We were warned. 2012 is in sight. And mesothelioma will never be the same again.
After a brief but furious sprint of pounding out words that seemed to come from the heavens, followed by a virtual eternity of painstaking proofreading and editing, my first novel is now available on Amazon.com.
Named after the town that holds the key to the 2012 mystery, the novel is called Mesothelioma Lawyers, New York: The Truth About 2012. It can loosely be described as a cross between The Da Vinci Code, 24, and Wayne’s World.
To make things interesting, I’d like to offer a prize to the first person to find and decipher the Easter eggs. An “Easter egg” in a book, movie, game, etc. is a hidden message, inside joke, or feature. For example, a hidden track on a CD, or a flight simulator hidden in a spreadsheet application.
The prize will be one of the books that I’d like to recycle (mailed anywhere in the world). I’m not exactly sure what they are, but at a minimum, your choices will include:
- Personal Development for Smart People by Steve Pavlina
- Achieve Anything in Just One Year by Jason Harvey
- The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson
Some hints for you:
- There are 5 Easter eggs, and they all follow the same pattern.
- While the novel is filled with inside jokes, the ones meant as Easter eggs will be self-evident, at least in my opinion.
- If not, the fact that there are exactly five, all fitting the same pattern, will leave no doubt as to whether you have found them.
- You have to not just find them, but explain their significance.
If you figure them out, send me an email listing the five Easter eggs and their significance (don’t ruin it for others by revealing them in a comment). If you’re right, then you get to pick a book. I’ll update this post to indicate when the contest is over.
Boy, it feels great to finally get this book out there! Thanks for giving me an audience to write for. Retweets and reviews on Amazon or your blog are greatly appreciated.

@ Ian, I guess you know that feeling, having written two books yourself. Yup, there’s nothing like it.

Really looking forward to reading it! I love to read novels (usually read one per week) and had always dreamed of writing one, but wow – you – DID – it. Congrats!

@ cb, if you can dream it, you can do it. NaNoWriMo is coming up again this November, if you want some built-in accountability. Since you read one novel per week, you’ve surely soaked up plenty of writing tips that you can use yourself!
