Just a thought

I saw a picture that got me thinking about my Alliance series.

Maybe I'll work on it a bit.

I love that universe and Fiona wants to talk.

And that series bunny is like Thumper right now. So I may do a little work on it for appeasement.

If the bunnies for my Dragon and time-lost series don't attack me as well

Visit my Alliance blog if you want to see what I'm talking about.

Status on Resurgent

The book is being proofread. 

So it's still a few steps away from publishing.

Cover I made. Simple but attention grabbing I think.

I design my own covers and usually make them on Canvas.com. My publisher usually tightens them up for me.

So waiting game again.

I'm messing around with Emergent and The Dragon's Keeper right now while I wait.  But I'm not really working on them seriously. Marketing is on the agenda next

Amazon ads to be specific.

I'll talk about Emergent and about the ads next time.

So that's where I'm at right now.

Time tunnel

As you can see I changed the pic. I had been looking for something similar to a time tunnel and a Stargate mixed together. 

This is as close as I could find for free. Pixabay. Free pics commercial use.

Resurgent is still at the publisher's. Hasn't found a reader yet.

Did a little editing on Emergent.

I have both Emergent and Keeper open to work on. I slip from one to the other when I get writer's block, hoping to break it.

Sometimes it works.

I read my weekly writer's digest Monday post last Sunday.  It's on my author page on FB.  I'll look for next week's post this weekend.

I found some nice pictures for covers on Pixabay. I've been playing with Canvas.com making covers for the next books. It's the most enjoyable thing next to writing "the end" :)

So Emergent and the book after that have covers now. And I have pictures to choose from for more.

So this has been a very productive week.

Resurgent

So it's at the publisher's.

Next step is an editor/proofreader.

The cover as you can see is done.

The next book in this series is Emergent. I have the first few chapters started. The cover is done also.

But after Resurgent I'm doing another dragon book. Though I will be messing around with Emergent as well. I usually have two books open at the same time. However I usually don't finish them both at the same time.

Once Resurgent is published I will try to keep you up-to-date with sales and marketing. I'm going to try something different with my books this time.  Ads.

So stop by and see what happens.

Off to the publisher's

This weekend I sent the sci-fi book to publisher's. So it's on the next step, proofreading.

So the waiting game again.

Next to the actual writing waiting is the hardest part for me. I'm part of the now,now, now generation I guess. :)

Done at last, at last.

Well rewrote the beginning and end.

I think it flows better.

So I spell checked it. Didn't realize how many alien words I used until then. Names too.

That's done.

Now just got to read through one more time before sending it to publisher's.

Also need to fix cover for it. Add the subtitle. Enlarge print. The basic cover is done as you've seen but now the touchups.

And the blurb. Got to get a hook for it. Not sure yet what but I got a while before I publish.

So I'll celebrate tonight with pie and ice cream instead of just one or the other.

Well I'm done.

I finished the last chapter of my sci-fi but didn't like the ending so I'm redoing it.

So I guess I'm not really finished.

I'm redoing the beginning and the end. After that I'm editing and spell checking. Then sending it off to the publisher's.

I just don't like the beginning. Not enough of a hook. And the first sentence doesn't have any flair. Want to hook from the first.

As to the ending I think it needs a bit more.

I'll work it out.

The book should be ready to publish by the end of the month. So it should be out by July.  If not before.

My dad has got projects for me to do this summer. So that's why the rush on these books. And because I had planned to reveal them at the BTP Con.

I'll have to work on another book this winter for 2021 BTP Con.  Something to keep me busy during the cold days.
