Follow on Google News | Just Who is this Girma Dali?Football Star Girma Dali is on the quest of his life to find his childhood friend who may have been captured by guerrilla soldiers. Girma Dali won't rest until he finds him even if he has to make his nation sweat out his own disappearance.
By: John Gorman Two weeks ago it hit him to write something in honor of the World Cup. He couldn't punch fast enough into his keys to get the idea rolling in time and has decided to turn this into a serialized novel. Each day of the World Cup, a new section will be released. He has set up a new blog on Wordpress. The story can be followed at http://girmadali.wordpress.com/ This is an exciting new work. Gorman has also posed the unique offer to football fans and readers everywhere to engage him with chapter and character suggestions. he has no problem slipping them into his novel. As far as he is concerned, this is a totally organic process. He promises to use most of the suggestions. "The way I see it, this can be a fun way to play with our idea of novel. It's a very novel way of looking at a novel, in a collective sense," Gorman said. "This of it like a bunch of folks hammering up wood slabs for a Habitat for Humanity project." Because there is such a long gap in the publishing process Gorman has decided to go the modern route and let the story be read off the web. He hasn't really decided if he wants to put it into a traditional hardback or paperback. "Actually, somebody overheard me mentioning Girma Dali, at the Bowery Hotel," Gorman said. "They said they were an agent and would look to check it out. I gave them the URL. No harm it that." # # # Writer of novels and short stories.
