11 Strangers Meet in a Bar

And Share an Adventure They'll Never Forget

Last week I introduced you to my new book, which is yet to be named. Soon, I’ll share how you can help name the book, pick the cover, and have your name in the book.

One of the fun parts of writing fiction is how I’ve falled in love with my characters. All of these folks are fictional, but they feel very real to me. You’ll meet them in the book, one character at a time. And as they interact and become engaged in the Kindle relay, you’ll see them appear and move across Europe on a map.

So let’s meet two of the characters.

Meet Kelly. She’s been living out of a carry-on for six years and she just made a very expensive mistake. She’s left behind her Kindle which contains notes, screenshots and quotes that fuel her next book and her social media accounts. Her wing-it attitude annoys her husband Scott, and her ability to find e-tickets in disorganized email folders fascinates even her.

Meet Marcus. He’s been writing limericks since his wedding day. He’s never read one to anyone who didn’t roll her eyes, and he’s headed to Ireland to compete in the International Limerick Contest. His odd are long, so thinks his wife, Leenie.

Here is the character map. You can see the icons associated with each characters, which you’ll see on the map that tracks the Kindle as it makes its way through the relay.

What do you think? Which character do you think you’ll identify with? Which will become your favorite? Are the icons helpful to get to know the characters? Let’s take a poll.

And here’s the map. The Kindle starts in Bucharest. Where will it go next?

Next week, you’ll finally learn how you can read the book, help name it, give input into the cover, and actually have your name in the book. Subscribe so you don’t miss it.

P.S. Starting soon, the Chapters will release on Tuesdays and Thursdays. In addition, I’ll still be sending out my weekly Wednesday email.
