Author Updates

Author Update – October 2017

I'm back to my writing normal this month, especially compared to last month which was quiet for me. Lot of updates to give everyone!

WRITING NEWS

I have just wrapped up Delicious Zeal, Book 3 of the Moderation Online series. The series is done and now available for sale. Check out the covers below:

In other news, I am participating in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) this year, mainly for my podcast listeners to follow along to see how I write a novel in one month with limited time & resources. Follow me here.

Finally, the novel I am writing during NaNoWriMo will be an urban fantasy centered on dreams & phobias, and a heroine who can control others' dreams. The cover will be done by next month's update, so I will be posting it then.

PODCAST NEWS

Special show this month! Jay & I recorded an episode for the Indie Author Fringe at the Frankfurt Book Fair called How to Be A Part-Time Author with Full-Time Results. We talk productivity, tools and pro writing techniques. —> https://selfpublishingadvice.org/beginners-self-publishing-podcast-part-time-author/.

OTHER NEWS

If you haven't noticed, I am in the process of a branding update. I've learned quite a bit since I started publishing in 2014. I am rebranding many of my old series with new covers to give them a refresh. You'll notice a consistent look:

My author name at the top, book title at the bottom. While each series is different (with different designers usually), the feel is consistent, which is a subtle change that I will be implementing moving forward. I'm doing this with the long-term goal of a unified library, where everything looks consistent to new and existing readers. Additionally, my long-term goal is to branch out into audiobooks, and having a consistent look goes a long way with readers in that format.

Also, I aced my law school midterm, so that's exciting!

Aside from that, thanks for reading this month. Next month I'll have new covers and a new series reveal.
