review on Goodreads, Amazon or the nearest graffiti wall.
Thank you.
