Putting Myself Out There

H. Scott DaltonNo Comments

Since I can’t write about courage without occasionally mentioning something I’ve done:

I’ve entered my novel, A Square Foot of Calfskin, in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award contest. It’s a contest for unpublished or self-published books, and it might just help me get some eyes on my work.

Judging for the first round just started, so I won’t know anything until the 18th or so. If anyone is interested–and if I get that far–you’ll have a chance to read and provide feedback on an excerpt starting in April.

I’ll keep you posted!

I've been a soldier, a dreamer, a working stiff, a leader. A husband, father, example (good and otherwise), and now a survivor. I write about courage, because courage is what enables us to accomplish the impossible. If you draw breath, I love you. If you love in whatever way seems best to you and want others to love in whatever way seems best to them, I am your ally. If you believe someone is less than you because they do not love the way you do, I oppose you. If you see someone as a threat to be abused or destroyed merely because they do not look like you, or love like you, or worship like you, I am your enemy. I am a joyful and courageous man. And I stand with you who love.
