Marketing, Transcribing, Life, Youtube, and 2024
Hi all, just an update on current activities and plans.
> Focus has been on *marketing* the three books since the 3rd publication. Learning metrics, statistics, and performance indicators, all on a low monthly budget.
> Some progress on transcribing Specks of Shadows, Flecks of Light from paper to online Vella but the more I look at the work, the more I realize the book is going to need a LOT of 'finishing'. As my first writing, I have since learned a bit about descriptions, reader engagement, titles, and editing. Hoping to finish this year.
> Real life work & activity. Employment is paramount to survival, summertime means visiting family, and friends, and enjoying the outdoors.
> YouTube project. In addition to interviews, I'm also expanding by uploading classic audiobooks, obscure music, and informational blurbs. YouTube is a fun toy.
> 2024 should bring about some new titles as previously mentioned or expand on current titles. I am admittedly shying away from expanding X or Psycho Author even though it would be easiest to do so because I'm still curious about breadth rather than depth, but wouldn't deny if there's a demand otherwise.
If anyone would like to talk about these, ask questions, or provide comments, always welcome! Or, if there's a complete topic about other stories you'd like to bring up, by all means, feel free.

Beyond The Veil, Encountering Demons. Kindle Vella by Amarilys Gacio Rassler. Interview by Aegelis.
"A supernatural tale based on my life's story, my encounter and battle with demons, which brought me close to suicide. A traumatic tale which draws reader into the love, drama and humor of a Cuban family. Yet a chilling story demonstrating the cruelty of the dark side of the spirit realm and the power of God to overcome it."
