News About “Wanderer Come Home”

Hi Everyone,

I have received the print proof of Wanderer Come Home, my novel, and want to tell you about it.  First of all, the book is absolutely beautiful—exceeds my most optimistic hopes.  I highly recommend 48-Hour Books to anyone who may be thinking about self-publishing his or her work.  48-Hour Books is the printshop which did the beautiful work of printing my novel and their staff is wonderful, professional, and easy to work with.  So be sure to check them out.

Not only is this book beautiful but it is also made of top-shelf materials and of superb quality construction and will be a pleasure to read for decades to come.  The inside text is printed on 60# Bright White Offset paper that is thick enough and has a nice hand (feel) to ensure easy page-turning and a tactilely pleasurable experience (no stubbornly sticking together pages: I hate those!).  And it’s a comfortable read because the typeface is large enough and the lines well spaced to prevent eye strain and the paper is bright but without glare.  The cover stock is a 10pt thickness (0.01 inches, which resists curling) with a Silk Laminate that gives the cover a satin finish.  (I chose this finish because it is my favorite among the perfect bound books in my own library).  The cover design and artwork are striking and attractive.  I would pick up this book myself in a book store just for the cover’s sake alone—it features a gorgeous painting by Redon.

What else can I say about this book?  Oh yes!  It’s well written and, at 672 pages, will take you speed-readers at least three nights to finish (I don’t recommend speed-reading this book, however.  It would be better savored.).  It’s not at all a predictable read and you might find the storyline somewhat unconventional.  But I can also say that you will never find yourself lost in the plot because the language and presentation of the subject matter is not abstract—unlike many literary works I’ve come across lately.  What I, as the author hope, is that you will fall in love with the characters of Wanderer Come Home and be able to empathize with them as they grapple with the situations they encounter.  Plus there is a bit of metaphysics thrown in because—well—because metaphysics are a very real part of everyday life, wouldn’t you agree?
