Philip Luber describes the process of writing his novel-in-progress, Two Months of the Mouse
I am at work on a novel entitled Two Months of the Mouse. In this blog I will discuss aspects of that process.
Five of my previous novels have been published: one by Warner Books and four by Fawcett Books (a division of Random House). For information about those books, please go to my website by clicking here.
I try to reply to all e-mailed comments and questions. Please write to me at: mouse@philipluber.com.
The right column of the blog contains a list of all posts in their order of creation, first to last. In my opinion, navigating through that list is the best way for a new visitor to read this blog.
Clicking on the links below this paragraph will control what you see in the left column of the blog: all posts in reverse-chronological order (last to first), a brief overview of the story, or the first chapter of the book.
The idea for the working title of my book-in-progress, Two Months of the Mouse, sprang directly from the scene in Pray For Us Sinners that I included in my first blog post. That book was the third in a series of mystery novels. The first two books in that series were Forgive Us Our SinsandDeliver Us From Evil.
When it came time to title the fourth book in the series, I asked friends for help. I told them I was looking for a title that sounded vaguely Biblical, had four words, started with an imperative verb, and contained the word "us."
One friend suggested Give Us a Break. Another suggested Spare Us This Book.
