Author Update
I haven’t done much this week aside from write, clean house, and play with my kitties.
I’ve ordered a few items for Shore Haven’s Release Party. They should be in next week. I also order some Shore Haven Rack cards that I’ll include with gifts. They came in today. They look awesome aside from the fact that the font or something makes some of the words run together, but I’m all right with that...I have to be, right. They are already here. LOL!
My editor is still working on Leaving Liberty. I don’t know if it’ll be out by the time Shore Haven is, but that’s all right. All of the short stories should work well on their own, but as with any story set in a novel’s world, it’s always a good idea to have read the novel beforehand. Once she finishes, Leaving Liberty, I’ll send her Hostage. I’ve nearly finished a third short story set in that world, so she’ll most likely get it after Hostage, even though, Sweet Sixteen, an Awake short story is nearly ready for editing. Since Awake won’t go to editing until March or so and probably won’t be out until the end of the year, Sweet Sixteen can wait a bit.
Speaking of Awake, I’m about halfway through my last read-through, so I’m still on schedule with that novel. I’ll probably take on a second editor this year to help me stay caught up on it all. Thanks to Melanie Smith, I already have someone in mind.
I think I mentioned this last week, but I’ve also started working on Fated again. I’m taking my time with it, as Shore Haven, Awake, and their short stories take priority at the moment.
One last thing before I go. In case you didn’t know, I’m doing a pre-release party giveaway over on my Alone FB page. I’m giving away an advanced eCopy of Shore Haven and a zombie-themed necklace. You should hope over and check it out.
