April 2021 Update

It’s been a busy month! I finally revealed On the Winds of Quasars, so now I can stop calling it “book 2” which is great. Earlier in April I finished my post-beta edit of On the Winds of Quasars. It’s currently in the hands of Dylan Garity, who is returning in an expanded role from his previous editing of In the Orbit of Sirens. I love working with Dylan, and I look… Read More

A Dream Realized

After five years of outlining, writing, editing, and working away, I am finally able to hold my debut novel in my hands. I received my soft cover proof copy from Ingramspark last Friday, still waiting on the hardcover but it shouldn’t be too far off. It was incredible to see it, there really isn’t any feeling like it. The thing is REAL now, a physical thing I can hold in my hands…. Read More

BOOK 2 First Edit has begun!

While I anxiously await the delivery of my author proof copies of IN THE ORBIT OF SIRENS (available October 4th 2020), I have begun my first edit on its sequel. Now that I am more familiar with the process, I intend to get this edit completed and sent to beta readers much sooner than I did with book 1. With IN THE ORBIT OF SIRENS, I completed about 4 or 5 edits… Read More

BOOK 2 FIRST DRAFT COMPLETE!

A little tease of the potential title too (I’m feeling pretty good about it, I just haven’t officially released it yet!) Last night I completed the first draft of the sequel novel to IN THE ORBIT OF SIRENS. I’m really pleased with the way things went, and I intend to add another 10k words when I do my first round edit before sending to beta readers. With Book 1 eyeing publication in… Read More

Changed: T. A. Bruno instead of Tom Bruno Author

So you may have noticed a branding change in my pen name, there’s a good reason for that! I officially made the switch from using my real name, Tom Bruno to using T. A. Bruno today. There are already two other authors named Tom/Thomas/Tom A./Thomas A. Bruno etc, one who wrote a religious novel, and another who writes short story science fiction. Although my novel probably would have stood out, I decided… Read More

WHAT I’VE LEARNED: POST FIRST DRAFT

Previously, I’ve covered what I’ve learned about pre-planning and writing the first draft of a novel. In this post I hope to cover some of what I learned about the post-first-draft days, including preliminary editing and beta readers. As I said before, in your first draft you can allow yourself to be imperfect, because now you’re going to make it better. First draft in the bag, maybe you want to take a… Read More
