First draft of First Novel sent for editing.

Alright, I had an idea for a story one day while watching people wandering through the streets. They were all immersed in their cellphones, texting, browsing and living their lives within their devices. As technology becomes more advanced and people become more connected, where will this take us?

Here's the description of the first part of a series entitled: The Connected

The Connected: Origin of the Sleepers

Forced to connect to the global neuralnet through a high tech implant, a group of isolated rebels struggle against the government legislation. They create a computer virus to maintain their anonymity but it backfires, infecting over half the world population and turning them into primitive drones – the Sleepers. Decades after the initial infection, four young adults, descendants of the rebels, passionately continue the frenzied hunt for the antivirus. They discover that the designer of the virus also holds the key to the antivirus, but refuses to relinquish the code. He becomes the self-appointed leader of the Sleepers, manipulating them via the neuralnet. The Sleepers become his own personal army. After he abducts three of the group members, the lone member Jessica, escapes to her small village and recruits her own soldiers in preparation for the impending conflict.

While the editing and proofing work is still in progress, I've started the first draft of the next book in the series, entitled: Sleeper Conflict. I'm still putting together the frame of the novel, determining my plot and such. I started the first book on March 4th, 2012. Right now it is pretty small, about 73,000 words. I've been going through and removing parts and I think that I need more character development. It could be awhile before I format it for self-publishing. 

I'm trying to do as much of the self-publishing as possible. Although I've gone through and done an edit myself, I prefer to have experienced eyes help with this stage. I absolutely do not want to put out a badly written, poorly told story.

As far as self-publishing goes, I've decided to see what will happen for a new author entering the literature world through Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing. 

To be honest, I'll be happy if I can sell one eBook a month.
