Stanley Finnigan now on Twitter

That's right, folks! Dan Cuoco (@StanleyFinnigan) is now on Twitter. Follow my tweets for quotes, news, and book two updates!

That's about all for now! Short and sweet, just like a tweet! One small sequel update: I'm about 2/3 through the rough draft! Yeah!

Book two update!

Now that Stanley Finnigan is done, it's back to typing! Well, not exclusively...I've been doing a lot of promotion for the first book. Denver area folks can look forward to book give-aways and signings at a Denver Outlaws game and potentially the Denver Museum of Nature and Science this summer (I hope, I hope...) Also, I'll be at the Baltimore Book Festival in September and I'm also applying to several other book festivals across the country!

Now, back to the sequel. I've been typing away this week and am officially halfway through book two. I can tell you that the working title is "The Neuroverse," but I'm keeping the narrator a secret for now. In fact, I might even keep the narrator a secret until you get your own copy...his/her name may not appear on the cover!

I'm half a chapter away from hitting the peak action...it's pretty intense! I hope you look forward to reading it.  For now, go check out Stanley Finnigan and the Race Around the Universe on amazon.com.  It's available in both Kindle and Paperback formats. You can get it here:

http://www.amazon.com/Stanley-Finnigan-Race-Around-Universe/dp/1475230672/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337209888&sr=8-1

Also, don't forget to follow Stanley on facebook, and review the book on amazon's site or at www.goodreads.com

So...if you've read Stanley, go ahead and review it on goodreads!

In other news, I'm still talking to agents and publishers to have Stanley published on a large scale. While I do that, I'm working on the sequel.  As I've hinted, it will be told from the perspective of a main character, but not Stanley. I'll release the working title soon!

A lot going on!

I haven't updated for a while...but there are a lot of updates!

I started my break at work yesterday, so I have the entire month of May off!  I plan on enjoying the Denver weather...mountain biking, hiking, camping, going to the park.  I'll be going home to CT for a few days to visit family and go to a friend's wedding as well!

I've taken some of the time off to take care of house chores...spring cleaning!

In Stanley news, the book is on amazon.com in paperback and is selling well! Have you bought a copy yet? A couple of very well-known authors will be reading and reviewing my book soon...so be on the look-out!

And, though not yet set in stone, Clinton Library in CT (where I'm originally from) will be displaying Stanley and including it on their recommended summer reading list! Other schools in the area are also taking a look at the book, and I might be doing a book signing or two while in CT...very exciting!

If you read the book, please feel free to submit a review to my email (at the top of this blog page) or directly on amazon.com

Finally, book two is well under way, and I plan on typing, typing, typing this summer!  My goal is to get a first draft finished by the end of the year.

That's all for now!

Dan
