Monday, November 21, 2016 was the last day to purchase a paperback copy of my first novel. In some small book stores online, through Amazon, you can still buy a copy if you’d like, but the price from those smaller stores has gone way up ($50 or more) cause of the rarity of them now. If you were lucky to buy a copy, any one of the 3 different mistake copies, those are collector items now. If you were lucky to get one signed, you’re one of my #1 fans of my works. Congratulations.
Come December 5, 2016 my contact with my publisher will end. I really can’t wait for that to happen. It can’t get here any sooner. I really hope a newer publisher will show better business practices and integrity than the other publisher did. This experience has been just that, loads of experience for what to look out for when things go wrong. At least it shows I can get published cause I love writing unique stories that come from my real life and imagination. Without writing, I’d be a shell of my former self, that’s for sure.
In other book news, the continuation to Soul’s Little Lie, the first draft, is done. I’ll be working on the third piece early next year. The third one won’t take long to hash out. I’ve made loads of notes and put them all in order. I’ll have to go through them again just to make sure everything is correct.
The fourth book, I’ve got the ending down. You know how some authors write the ending of the last book first so they know where the end goal is when they start the beginning? I’m kinda doing that, but not quite. I really can’t wait to get started on book 4 though. It will be so much more details and moving than the first three. Not to mention all the history, back story, culture, magic, etc that I have to put together. It will be a labor of love. This whole book series has been a labor of love since I was a kid. I can’t get enough of this and there is much more to cover.
