Around a year ago, on a writing website for the published-challenged, I came across a novel excerpt, The Daguerreotypist<\/em> by Eric Lowe.\u00a0 While I’d read a lot of fiction on the site that I thought was publishable, some very good, The Daguerreotypis<\/em>t, struck me as being the most likely to hit big. The hook was terrific and original — a dangerous immortal who wasn’t exactly a vampire is sought out by a lapsed-Mormon call girl seeking immortality who has\u00a0 a clever scheme for contacting the undead. The voice was quirky and unique, the pace quick and there were no excess adverbs or other annoying habits to slow a reader down.<\/p>\n

The novel and Eric disappeared from the site as quickly as they had arrived. For all I know, Eric decided that someone might steal his brilliant concept, or maybe an agent or publisher had seen it and snatched him up.<\/p>\n

I keep waiting to read a review or see a copy in a bookstore. I can’t get the book out of my mind and want to read past the eight chapters I saw so long ago.<\/p>\n

I’m hoping Eric will one day search for himself or his title on google and maybe come across this.<\/p>\n

Eric, if you’re out there, I’m harmless, not a stalker and unfortunately not someone who can help you get an agent or find a publisher, but I’d love to read the rest of your story.<\/p>\n

Don’t be shy.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, if anyone wants to comment on a book-in-progress or excerpt, they once got a peek at that then seemed to disappear forever, feel free to drop a line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
