Dear Friend,
As a writer, I find that occasionally stories bubble up inside my brain that I have to liberate by writing them down.
Such was the case back in the 1970s with "Cedarhurst Alley," "The Fingered City" and "The Stork"--all of which were published in hardcover and later, as mass-market paperbacks.
Recently "COLDCOCKED: A Novel of 7 Murders, the Media and the Law," rumbled into my consciousness and I worked on it on and off over the past few years. It is now finished, and I have no idea whether it is any good or just plain lousy.
My wonderful agent, Marvin Moss died a long time ago, so I am sans agent and after 30 years I have no contacts in the world of book publishing any more.
With 200,000 new book titles being published every year (roughly 555 a day!), finding an agent and publisher is a monumental task.
If "COLDCOCKED" is good--really good--I will go through the hassle. If lousy, then the hell with it; I will have gotten it out of my system I can get on with my life.
Frankly, I'd very much appreciate your opinion.
If you will click on the link below, I will send you the new novel in a PDF format, and ask only that you get back to me with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down.
Hopefully, it's a thumbs-down. I really don't want to go through with this.
Thanks so much for your help.
Sincerely,
Denny Hatch
