Author Releases 3 Books in 100 Days
It's not enough for poet and author William F. DeVault to have been christened the "Romantic Poet of the Internet" in 1996, or to be considered one of the leading figures of the Digital Renaissance. Now he's releasing 3 new books in 100 days, including the first authorized in-print edition of his legendary "Panther Cycles".
(PRWEB) April 20, 2005 -- For this West Virginia-raised, maverick literary
figure, boundaries exist to be crossed, frontiers to be found, then conquered.
So now he's releasing three books in a 100-day span, capping that accomplishment
with the release of "The Compleat Panther Cycles" on July 18th, 2005, the 10th
anniversary of the writing of the first of these more than 600 poems that
narrate the highly dysfunctional, definitely romantic and erotic affair that
destroyed his first marriage.
Having this novel-length coffee-table book
at the end of the run should be sufficient, but he has kicked off this
publishing marathon with "INVOCATO" (ISBN#1-4116-2931-0), initially only
available through www.lulu.com
but available in a few weeks through all major bookstores, his long awaited
collection of his "greatest hits", his works that have achieved the greatest fan
and critical recognition. Jumping out his long-term relationship with POD giant
iUniverse, he has once again moved, as he did with the inception of his first
website nine years ago, to seek to democratize the creative process, an element
he considers essential to the flourishing of the digital
renaissance.
Then, in June of this year, he follows "INVOCATO" with "The
Morgantown Suite", a collection of works celebrating Morgantown, West Virginia,
where he came of age before leaving to seek his fortunes in the high tech
consulting arenas of Washington, DC, and the legendary arts community of Venice
Beach, California. The poet has signed away the royalties from this book to Arts
Monongahela, a local arts advocacy group.
So now he has an award-winning
website at www.cityoflegends.com as well as three new books coming out
(raising his total published volumes to eight, but still only a fraction of his
reputed catalog of over 10,000 poems), and a reputation as an international
literary figure, threatening to redefine his art and market with his guerilla
marketing and earnest works of passion and spirituality. What next?
"I
don't know," replies the poet, with a knowing smile, "but I'm ready for it and
excited to embrace it."
