Zombie and vampire dreams.
I went to the big name monster book store today to see if my book was on their shelf. I had looked at their website and found it, so I thought it might be worth the time to look. Of course it wasn't there. I'm not a big name or a high seller. No one has ever heard of me. So I headed over to my normal used book store. (I'm cheap, yes I know.) I think I scored pretty well. Right now I am reading World War Z by Max Brooks. I just started it so I can't really comment on it. I saw New York Best-Seller (which I know doesn't really mean anything) and zombie so I thought I would give it a crack. But at the store I stumbled across a set of books by David Wellington. There were four different vampire books under his name and I picked all of them up. (I didn't know if they were a series or not.) When I got home I looked him up on the net. Wow! It was a series and I had gotten all of them. Not only does he have this vampire series but a zombie series and a newly started werewolf series. They all look really good. Now I'm hoping I cruise through the zombie book so I can read the vampire set. I keep picking through the net, trying to find people to review my book Endlessly. I finally signed up for Google alerts. I submitted the PDF to a review site and they suggested it since they no longer inform the author when they release a review of the book. It actually works pretty well. It let me know that my giveaway had ended. The second giveaway went well. Over 900 people requested it again and some more people added it to their to-be-read list. I went ahead and set up another giveaway, but this time I made it worldwide and it will run for one month. I did it worldwide because I was contacted by someone in the UK that was curious about Legacy. With that I decided that I needed to set up a mailing list. I will not mail anyone on this list until Legacy is released and they will only be mailed when each book is released. I figured this would be the best way to keep people informed without them having to check in all the time to see if there has been any change. I got a bunch of writing done on Switch today. I finished up two chapters that are the turning point in the story, and I know that they are far from perfect, but I laid it all out and got it out of my head. I know that these are the two chapters that I will pick to death to get them just right. When I am done with switch I will step away from this story. I haven't quite made up my mind what and if I will write anything beyond this. After all I have already accomplished what I had set out to do. All I wanted was to publish a book. And with that I will leave you with zombie and vampire dreams. Good night.
