There have been many books written about the Beatles, covering everything from their history to their influences, their gear, their recording sessions or the impact they had on the sixties and beyond.

But what about a historical novel that tells the complete history of the famous band? How about a novel that goes inside their heads and shows us how they interacted with each other, how they viewed their relationships, how they reacted to the many events that occurred throughout their brilliant careers?

This is what I have written—the first in a series of books that would cover their entire history. Accurate like a biography but written as a novel, in which John, Paul, George, Ringo, and many others are characters that speak, think and react to the situations in which they evolve .

This first book is called The Beatles: Some Kind of Innocence. It begins on the day in 1957 when John Lennon and Paul McCartney meet for the very first time and ends in December of 1960, when the group comes back from their first trip to Hamburg, where they met and played with Ringo for the first time. We witness the ups and down of their beginnings, experiencing the emotions that they experienced as they tried to make it as a rock and roll band in Liverpool.

Out in the world

I have sent my project to 11 literary agents today.

It might not seem like a lot, but it is. Every agencies have their own specifications and requests so I had to customize what I was sending for each and everyone. It took me five hours to send all eleven!

I will keep on going tomorrow morning (that is around 11am for me... ;) ), I'm onto agencies starting with the letter H.

I've also put aside names of agencies that only take mail submissions. Those I will do at the end, since it requires printed copies, envelopes and stamps...

It is a weird feeling, submiting my novel to all those agencies. Depending on the tone of their websites, I was either full of hope or completely depressed. Some websites are so hostile, it's even a little scary! Most of them ask for patience, around 4 to 8 weeks for a reply.

So now I wait...
