When things really get going, they get going.
All three editions of Pariah are now available for order; you can find them on Amazon as well as most major retailers (save for the Kindle edition). I can’t believe I’ve got three books out there now – what an amazing year of writing it has been!
The publication date shift messed up my countdown plans, so instead, I’m going to tease a little bit about Vasily for the next few days leading up to the original release date. So, in no particular, here are eleven interesting tidbits about my newest leading character:
1. Vasily is an Olympian
According to his biography, Vasily swam for the United States at the 2008 Olympics, scoring a silver medal in the 400 Butterfly and helping take home a gold in the 4×100 relay. In an unusual twist, though, he swam the Freestyle leg of the relay as his best friend, Sean Colbeth, out-touched him during their final practice to score the Fly leg.
Vasily continues to train as though he were headed to the next Olympics, though now that he’s over thirty, the odds are not in his favor; still, he finds an amazing peace going through the routine he’s had since the age of six, logging an unthinkable number of laps each and every day.
