About Gary’s Blog

As of February, 2012 and for at least the next three months, I decided to focus this blog on:

  1. Progress on my newest novel, Gabriel’s Covenant. I finished the manuscript in January and decided to enter the book into Amazon’s 2012 Breathrough Novel Awards contest for independent authors under the category of adult fiction.
  2. Boomerangs.  Topics for BOOMERS heading into their final passage, as Gail Sheehy, would have called it. Fun, sad, personal and  spiritually oriented commentary about the ripening boom generation. I WON’T BE BORING.

NEW BOOK … Gabriel’s Covenant.

I’m getting closer! An edited version of my manuscript was submitted to Amazon’s 2012 Breakthrough Novel Award Contest during the last week in January. I’m working on the cover design and hope to have the book ready for launch in mid-March.  If you have time, you can track my progress and post comments on my blog at http://www.garywatsonbooks.com/blog/ (and hopefully be rewarded with a few laughs for doing so).

The book is about five days in the life of Joshua Braxton, a father and storyteller. I promise his story and this book will lead you to corners in your mind where personal responsibility pushes traditional ethics to the limit. Set in the fictious town of Gabriel’s Crossing, Oregon (the first state to pass a Death with Dignity Act, Measure 16, in 1994) the story is based partly on fact, and spun by a man living in a vortex where love, age, and wisdom converge.
