Forever and a Game is finished! The last 2 months: full developmental edit, line edit, copy edit, proofing. The (hopefully) final PDF/EPUBs have landed. Cover design is happening now. ISBNs and LCCN are set. 2-3 months away from launch :) It's been a long road... almost there.

@MikeShelAuthor This is amazing 🤩. Congratulations, Mike! I can't wait to read it.

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

@MikeShelAuthor Congratulations, Mike! Happy for you, and excited to eventually experience the awesome.

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

@MikeShelAuthor Your writing is awesome, enjoy your trip and your success 😁

@renatyev This deceptively fun (and dangerous) ideas is exactly why I just set up a recording studio in my home 😂. Audio book version, here I come!

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

@KWBussard_ This sounds really good 😊 I'm going to buy a copy via Amazon to support you, but is there any chance you'd be willing to send me an autographed hardcover. I'll cover cost of book and shipping :)

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

It took a year, but the home addition is finally complete! You're looking at a soon-to-be (temporary) audio book recording studio.

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

Impatiently waiting for my last round of beta readers. :) Only two weeks left - I got my book club to agree to read it for me. They've promised to give brutally honest feedback. I wanna move forward sooo badly, but I must be patient. <bites nails>

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

@Wisteraverse I did exactly the same thing! Betas are loving it so far, and that is all the validation I need. Cannot wait to hit the big green publish button.

Homemade pizza with the kiddos! 😋 Yum!

I had two writing concepts pop into my head while showering. I did my best to hold them in memory while I finished the shower, dressed, and made it to my computer to note them. Only one survived. 🤪

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

There are a lot of authors out there. I've come up with four different FMC names I like for a new short story, and when I search the web for them, a Goodreads author profile shows up every time. 🤣

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

@stephenRB4 I love gothic horror. Huge fan of Strahd! Following :)

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

@dorcasread68472 I am not interested in paying someone to read the story. If you are looking for business, I am not interested. Sorry.

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

My debut novel is finally ready for beta readers! Who's interested?

Forever and a Game
Psychological Drama
82k words

A character driven, emotionally heavy psychological drama with an underlying theme of adorable childhood wit, and wonder.

Note: Unofficial/temporary cover

@VickyBall3 @vickyweberbooks I'm glad I didn't research writing before I decided to give it a go. Had I known what I was signing up for, I probably would have quit before I started. Now that the end of book one is in sight, I'm beyond thrilled that I've made it this far. Still a ways to go though.

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

@AriaIgniata I try to plan, honest. But then I start writing, I lose myself in the scene, my imagination begins to take over... And... all kinds of crazy stuff happens. Like my main character arguing with a toad! Yep, that's in the story now. Plot integrated. It wasn't in the outline. 🤣

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

@aubrey_vale1313 @klhicks912 I am almost a one genre reader. Fantasy.

Yet, I cannot seem to wrap my brain around writing fantasy! All my story ideas are contemporary. 🤔Why?? 😅

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

@dorcasread68472 Should have clarified. Looking for volunteers. :) Thanks.

[Jason J. Herne @JasonHerne]

@booksbybreezy I'd love to take a look :) I have 0 time for this, but tbh, your hook got me, so I'll find time. Let me know what kind of feedback you're looking for.

100% unrelated note: I'll be looking for beta readers very soon, if interested. No pressure, no strings. 😀
