"Who Is Saint Giovanni?" Event

Have you heard the news?

If you haven't, are you ready for it?

Rane, one of my friends and co-bloggers over at The Lit Express, is hosting an epic event. She has decided to post one of her novels online.  

This is how it will work:

Beginning on April 11, 2011, she will post weekly installments of the novel on the "Who Is Saint Giovanni?" Blog. (A rough draft of Saint Giovanni is pictured to the left.) After a year, the entire novel will be posted online. That's right folks, she's going old school on this. Ever wondered how they read novels in Victorian England? This is it. Well, except the installments were posted in newspapers rather than blogs. But you get the point.

Every installment will include an illustration drawn by a fabulous artist who has agreed to collaborate with Rane.

Every installment will also be available in vlog and podcast format.

Rane is SUPER EXCITED about this guys, and so are all of us at The Lit Express, so I hope you'll join her. And wait! There's more! You can win stuff from this, as well! (See below.)

Okay, so are you sufficiently interested? Check out this link to read the summary. I hope you'll join us!
