The Sweetest Downfall

Good morning! Once a month, I intend to promote my self-published stories, mostly for the sake of new readers who might not know that you can support me by purchasing any one of my novels! :)

I offer a lot of free reads and if you'd like to help out a small-business owner by purchasing one of my novels that would be fantastic!

Right now, I have two available for you with a third due to come out later this year. Excitement!

The Seeker: Someone has taken the children, the only progeny of a widowed Queen. All efforts from the most skilled hunters and knights have proved fruitless. There is but one option left. The Seeker takes up her sword once more and nothing will stand in her way.

The Finer Points of Thievery: A chance encounter leads to something Sleet never expected: a friendship with the most well-known thief in the country.

Only The Seeker is available in print and the kindle. The Finer Points of Thievery is available in pdf only though I am working on getting it onto the Kindle marketplace. Thanks for checking them out!

March already. 2014 sure is flying by.

What's on tap for this month? 

Ensuring The Seeker is ready for her April 1st publication date first and foremost. I've lined up a cover artist, so all that's left on my end is the blurb polishing, final grammar editing, and final document formatting. Wahoo! Research on where I can market will also begin next.

Second on the list is to begin prepping Monster for publication. First, I have to do a re-read and basic editing, also marking if there's any place I feel needs expansion or details. I'll send out the call and find someone who wants to editor-read it for the same. Then I need to find a cover-artist. After that, it's more editing, polishing, etc. Luckily, Monster is in a bit better shape than The Seeker was so I only need to shine it up like the diamond it is.

When I need to fulfill the urge to write rather than edit, I'm going to browse through Break of Day Part II or my redrafting of Shady Hill.

Plenty of stuff to work on. I'm never bored. I don't understand how people can be bored, lol.

Questions, comments, concerns? Feel free to ask!

Good afternoon!

Starting a new, second job and getting sick twice meant my January goals fell a little by the wayside, but I shall persevere.

The Seeker first round of editing has gone through well. I've received all the feedback I was supposed to get so now I've got to do the second drafts. I may have a cover artist lined up so huzzah!

In the meantime, goals for February are to work on some fanfiction I need to finish, but original fic wise, I want to focus on The Seeker edits and formatting, and preparation.

When I need to write, I'll work on East of Eden and plotting Quisling, which is the next part of WOTA.

Busy times ahead. I promise to keep updating as I go. :)

I got to pondering today, as I struggled to stay awake after a long day of work, and I started thinking about my original fiction.

Why?

Because so many of them fit neatly into the same worlds, especially those that you might not expect.

So I thought I'd share these connections with everyone. I thought someone might be curious.
