Thu, 17 May 2012 07:21:43 -0800WeeblySat, 05 May 2012 12:04:22 -0800http://www.rjhunekewrites.com/1/post/2012/05/capitol-book-goes.htmlThat's right, the Capitol book goes!  HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO!

The newest novel has crossed over the 40K word mark and soared on into exciting typeset-entrails woven, like a battlefield incision skillfully tying purple ropes to a sharp blade and slowly extending them for many fathoms. 

I guess what I'm trying to say is that writing at length - while keeping the characters, real, observant, engaging and deep - is very difficult, and is in many ways every bit as tedious as the sadist warrior ensuring that his enemy lives to see his body cross paths with his own intestines. For all of that horrific and arduous labor, however, there is the well deserved feeling of a remarkably well done job, whether the warrior's tool be a short sword, a typewriter, or a pen.

Persistence, regardless of entanglements, is key.

Persist, my friends.

Family and work have been on the front-lines and been priority, but I vow here and now to write you folks in on the happenings much more often on this very blog. I have not ceased to read/write/create voraciously, and there are a few very incredible projects in the works that will be announced on here very soon.

What I can say now is that the R.J. Huneke novel THE CAPITOL MOVEMENT is well underway with more than 150+ pages written and edited already; this dystopian thriller will act as a start to a new series, where the Rune Works published novel THE SUBLIMINAL RELIGION would fit in as a prequel to this innovative work. More info will be available on it soon. I promise!

Today's exciting news involves my acceptance to officially contribute to the reputable, interesting, and all-encompassing Fantasy Matters. They proudly project book reviews, film opinions, and even critical looks at the Fantasy art that projects across our beautiful universe! Here is a snippet from their introduction:

"As we've made very clear on this website, we here at Fantasy Matters are big fans of Stephen King's The Dark Tower series.  And so, needless to say, we are VERY excited about the release of another book in the series: The Wind through the Keyhole.  This book will be generally released on Tuesday, and we will celebrate this event with a review of the book from a new Fantasy Matters contributor: R.J. Huneke [link to the Impulsive Review].  It will be an exciting day indeed!"

Check out the entire Impulsive Review above and remember that Stephen King writes "there will be water when God wills it."

On a personal note, the sequel is already well underway, and I am greatly enjoying the process of creating in the dismal world that we left off with at the end of THE SUBLIMINAL RELIGION.

A graphic comic book - drawn by the talented and renowned artist Matt Helbig - is also beyond the infant stages, and it will be a mystery involving zombies, a great cast of human characters, and is heavily influenced by the TV innovation LOST among other things.

A children's series has also been started up between myself and Kurt Zisa; it will consist of many of the things I feel are lacking in quality kids' books: mystery, suspense, technology, robots, and a journey through Penn Station.

Lastly my published short story "Lucky" will be reprinted in the US by Abandoned Towers Magazine . . . stay posted for updates as the when and where!

Best,

Rarely do old time independent book stores offer up such glorious selections of myriad amounts of literature - at great prices - in such an aesthetically pleasing setting as The Book Revue in Huntington, NY. The town is also a personal favorite hangout of mine, as great food, art, culture, music, and books come together brilliantly there.

Anyone attending my reading from THE SUBLIMINAL RELIGION tonight can listen in to a carefully chosen selection, the Q/A session, and audience questions for free. Books will be available for purchase, and I will be signing as well.
