New website, new book and a mailing list!
You may notice that my blog/webiste looks a bit crisper and more professional. I decided that it needed a long overdue facelift. I’ve also taken the plunge and finally got around to setting up a mailing list. I’ve long avoided these things as I figured that a blog with a ‘follow’ function was enough but I’ve been getting more into the business side of things recently and have heard again and again that a mailing list is the way to go in retaining old readers and hooking new ones.
Now the thing with mailing lists is that you need something to offer subscribers. Free novellas is a popular way forward and I will be doing one of those as soon as I can. This novella will tie into a new series I’m writing which will be a sequel trilogy to my Hengest and Horsa trilogy. But that trilogy is a long way from finished yet. I usually wait until about a month before release before I do a cover reveal but felt it was right to hook potential subscribers to my mailing list with some info on what I am currently working on.
Sign of the White Foal will be the first book in the Arthur of the Cymry trilogy and will probably be ready for release early next year. That’s quite a wait but I wanted to get my mailing list up and running ASAP. The tie-in novella (once I’ve written it) will be free and exclusive for subscribers. Here is the clickable image I’ve spent the last couple of days laboriously inserting into the back matter of all of my ebooks. Feel free to click on it and subscribe! I can’t promise any great activity yet but will be in touch when I have something to report!
