PAST: Two books published and a successful launch party for Paradise Dead. It got as high as #3 on Amazon's Kindle World HOT New Releases. During the launch party I sold copies my first Lei Crime novella, Paradise Down, plus copies of 7 Days of Seven and both Not a Whisper and Barely a Spark, the first two books in my Klondike Mystery Series.
PRESENT: After taking the weekend off to do a few things around the house, I will be attending a RAD Eclipse Party being sponsored by our favorite local microbrewer, Calf Killer Brewing. Starting Tuesday, I will be editing book three in my Klondike Mystery Series, Almost a Touch. It picks up during the same time frame as book two and then moves forward - but set in the Kalispell, MT area. My hope is to have the ebook version published by the end of September, not sure of the print version.
FUTURE: Once I get Almost a Touch published, I have to quickly move into the last of my Lei Crime KW novellas, completing the trilogy. It will be titled Paradise Drift. It will be much darker than the first two, concentrating on a current issue - human trafficking. I have a November 1st deadline for publication for the next big launch. Phew!
I suspect I will take December off, after doing all the marketing needed for Paradise Drift. 2018? Not sure. I still have my Lia Rules, PI Series on the backburner. I hope to keep those books shorter and thus be able to get them to market quickly. This is the cover for the first book - if I ever write it.
But then again, I might take the first three months of 2018 off. After all, I do have a two-week cruise to enjoy.
Well, here's to a busy fall season, hopefully, interspersed with some local sightseeing. Oh, and if you are in the SC/NC/TN/GA area, check out my new EVENTS tab. You might find something of interest scheduled for Oct 7th.
Glad you book launch has been so successful! That eclipse party sounds fun. The hubby & I are about to make a pinhole camera. We have viewing glasses, too, but the pinhole camera just sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteI love cruises. Where will you be cruising to?
We are doing a back-to-back out of Tampa, both are Western Caribbean, our favorite because hubby gets to scuba dive in almost all the ports. We've done this route 5-6 times (maybe more...lol). I write most of the time, sometimes read.
DeleteCongratulations on the book launch success Donna! Very well done! A month off for December sounds very well deserved.
