Paul Kemprecos Speaks!

Check out what he has to say finally!

Here's a chunk of it:

I am happy to say that I am working on a new book, whose working title is The Emerald Scepter. Like the NUMA ® Files it uses a team approach, with the leader an ex-Navy SEAL, now an undersea robotics engineer at Woods Hole. His name is Matinicus Hawkins and he is recruited for a secret mission to find the lost treasure of the Legendary King Prester John, whose recovery has world-wide implications. The team includes Matt’s ex-wife, an old comrade-in-arms, and a brilliant but oddball computer whiz.
I’m about half-way through the first draft, which means the Scepter is several rewrites away from being a finished manuscript. The next step will be to find a publisher. And as usual, I am fretting over the slow pace of production, and tussling with many questions. Is there enough action and adventure? Is it original enough? Does the ****ed thing make sense?
It’s a little scary being back on my own, but liberating at the same time. I will try to be better at keeping my friends posted on my progress, either at this site or Facebook.
In the meantime, the best to all my NUMA ® Files pals!

Rest is here!

I'm not surprised hes tussling with "is it original enough"...i'd have to say on the surface Paul...No.

Re: Paul Kemprecos Speaks!

Based on that short description I'd say it's way to soon to determine if it is or it isn't.

Go with your instincts, Paul, (they've been good in the past).... I'll give it a read.
