Busy Days
It has been a busy couple of weeks – or should that be months?
Ossard's Hope is out on Amazon, the Kindle ebook release is only days away, while the Australian retail launch is (about) to be confirmed for September (yes, okay, I'm tempting fate by mentioning it before confirmation). At the same time the first book in The Ossard Trilogy, The Fall of Ossard, is only picking up strength, if but mainly through Kindle sales. Over the next month I am also hoping that The Fall of Ossard and Ossard's Hope will become available for other e-readers. All of that makes it look like there's not a lot of time for writing. It would be true to say that my availability is being stretched.
With the second Ossard book being released I've also had to set aside some time for promotional work. Over the past few weeks I've taken part in various interviews and also supplied snippets of text to be posted in various places. At the same time review copies are being shipped. This hyper-promotional phase will continue through to the end of October. By then I plan on refocussing on writing, as I have a heavy schedule to release four books next year (again not confirmed, again I'm tempting fate). By the end of October, as things start to settle down, including the wrapping up of a planned Australian signing tour, I am hoping to announce a release date for Ossard book 3 – and a title. In the meantime I'm just trying to keep up.
With all of the above in mind, and considering I haven't yet mentioned that I also work a full time job, it makes you wonder what I do in my off time.
What off time?
Funnily enough, right now, I am spending most of what little off time I get working on two writing projects that will see the light of day next year. One of them follows on from Ossard (with a minor character, in a different location, two years on), the other is even more exciting.
My new project, which I tentatively call Project V, is taking a good deal of my spare time right now as a I research and ponder the plot and format of the release. At this stage the project is not a standalone novel or 'just' a standalone trilogy. Project V looks like being something quite different, possibly a range, and in essence very unique.
Project V will change the way you see our world – and what it could have been.
That's all for now, time to get busy.
