The Legacy of Lost Things featured in the New York Times this Sunday, November 30th

The New York Times is going to feature my upcoming novel, The Legacy of Lost Things in this Sunday's paper. I can't be grateful enough to have such a wonderful team of people. Bleeding Heart Publications accepted my novel for publication in January 2014 and only several months later I was flown to Chicago by Hamazkayin to accept the Tololyan Literary Prize at their annual awards ceremony. 

Since that time BHP and I have worked on edits and I've become closely acquainted with my publicist Scott and his videographer Hugh, who both flew out to New York a few weeks ago to film me and then put together the video trailer for my novel. Between working with Scott, Hugh, as well as Holly and Eseel, who are also part of the promotions and marketing team, I'm elated for the release of my novel. 

My website is near completion of being completely re-designed, thanks to my good friend John. And the details of the launch party for Legacy are underway. 

In the words one of my most favorite writers, Truman Capote: "Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor." 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here is an update about my novel The Legacy of Lost Things that is slotted for release this July:
I had the honor of being awarded the Tololyan Prize Award and attended the ceremony two weeks ago in Chicago. Here is the press release that was published in the Armenian Weekly.

You can read more about my novel on Bleeding Heart's website.

I am anticipating the date of my book release party to be sometime in the early fall.

Upcoming works being published:

My short story "Saved" will be part of a themed anthology "Mother Knows Best" published by Infinite Acacia. 

My short story "The Art of Trying" will be published in an anthology about first-generation immigrant experiences. The date is still to be determined.

Per Contra literary journal accepted my piece "Afterlife", which will appear in their Fall 2014 issue.
