• August 2008 - Dr. Pantazis is performing surgery on his manuscript, Pardon the Mess. The goal for the month is to finish the edit and start querying literary agents. In the meantime, Steve is working on a short story collection called Say My Name. It will contain around 20 pieces (5-10 pages per story). Each one is about a different main character, with that person's name being the central theme of the story.
  • Notice anything different? There's a Twitter feed at the bottom of this page. Now you can follow Steve's happenings in between blogs. Twitter is a free communication service that allows you to post a sentence or two (140-character limit) of what you're doing.

• June 2008 - Steve's finally titled his new novel, Pardon the Mess. By solidifying a title, he was able to put his marketing plan into motion. That included updating the content of the website and authoring solicitation materials (query letter, synopsis, et al.) in preparation of his search for a literary agent.
