Perpetual the movie? Fun Facts about Perpetual P2

Perpetual II (P2) is racing to the fevered pitch ending, and will soon go to the editors. As P1 - P3 were originally written as one novel, it's been a riot layering into the pages new things like Vladimir Putin's role in Perpetual (what do you think, good guy or bad guy?), and many other key events. The other side of the layer coin is taking things out to increase the suspense. Oh, I know, these are things that a novelist shouldn't discuss, but hey, if you are on the recipient end of this blog (I had to find a way to use the word blog), then you are key to Perpetual's success. I think what we are looking for . . . what is the new term? Viral marketing? We used to call it reaching the point of critical mass. For example, my brother bought a few books and handed them to members of a movie cast in Santa Fe, one recipient was Jeff Bridges, another the producer. Hey . . . you never know. So, which one of you has tea with Oprah? (I know, that is now old humor -- but really, if you do . . .).

P1 spans the era from 1950 to 1995, P2 from 1995 - 2003 and P3 should bring you up through present day events (or at least up to the point of editing which is about nine months prior to the publication date. Writing a series of novels that follow events is challenging and sometimes heartbreaking. As my mind and the characters spun from 1995 through the end of the decade, then the lackluster Y2K, and of course the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Sadly, it becomes crystal clear that our world is not the same place we all knew as children.

Speaking of Terror. Alert:  Hurry, Report Errors in P1, the First Edition

Some of you are the writer's opposite. You are avid readers and ardent editors (bless you). If you found an error, or any aggravating little nuances, please send me the page number and the error. We'll be sending in corrections to the publisher soon and the trade-paperback will be all the better. I have to tell you, Maria, along with a new vibrant character, Penelope, is incensed that there's even a single error especially after all the revisions and editing that go into bringing the story to you. Thankfully, Estebanez really doesn't care. He's found a new stash of wine and Cuban cigars, and Matthew is a bit busy dodging new villains to give it much thought.

Cool Website Interaction

After Perpetual P2 hits the book shelves (targeted for 2009), there will be password links that only readers can access, where you can read more dialogue. I call this added "wrap." Don't you hate finishing a novel and wondering about things? Or hearing the first part of a news report but never hearing the conclusion? Here, www.BrianHuey.com/Wrap the characters may wrap-up possible questions that might remain in the recesses of your mind, like what are the components of the CJ Energy Cell.  According to the Center for Energy Nanotechnology at Wake Forest University . . . CJ Energy is entirely possible!  That, my friends is new news: remember, Dr. Cameron Tremont Jackson, the Jules Verne of Energy, was sixty years before his time.  Stay tuned . . . .  Another question that readers send me is, What about Cracker Jack?  Well, what about him?

Finally, watch for a special announcement on November 1st, 2008.

That’s all for now, F&F (Family & Friends, not Frick & Frack – were they ice skaters?); http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frick_and_Frack ,

Matthew and Maria, CJ Energy Cells . . . Perpetual would be much less without you. 

Thank you again for jumping on the band-wagon, and I promise, Perpetual P2 will be worth the wait.

Warm Regards,
