Worlds Between submitted
This morning I put on my Ernest Hemingway T-shirt that one of my daughters gave me a few years back, I read the last chapter of Worlds Between one more time, made two changes, and just submitted it to my publisher, Light Messages.
I thought it was done a week or so ago, when I shared the first chapter of the book here with you, but then I read it again and understood it needed a new final chapter, one that completes this book and sets up some key plot points in the third.
I wore my Hemingway T-shirt eleven months ago when I sent the publisher my first novel, The 53rd Parallel. I have had a life long interest in Hemingway. He wrote short stories about his time fishing in Michigan, and though not identified as such there are Ojibway in a couple of his stories; he fished the White River in Arkansas where I guided for a couple of seasons; he was born on July 21st, 1899 and I was born on the same date 52 years later; he loved Huckleberry Finn; he was a hell of a writer.
And his son, Patrick, the renowned African safari guide, was a regular guest at the Canadian fishing camp where I worked.
Light Messages is planning on publishing Worlds Between in the Spring of 2015.
And I want to thank my eldest daughter, Sarah Rose Nordgren, for the title.
