In the Orbit of Sirens is selling well and reviews are positive! So what now? First, I want to mention that I’m preparing a little free “thank you gift” for people who send in either a receipt of their purchase of In the Orbit of Sirens or a photo of their copy of the book. I’ll provide more details on that soon. š Second, book 2 is ready for beta readers. If… Read More

Reserve your physical edition copy today! Available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Many More! Amazon doesn’t allow pre orders from aggregate sites (I am publishing the ebook edition through Draft2Digital.com) so sadly the kindle edition isn’t available for preorder just yet. The NOOK and APPLE editions are though. An audible.com edition is being planned, hopefully releasing a few months after the initial launch. I will post more information about the audiobook… Read More

Today I reached out to my “street team” to get some advance review copies out into the world. I was overjoyed with the positive response. I have always been thankful for the immense support I’ve received from my friends and family. I hope they enjoy the adventure I crafted, and I look forward to hearing what they think of IN THE ORBIT OF SIRENS. ARC readers have access to the full novel,… Read More

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

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

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

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

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
