It Has Happened!

The wait is over!

Last night at 9:30, I was going to bed when I got a text message from my cousin saying, “Ahhhhhhh! You’re book’s on Amazon!”

I was about to jump up to go see, but my fiance coerced me back into bed because I was so tired. Here I am now though! We looked at it this morning and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw my name on Amazon.com.

The world seems alight with new possibilities now, or maybe it’s just the stars in my eyes. Whichever, this is a wonderful day.

You can now go to my “The Dark Chronicles” page and find a link that will take you directly to my book’s page on Amazon.

Thank you all for your support!

Delayed :(

The publishing of my book has been delayed. It seems some of the text on the cover was too close to the edges and was in danger of getting cut off in production. I had to re-do the cover on both the

Publishing Update!!!

First thing’s first, I have changed my cover:

Do you like it? I just thought this captured the book better than the first one, since the boy on the first cover is not Connelly. If you liked the first cover don’t worry, I’m thinking of keeping it for the second book. This cover will wrap around the entire book as both front and back cover.

I would like to thank my wonderful and talented cover designer, Preston Giles (my fiance), for giving me such an eye-catching piece of artwork.

 

Secondly,

I would like to announce that Ensuing Darkness will be available on

Marketing Hurdles

To-do List for today and the foreseeable future? Marketing, and lots of it.

Okay, so I’ve been researching this for a while now and am still a little confused. If you remember an earlier post I made where I talked about feeling quite overloaded by all the media outlets us writers were supposed to be updating 24/7? Well, that, apparently, is marketing.

I can already tell you this is going to be hard for me. I’m so afraid I’m going to start something and then run out of ideas within the next month or so. Some of the information I found says to talk about my book and how everything is going. Give people updates on what new events I’m doing, and so on.

Well… after it gets published I don’t know what else I’m going to have to say about it. It’s a book. Buy it. Read it. Love it, and tell all your friends to do the same.

I didn’t have the money to get a marketing package with this publication, so everything falls on me to make this book a success. Of course, it also falls on you, my readers, to help me do it. I am completely dependent on you and your interest in my book to whether or not any of this works out. To whether or not I actually become a recognized Author.

Whether or not you’re interested enough that you buy my book, I want to thank all of you for continuing to revisit my site and like my posts on my book. It has helped give me the encouragement to get this far and the hope that I might actually have a chance to make this happen.

A Day in the Life

Hey everyone! I have some great news! I have finally, FINALLY, finished my book! Yes! Okay, so, now I’m reviewing it for grammatical errors while researching how exactly I want to publish it. I’m going to go through Amazon‘s Indie avenue and then through
