The summer holidays are over!
Adventures in Self-Publishing; Summer Holiday’s Are Over!
The most exciting piece of news is possibly that the children have returned to school! As lovely as the summer has been, it is certainly good to have the quiet needed for me to begin another project. The last few weeks, aside from a little book marketing online, have largely consisted of picnics, BBQs, camping, and a higher-than-usual consumption of gin! Sadly, almost no writing. I say almost, because I did put together my first ever piece of flash fiction, which had a word limit of 666 words, and was more difficult than I expected. I wrote a piece, entitled Crimson Swans, for a publishing house who are putting together a Christmas themed horror anthology in aid of charity. I was very pleased to hear that my story is to be included, with a publication date expected in early December so I will provide a link when it is available.
Aside from this, I have been jotting notes down for my next novel, which is a move away from the previous characters and will be a dark thriller of sorts. I am currently outlining the storyline so nothing is yet set in stone, I am just enjoying the way the story is beginning to twist and turn.
While I have been having a fairly lazy summer, work-wise, the illustrator who is working on my children’s book has been very busy. I was today sent the illustrations for the first half of the book, and we have agreed a deadline at the end of October so that I can have printed in time for my first ever book signing event in November (details below).
One quick reminder that the sequel to The Broken Doll is now available from Amazon, and other retailers, including Barnes & Noble and Apple. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_... and to celebrate, the first novel is on STILL ON SALE at just 99p for the ebook.
If you would like a signed edition, bought in person, then come along to The Underground Theatre in Eastbourne, UK on November 11th where I will be attending a book fair, along with a multitude of other local authors.
I hope that you are all well, and thank you for taking a few minutes to read this. Feel free to get in touch with any comments or questions and I hope the summer has been great for all of you.
