A Look Back at All That was Done in 2020 & Some Free Book Promotions
Hello everyone! It’s a new year and thank God that 2020 is over! I don’t know about all of you but it was pretty awful for me. The first part of the year there was a company merger at my work, and the change in management led a stressful work environment that nearly broke me. Then came a lay off and many months of unemployment and quarantine. So it has been a trying year. But one thing that this year has given me, is time to work on my books.
Over the course of 2020 nearly all the short stories were revised and moved to Amazon Unlimited which was quite a lot of work and a couple new shorts were released. Also as I examined the library of what I self-published, I realized there were also some sacrifices to be made. The Daily Chronical and Mint shorts were removed from the market. This is because Mint and Daily Chronicle were two planned series that remain unfinished. They were starts to something that will probably remain unfinished. Also they were something I wrote when I was a younger, and I think they may need some rewritten elements regardless.
As I am concluding the revisions and Kindle Exclusivity deals with Amazon for the short, I have begun to assess what to do with my longer projects. (Though I feel like some of them may transform into short stories as I edit.) I am a few chapters into revising Warped. And there are a couple I decided to pull from the market. One was Jade Dragon and Christmas Times. Jade Dragon was pulled because I think it needs more extensive reworking and Christmas Times is just a little too silly. A single copy was never sold for either one, so this shouldn’t be that big of an issue that they were removed. Unfortunately this is what happens when a teenager discovers self-publishing when she believes her work is perfect. Years later there’s a lot of cleaning up to do. But I think I’m doing a pretty good job mopping up the mess and squaring everything away.
And with that said, I did want to share something fun for the New Year. The Alice series are going to be free for a few days to start off with 2021. Each story focuses on a different Alice in a dark Wonderland. It will FREE from January 4th to January 8th.
Alice: Winter’s Story follows a gunslinger Alice traveling the checkboard desert. This can be found @ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KRF9KWQ
Alice: Stone’s Story follows a former card soldier Alice on the run in Diamond City. This can be found @ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0776MR6CC
Alice: Khoza’s Story follows a scientist Alice who steals a Hatter artifact to rip a hole between worlds to get back home. This can be found @ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QM5SG5M
With all that said, I hope you enjoy the free shorts if they sound like your thing. I hope you all have a happy New Year! The rotten 2020 is now in the past, so we can now look forward to a better year!
