My novel Alvarado is now available for order from Amazon, though it debuts at Atmospherepress on September 1st. Still, I’m anxious as always but the moment is here.
On the cover of my novel is a picture of my ex-girlfriend that has been altered. I reached out to her before publishing my novel but after she found out I was looking at her Instagram account she deleted it! Well, it’s really over. At one point we were talking somewhat online but now she has disappeared for good. Maybe that’s a good thing, maybe not and I admit I was a little immature before but so was she. Now we are at this point and we are different people but I tried to capture what I knew in past in my novel and how it makes me sort of feel now, though I altered some things to express all the feeling I had inside of me for so long. Isn’t that what art is for, sometimes?
I’m doing freelance writing for a coffee magazine and so far so good but for one cafe it was a disaster trying to coordinate a time and it ended in miscommunication and misunderstanding but I have to move forward. Nobody likes it when things go wrong but sometimes things do and sometimes you can reconcile and sometimes you can’t.
Last, I bought a seat post for my new road bike build and it was missing a part. I called FSA the manufacture and they told me to send over a picture and when I did they told me my seat post was a fake. It could be worse but at the same time it’s another disappointment. But I over came it and ordered a seat post from my local bike shop. It’s better than having a bicycle stolen but nobody likes a fake, at least I don’t.
