Help This Book Find A Publisher: BLOOD & SWINE
I have written and just now finished editing BLOOD & SWINE, a horror/comedy novel - about 88,000 words long.
And now I need to find a publisher and/or agent for this book. Agents and publishers can inquire and ask for a copy of the manuscript through my FaceBook page (search for "A.R.Yngve") or email me: pan_krator(AT)go(DOT)com.
Here's a brief quote from BLOOD & SWINE (6th draft) by A.R.Yngve:
------------------------
At this point you're probably asking: Why would an ambitious young man want to work with pigs?
Carl loved pigs – though not in a sexual way. He grew up in Sweden, the only child of his Swedish father and Polish mother. In the summertime, his family went to Poland and spent two, sometimes three or four weeks at his Polish grandparents' farm. Carl's grandparents Ivar and Olga Krocek taught him all about pigs: how they were born, how to feed and raise them, how to make them grow fat and healthy.
The little boy Carl got a pet piglet to keep on the farm, and named it Prosi after the Polish word for “piglet.” Carl fed, bathed and tended that pig with more devotion than most children would spend on their dogs.
Predictably, this ended in tears and bacon.
------------------------
Do you know an agent or editor who might want to read BLOOD & SWINE? Then direct him/her to me.
(NOTE: This manuscript contains violent scenes, adult language, and adult situations.)

Chapter 9 of THE TIME IDIOT
My homepage has been updated with Chapter 9 of THE TIME IDIOT, my novel-in-search-of-a-publisher.
(Look: If you think this is a strange way of trying to get a novel in print, it has worked for me before. I got my first book publisher by posting chapters from TERRA HEXA. But it took several years.)
Choice Quote from THE TIME IDIOT, Chapter 9 (wherein Prescott Walker travels in time to pre-revolutionary Russia):
--------------------------------------
"I never hear of your newspaper," said the henchman, who called himself Oleg. "Is big, this 'Drudge Report'? Many readers?"
"Biggest in the world!" Prescott assured him.

Tom Shone: "When Novelists Sober Up"
What happens with alcoholic writers when they quit drinking (or try to)?
My position on drugs and creativity hasn't changed: drugs will NOT make you a better writer. If you want to write in an "uninhibited" state of mind, try staying up late.
