My new palm tree!

Here's my latest victim. I have to admit that I am a serial palm tree killer. My last one, which looked this good when I bought it, was dead down to its last stubby brown branch in 5 months. Apparently I drowned it. Usually I kill them by forgetting to water them. Is there no way to keep these things alive and thriving? I'll keep you posted.

First Interview!

I just did an interview with Tonja Drecker at "bookworm for kids". You can read it via the link below. http://tonjadrecker.blogspot.com/2014/12/an-interview-with-cr-fladmark.htmlhttp://bookwormforkids.blogspot.de/2014/12/the-gatekeepers-son-by-cr-fladmark.html

Launch party today!

Party was fun, gave a speech and thanked everyone who'd helped make the book a reality. Sold lots of books too!

Pre-order it on Amazon today and if you like it, please write a review on your favorite social media sight and tell your friends.

September is more likely for the release

I said June for the release but it's here already and the cover and interior aren't even done yet. September is more likely at this point. I want it out but I won't sacrifice quality for speed

Still chuggin' along...

It's been busy for me these last few weeks. The cover of GKS is in the works as is the interior design. Here is a sneak preview of one of the design ideas.

Slow Monday

All the pre-production is underway and out of my hands. Even the social media stuff is being created and fine tuned. I have nothing to do but write. As you can see, I'm blogging instead...

Novel enters pre-production stage

With the copy edit completed yesterday, pre-production starts. Cover and interior design, then formatting for print and ebook. My work on this book is pretty much done, just approvals of designs.
Until then, I can focus on writing GKS 2 which is exciting.  However, once the first novel is done, the marketing efforts will be intense and will be time-consuming.
