June 19

June was the first month of heat we’ve had in London, and a mostly
positive month for getting ‘stuff’ accomplished. Book sales were happening for
the Earth Saga series, and a few free copies of Love in a time of war
were also snapped up. It was actually the best month of sales since September,
but well short of where we need to be!

On a very positive note, I finally got all the pages of Condition
Zero back from my beta-tester/editor, which will allow me to launch it in
early July. We’re still on target for a 4 book launch this year, just need to
keep the nose to the grindstone.

I was able to get to France early in the month, and did some
editing there while watching the French Open, and I’ve been enjoying Wimbledon
this week while knocking out final edits on Condition Zero.

On the reading front, I’ve started reading The State of
Africa which is both enlightening, and rather depressing at the same time.

Film wise, I checked out I am Mother on Netflix, and
while it wasn’t perfect, it was by far the best sci-fi that they’ve made to
date. Hopefully that trend continues.

A few days in Lisbon was thrown into the mix, which was a
lovely few days out of London.

July has one primary mission objective: get Condition
Zero on Kindle. That is it. That objective should be completed by the end
of the 2nd week, and after that, it’s full speed ahead with Project
9 and Project X, the 7th Earth Saga book.

Applications are still going out to agents, but I’m just
getting ‘NO’ in response. Something to expect, I suppose. Just need to keep the
message getting out.

Let’s hope July goes to plan, and the few fans that have
read books 1-5 enjoy the 6th installment of the Earth Saga.
