A Quick Update: What’s Next for my Books!

Hi, folks! Today, I just wanted to post a quick update to let you know what’s next for me and my books. Now that my publisher, Booktrope, has announced its closure at the end of May, the rights to my books revert to me, which means that in the short-term, I need to republish No Rest for the Wicked, my supernatural thriller, and Eyes Like Lighthouses When the Boats Come Home, my book of poetry, through CreateSpace.

I’m planning on getting that done as soon as the rights revert to me so that there’ll be hardly any (if any) disruption to the Amazon pages. However, if you want to read the Booktrope version of either of those then now is a good time to grab them!

Meanwhile, I’m also working on releasing Former.ly, my literary fiction novel about the rise and fall of a social networking site. I designed a cover for that and I’m working on the layout and the final edit of it as we speak – it’s due for release on June 11th, and I’m currently trying to build up momentum ahead of the launch with a Thunderclap. Please do click here to support that!

 

 

After that, I have no shortage of releases to look forward to – in fact, I’m planning on aiming to release a book every two months after Former.ly for the forseeable future. That’s because I have two sources for my material – republished versions of old books, and new books that I was working on and was planning on releasing via Booktrope.

Let’s look at the new projects first. After Former.ly, I’ve got a non-fiction book called Social Paranoia: How Consumers and Brands Can Stay Safe in a Connected World. That will be followed up with Come On Up to the House, a horror screenplay and novella, and then by the Leipfold series of detective novels, that I’m currently working on developing.

I’ve also got a bunch of old projects to republish – I’d self-published twelve books before Booktrope released No Rest for the Wicked, although they were only available as paperbacks through me. Now, I’ll be going back through some of the older projects and reworking them for proper publication.

 

 

Those projects include The Lexicologist’s Handbook, which is a dictionary of unusual and obscure words, Inverted Commas, a collection of quotations, and Oceanus, a book of experimental poetry based upon the Wikipedia page for the Titanic which was live 100 years to the second after the great ship hit the iceberg.

All in all, there’s a lot to be done, but I’m looking forward to the challenge. As always, I really appreciate your support – be sure to check out No Rest for the Wicked and Eyes Like Lighthouses When the Boats Come Home if you’re curious, or to follow me on Facebook and Twitter for further updates. I’ll see you soon!
