Greetings-
I have recently completed the first volume of my ‘novel’ project. I am a 56 year old male who has flirted with writing my entire life. It is only in the last several years that I’ve maintained enough vigilance and momentum to ‘complete’ the first volume of an imagined three volumes.
It is entitled—-
“Aztlánicon: Conspiracy of the Senses”
Even though the book will find it’s way into Lulu.com’s distribution network, at first the book will be available @

Even now, in the midst of h...

I commend your efforts to create something. As a reader, it's difficult to connect with this piece because all the characters are generic in presentation. How fascinating is a universe peopled by a man, an angel, a sleepiing wife and a daughter? We have no idea about who any of them are. Why should we care about any of them? Just my opinion. Good luck.
Lord knows that I'm no expert in what's publishable and what's not. I can only bring to this process what I relate to as a reader. It seems to me that the whole purpose of a prologue is to entice the reader into wanting to continue reading. That doesn't happen here. I'm not saying that it couldn't happen, it just doesn't happen in it's current form. As a reader, I could certainly see the last two sentences be used as the frist two sentences and then go from there. Perhaps I'm really saying yo...
You seem capable of writing, even though this particular piece doesn't really come across, at least to me. There is precious little in the way of characterization which results in there not being enough for the reader to grasp about who these people are.

Perhaps I'm too dimwitted, but this approach doesn't seem worth...
