I'm Chris. Let's be heroes together.


May 2024 Sunrise Adventures

To begin, some recent photos from a life of waking up early and getting out to see the sunrise via a bicycle or a kayak. The old wooden piling photo below was from kayaking on Monday May 20; the photo of a fence with trees to the left was taken during a longer bike ride this past weekend, and the "geese" photo and the sunlight through the tree photo are from morning bicycle commutes to work over the last week and a half or so.
I have a tiny bit of summer news that I will post about later, once something fun arrives in the mail. But otherwise I'm still puttering away, trying to find a traditional publisher for the young adult "Within This Darkness" trilogy. I sent Book #1 to a Canadian publisher in western Canada in the winter, and received a fairly polite "no thanks" in reply. I was kind of charmed by that publisher actually, because they still requested an old school "paper" submission (as opposed to submitting your manuscript electronically via email etc). They also responded fairly promptly and actually seemed to have given the manuscript a good careful look, so I appreciated that as well.

Just late last week I sent Book #1 to ANOTHER Canadian publisher, and expect that with these folks I might be waiting up to a year to hear from them. Neither "young adult" or "fantasy" are really in their wheel-house, but they quite obviously look for quality and originality, so I have some hope that they will take their time with the manuscript. If these folks decline, I suspect I will be self-publishing again.

Best wishes everyone!

    I'm Chris Tomasini.
    I'm currently working on a young adult trilogy, titled Within This Darkness.

    Why "be heroes together"? Because - as someone once told me - writing is hard. Writing well is almost impossible. And writing in a way that truly moves people is something that most of us will never achieve. But - to that we aspire. And to do that, we have to be heroes.
