My first draft of COMPENDIUM is almost complete. I have over 90,000 words written. I will likely finish the first draft in the next couple of weeks, but I have taken a break to write up a book proposal for a new non-fiction book that I have conceived titled NAVIGATING THE BREACH: AN ENTERPRISE GUIDE TO PROTECTING YOUR COMPANY BEFORE AND AFTER A DATA SECURITY INCIDENT. This title is obviously not a novel. I don’t talk much on this blog about my day job, but I am an attorney that practices primarily in corporate law and data privacy law. I decided that it was time for me use my knowledge in data privacy law to reach a broad audience (besides just my clients) and provide them with practical, helpful information. I’m currently shopping my proposal to agents, but even if it does not sell to a publisher, I plan to bring the book to market myself. This topic is incredibly timely, and I believe the information is important to businesses of every size. If I could give this information away, I would, but it takes time and energy and dedication to build this knowledge and research and develop the content. It is very rewarding knowing that it could make a difference to people struggling with fear over whether they are doing enough to protect their user data. Anyway, that is my news de jour. If you want to learn more about this new book, you can visit its website, navigatingthebreach.com.
