The Fourth Prometheus Edits

On October 6, 2019October 6, 2019 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn NovelsLeave a comment

My editor returned the manuscript to me, and included with it was a thirteen page assessment of the work covering, characters, setting, plot, POV, and voice. It is quite thorough and at first a shot to the ego. This is the most challenging part of the writing process. Your work is laid bare and dissected. …

Why Vampires

On December 18, 2013December 21, 2013 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn NovelsLeave a comment

Why in the great wide universe of things to scare you would any author in this day choose vampires? To hear it from some, zombies have replaced vampires as the go to monsters in any horror novel. Don't get me wrong I love rotting hungry corpses as much as the next guy, but I still …

So this week I completed the first draft of my Steampunk novel, The Fourth Prometheus. I am quite happy with how it turned out. Now I just have to see what my editor thinks. It could be the start of a series, I like the characters enough to revisit them at least. I also think …

Undead Heart is Still Coming

On May 15, 2013May 10, 2013 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn NovelsLeave a comment

The problem with deadlines is that once you set them you have to be ready to deal with missing them. I began writing Undead Heart almost three years ago. The plot came together quickly in my head and the characters needed little development. I finished writing the book in ten months, I figure three maybe …

Designing a Front Cover

On March 16, 2012March 22, 2013 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn Novels1 Comment

Writers are often the last person consulted about the cover for their work. In most cases the publisher turns the responsibility over to the graphic artists in the marketing department. Independent writers are their own marketing department so coming up with an interesting and attractive cover falls to us and is either a benefit or …

Last night I took part in the City of Mesa's 2nd Friday Steampunk Street III. Myself and fellow author Michael Bradley set up a table for our latest novels right on Main Street. We met a lot of interesting people and I think found some new fans. I even sold some books, and that is …

On August 5, 2011 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn Novels, PublishingLeave a comment

Here is the final design for the cover of my next novel, In the Presence of Gods. I had the idea for it in my mind for some time but I was not sure if I would be keeping the title or going with a different one. I guess the hard part about self publishing …
