CONTAGIOUS first draft done

Posted July 11th, 2008 by scottsigler

Yes, it's true, today I shipped off the first draft of CONTAGIOUS to Crown. "The Shiv," my editor, is sharpening his knives as we speak. This was a huge step in getting the book to stores on the projected December 30 date. Now The Shiv and I go to work tearing that manuscript to pieces and gluing it back together again. Hopefully it comes out a little better than Michael Jackson's face, which followed a similar process.

This means Episode #30 of NOCTURNAL will be out soon. I have to step away from CONTAGIOUS for a little bit, just to clear the head and see what hath Pope Siglericus XXX wraught with fresh eyes.

I really, really, really appreciate everyone's patience (and complete lack thereof as well) for NOCTURNAL 29, 30, 31 & 32. I will be working my Evil Heiny™ off to make it worth your while.

Right here!

Best Seller List?

Well, I wonder how the NYT Best Seller List will handle a repeat performance. No, wait... I think this one will sell better than the last; sales of the first book will jump up again as people realize that they've missed something, and the NYT will have to add the Sigler Factor into its calculus for how it determines who makes the list. Yeahhhhhhhhh.

How dare you compare your work to Mr. Potato Head Jackson!  There is no way for Contagious to turn out that bad.

Dear Mr Sigler, I remember from your last podcast that you said there were issues and family pet problems which were preventing you from posting episodes every week. I can't speak for anyone else, but I am sure that the vast majority of your listeners, like myself, are concerned that nothing really bad has happened. I, for one, am truly appreciative of the FREE audio books that I can download from you. I eagerly await your excellent stories. I am also quite happy to wait patiently for the next episode, whenever it may arrive (besides... it's not as though I can ask for my money back or anything is it?). I may get anxious and keen to hear the next episode, but that's only natural, considering the quality of your work. Take pride in the fact that your work is highly sought after! I hate to see people ragging on you just because they haven't got their FREE episode on time. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was funny for a while to see someone out there who would not only take (good natured) abuse, but give it right back to their fans! But there is a limit... especially when there are personal issues involved. So, please accept my thanks and appreciation for all the efforts that you can make. :-) Russ in New Zealand (6,000 miles South East of San Francisco).

HELL YEA

CONTAGIOUS to Crown, new NOCTURNAL, it's all good.  And I always thought it was "patience" for waiting calmly, and "patients" as the plural of sick person, but if that is the way the FDO rolls - so be it!

You must have been working if you've managed to trademark evil heiney. Now all that's left is evil butt, evil ass, and evil toosh. None of which have quite the marketing potential as evil heiney. And...remember when Michael Jackson was normal and not like Mr. Potato Head?

My last gf dubbed me "Evil Ass""

Big congratulations for the first draft of Contagious. Catching up on classic Sigler (most recently finished listening to The Rookie) has provided my fix, but I'm totally ready for some more Nocturnal action. Keep the hits coming.

Amazing
