The vampire shields its eyes to the broader horizon.

Endlessly has been available for over a month now. I have received some enlightening remarks. I'm glad that most people are anxious for the sequel to be released. I want to give it to you all too. Believe me; you don't know how hard it is to bite my tongue when people talk to me about the story. The only information that I can give you is: If you liked Endlessly, you might not be so happy with Legacy, but…the story isn't over until Phantom. I will warn you in advance…huge cliff hanger with Legacy. This is all purely speculation. And that is all due to the fact that I know how much the story bent after the editor took a look at Endlessly the first time. I look back at my first draft of Endlessly and laugh…what was I thinking. But, even though there were well over 10,000 words worth of change in rewrite and edit, the story (for the most part) and outcome stayed the same. It was only the steps that were taken to get there that changed the most. I wonder if Legacy will become much like that. I would love to hand it to the editor today and get it out there ASAP but, ($$$...sigh) you know how life can be.I swear; I am working as much overtime that I can, and I am not splurging so that this story can be told. (And I really want another tattoo people; I've been itching for one for a while. Especially with the release of Endlessly-I think it deserves something monumental to have accomplished something like this in my life.)Marketing has been a nightmare. It's almost impossible to find reviewers. There seems to be this huge window for YA; which my book is not. I think Jason would have to clean up his language for that…and that's not going to happen. So with the marketing nightmare that has become all my waking moments, I have been toying with the idea of being bombarded with rejection again. That is what caused me to self-publish in the first place. I think that I will go the same route as before (which was-get rejected by five different agencies then give up) then go back to the waiting game.I try to reach out to other authors but I don't want upset them. I know they are having a hard enough time getting their own stories out there. Me, I would be more than willing to post information for a fellow author. Or even do a review. Some don't quite see the whole-you scratch my back I scratch yours-as an effective marketing strategy-and especially from a newbie. So until next time, cheers to sacrificing sleep, R&R, and free time to the birthing pains of vampires and werewolves. Happy zombie dreams. (To answer someone's question: When I dream of the zombies and they talk to me and do not harm me, I do feel a little like I am their queenJ. Sorry about your head J.S. but you need to stick with me when the zombies attack and not jump off of buildings.)www.authorcvhunt.comwww.authorcvhunt.com
