BLOGS

Blog or Article?

Blogs often focus on personal opinion, experiences, views, anecdotes or advice. Blogs tend to have a relaxed and conversational feel, such as in storytelling and are generally 300-500 words.

Articles aim to deliver well-researched, informative content with solid evidence to back up the points made.  Articles are usually more formal, organized and frequently range 500-1000 words.

Wow, it finally happened. I received something from a book that wasn't a rejection letter! After reading my book proposal, Marcher Press has requested to see the manuscript for my novel, 'The Mysterious Calling of Mike Malone.' Mike is the little guy in my avatar, BTW. An artist friend read the novel then decided I needed a picture, so EJ Mickels II, comic book artist and ace Christian biker drew one up.So I'm going to be spending the night making sure Mike is properly tweaked and nothing left out and I will zap him over to Marcher in the morning. Pray they take him.Here's the cover letter that got me in the door...(Editors name)-What if your father's dream was for you to become the Antichrist? Or what if your father was a fallen angel?How about if you were a Christian?In my novel, THE MYSTERIOUS CALLING OF MIKE MALONE, Mike discovers that his father has been trying to mold him into a Prince of Hell, but he chooses to become a guardian of humanity instead.Dad is not happy. His father, the fallen angel, Ahiel, kidnaps Mike’s fiancé in an attempt to force his son into doing his will. In the process of saving her, Mike becomes the man God called him to be.The manuscript is complete at 70,168 words and is available upon request. This is in the fantasy genre. It will appeal to readers of the Harry Potter books and the Eragon novel. The reading level runs between 5th and 6th grade.I have written a number of short stories. My latest story, Bless the Children, recently appeared in Alien Skin Magazine. A flash-fiction piece I wrote titled, On Rejection, was picked up by Perpetual Magazine, along with another work titled, Pensacola Harbor, Circa 1962. School of the Exorcists, ran in Teenage Magazine’s 2007 summer edition. Another story of mine, Ellie, appears in INFUZE Magazine's Best of 2005 Anthology. INFUZE also published a tale of mine called, Sound Bite from the End of the World, a poem called Soul Mate, and one interview I did with video game developer Patrick Fry. I am currently turning School of the Exorcists into a full length novel.Thank you for your time.Sincerely,M.L. ArcherWell, hope it works.
