Tomorrow’s News Today … is Out Today

October 19, 2016 by Jeff Haws Leave a Comment

Yes, the rumors are true. I’ve got a second book out on the Amazon stage. It’s been a different journey on this one than with the first. I knew a bit more about the publishing game this time around. I knew a bit more about my own writing, and how to get this whole thing to work. I’m still trying different things, and I’m a long way from having any secret formula, but I’m hoping I’ll keep learning as I go.

This one’s called “Tomorrow’s News Today,” and it’s hugely influenced by the hours upon hours of Hitchcock and Twilight Zone I’ve spent watching over the past 30+ years. [Read more…] about Tomorrow’s News Today … is Out Today

Speaking at A Novel Idea in Canton

October 11, 2016 by Jeff Haws Leave a Comment

For those of you who missed me at the Decatur Book Festival, you’ve got another chance to catch my book-readin’ self out in the wild very soon. Next week, I’ll be reading an excerpt from “Killing the Immortals” at the Snug Gastro Pub in Canton for the “A Novel Idea” event on Wednesday, Oct. 19.

The theme for the event is “scary stories,” and I’ll be joined by other local authors Lee Gimenez, Alex Hughes, Lynn Hesse, Frank Reddy, and Marsha Cornelius. I won’t be able to get up there until 7:30 or so, and I’ll probably be speaking around 8. I’ll bring some bookmarks, and I’ll probably read Chapter 1 because I think it’s a great introduction to the book. [Read more…] about Speaking at A Novel Idea in Canton

Cover Reveal and Other Updates

Welcome to the new jeffhaws.com! Hope you’re liking what you see so far. It’s a pretty big change from the old site, for those of you who enjoyed wandering around there. This layout should give you a much better visual experience than the previous one, and this site should also be more secure. Gone is the “Just Write Somehow” header (which I thought was more to the point when I was working toward getting a book out than it is now that I have one … and will soon have another), and the focus is more on my published work.
