Doing the Things. Finally.

I’m am so damned pleased to announce I’ve got irons about to come out of the fire. I’m having a new cover created for Shadow’s Lyric at the same time as the cover for Shadow’s Raven is being made.

No, the image to the left isn’t the cover, but it is an image of Lyric and Draven from Shadow’s Lyric that I made with the help of Canva’s new AI tools. Pretty neat little tool.

I’m considering getting into the cover design business–yeah, because I don’t have enough in my life to keep me busy and awake at night. In case you weren’t aware, self-publishing is a side hustle and my real job takes a lot out of me. Perhaps someday I’ll make enough off my books to just write.

I just heard Wayne and Garth tell me, “And monkeys might fly out of my butt.” If you don’t get that joke I need you to Google it immediately.

Moving on…

I like when there’s a little surprise here and there in a novel and I’m not good with surprises so I decided to try something with the new release. I’m waiting on my cover designer and some confirmation for promo dates before I set the release date, but I plan to do it as soon as possible. Book 2 is in final edits so I’m shooting for end of the month. Fingers crossed!

I also have another book kinda sorta related to the Crossing Daggers books, but has none of the characters. I’m slow rolling it out on Kindle Vella but am considering pulling it. I don’t have the time to release only 1k words here and there. I intend to get Shadow’s Raven out before I pull the trigger.

Speaking of that book, I don’t have a good title. I think it was like, Brides of Falcondale, or something. I panicked and that’s what happened when I added the first handful of chapters. I know, I know. I’ll make it better. I just have to get some other things off my plate.

Anyway, I will have a release date soon. I truly appreciate everyone who has read my work and has taken a moment to ask about the next book. I’ve never taken this long to finish a project. I don’t intend for it to become a habit.

XOXO,

C.A.
