My Newest Novel: The Fate of a Bullet

For a few months now I have been working on converting a short story idea into a full length novel.  Just a couple of weeks ago, I finally came up with a name: BullettBob: The Fate of a Bullet.  Everyone says you can't put two "bullets" in the title so that may have to change.

The story just passed over 52,000 words yesterday and I am still very happy with it. 

This story is truly captivating.  It's an introspective action/adventure starring none other than ME!!! My personality and experiences(enhanced greatly!).  Yes, I have other people read it so that I do get a more objective view of how the story is going.

It's the story of a Border Patrol Agent who is thrown into a new career as an FBI Agent.  Bob is a social misfit yet has the perserverance to not give up.  He is assigned to the Los Angeles office in his third year.  Bob is trying to shine so on his own time, and barely approved, he is working on getting associated with an outlaw motorcycle gang. Mainly by hanging out at a bar often frequented by members of the OMG. 

The story turns exciting quickly with twists and turns that I DON'T even expect.  AS I am writing this story, it just seems to jump out onto the paper.  Someone asked if I use an outline and honestly I seldom do.  I will mull over the story while I am not working on it and then it will hit me how the next scene will play out.  It's truly, truly, truly exciting even for me to watch the characters develop; to watch the action occur and to watch the romance develop!!

I love this story and hope that I can finish it by fall....

Bob
