It just hit me, I haven’t posted here in a while. Time has a way of sneaking past, doesn’t it?
If you’re already subscribed to my newsletter, you’re pretty much caught up on everything I’ve been working on (and thank you for that!). But if you’ve somehow found your way here without being on the newsletter… you’re missing out a bit. I’d definitely recommend joining, it’s where I share the most updates, behind-the-scenes progress, and the occasional extra.
Plus, when you sign up, you’ll get a free story as a welcome gift.
Now, onto what I’ve been up to…
Since November—wow, really, November?—I’ve finished the first draft of my next book. That alone feels huge. Since then, I’ve been deep in editing mode. It’s moving a little slower than I’d like (isn’t that always the case?), but the story is so much stronger because of it. Every pass makes it sharper, tighter, and more exciting.
Alongside that, I’ve been putting more energy into my monthly newsletter and working on reaching new readers. If you know anyone who loves action-adventure heists with a steampunk twist, feel free to send them my way—or better yet, share that free story link with them.
I’ve also been having a lot of fun on the visual side of things. Recently, I created a “Meet the Crew” series graphics (sample above) that introduce characters and give a bit more flavor to the world. If you’re curious, you can check them out over on my Facebook or Instagram pages. It’s been a really enjoyable way to bring the story to life beyond the page.
There are still quite a few steps between now and getting book two out into the world, but I’m loving the process. And as we get closer to release, I’ll be doing a full cover reveal—which I can’t wait to share.
One last thing—I still have a few spots open on my Advance Reader Team…
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE ON THE LAUNCH TEAM?
YOUR PARTICIPATION IS SIMPLE:
- You must sign up to be on the launch team – I am only accepting 25 team members at this time.
- When it is ready, I will send you a link to the Advance Reader Copy (ARC) of the book in an .epub file.
- Take time to read at least a chapter or two of the book, but preferably the whole thing.
- Write a brief review (One or two paragraphs would be great!) Save this review for later submission.
- On launch day you will purchase the Kindle version of the book. It will be priced at ($7.99)
- Post your review. Amazon is more likely to accept your review if you are a verified purchaser.
- Share the Amazon link on launch day, along with a snippet of your review (or the whole thing if you prefer!) Tell your friends, co-workers, family and social media following about this wonderful book. I’ll provide some graphics you can use in advance as well.
If you are interested in joining the launch team, all you need to do right now is sign up – it will be a few months before the book is ready, but this way you’re on the list!
