What is this "Who Is Saint Giovanni?" thing all about?

8:27 PM | Posted by Rane Anderson
(This book will be available for everyone in the online community to read!)


The following is an excerpt taken from this newsletter. So for the full picture, please click on the previous link.

So you may be wondering—okay,  what’s this chick selling? I’m not selling anything. In fact, I want to give away something I have that is very precious to me. It’s not my kidney. It’s not my blood. And you may think I’m crazy for saying this, but it’s something just as important (to me) as both of those things. And this important “thing” happens to be the YA paranormal romance novel I’ve written: Who Is Saint Giovanni? It’s the whole purpose of this announcement. Now, remember, I mentioned that I’m not selling anything. And I’m not. But what I am looking for is some community involvement. You know, that old-fashioned “togetherness” people feel at 
church, temple, summer camp, and in the line-up at the Harry Potter movie premieres.

Allow me to tell you a little bit about myself.· I’m the author of 2 middle grade chapter books debuting at the end of 2011!
· The Lit Express is my blogging home.
· I have this CRAZY idea about posting one of my novels on my blog, Dickens style.
· Beginning April 11th, 2011 Who Is Saint Giovanni? will be posted in weekly installments on my blog.
· After a year, the whole book will be available online.
· A fabulous artist will be illustrating a new scene from the book for every single post!
· Each installment will also be available in podcast and Vlog format.
· I cordially invite you to join me on my epic blogging adventure.

Giovanni...ooo la la

Hello friends and bloggers! I've decided to be pretty open about the process leading up the WHO IS SAINT GIOVANNI? event. I'm calling it an EPIC event because I can't believe I'm actually going to be posting my book online in weekly installments! I'm excited!  <<grinning>> My best friend, Jason, thought I should be making some of my writing open source for years, and now I'm finally doing it. Read more about the event in this newsletter.

I want to share with you something special. <<look to your left for a tiny preview>> That's Giovanini! And that's very close to how I pictured him as I wrote the book.  Ashley Stewart is the fabulous artist I'm collaborating with on this project. I can't wait to see my characters come alive through her artwork. (Ashley says that the drawing is a rough draft, and I think it looks so awesome already!!)
