Change is Coming

Still not quite back on my feet yet, but I've made a list of things I'm changing to help right the ship. All three books in the Ashes series will be getting new covers, and that's where my focus is at the moment. The covers that are there now are what I thought would look neat, but they clearly haven't done the job in getting people to check out what's inside, so I'm going back to square one and really looking into cover design and how to do it. I have to make them myself, so I have a lot to learn.

Writing-wise, I still haven't been able to look at Book IV very hard. The release of Mirrors has messed me up more than I thought, and I'm still gunshy about pouring myself full-force into it yet. I will, have no doubt, just not yet. Meanwhile, I've pulled something off of the back burner to work on so that I can keep my writer brain active, rather that sinking entirely into all the marketing stuff. It's very different tonally from the Ashes books, much lighter (with more swears. So many swears), but still about a magic-slinging girl who fancies other girls. Way breezier, and should be much shorter than the 140,000-word leviathans I've been writing up 'til now.

Those aren't the only changes and happenings, many more are happening behind the scenes, but know that I am still here, and still working. Some will be obvious, some now. But there will be a lot, so I need to get to them. If you're reading this, know that I appreciate it, and thank you for staying.
