A Sense Of Where You Are
There are a couple of things I want to tell people, and, well, you know, if there’s a better way of telling people things than a blog post on an obscure vanity website, well, I don’t know what that is. So here goes.
1. The good news first: I have completed the first draft of my next novel, tentatively titled WREATHED, and have, like, totally started the initial editing process. I am not saying a great deal about it now, other than to say that it’s a contemporary romance, that it’s set in New Jersey, and that it’s very loosely based on a George Jones song. I have to run through and copy-edit it (that shouldn’t take too long), and then I want to go through it line-by-line and make whatever changes need to be made, and then hire a real editor (probably the one I used for RAIN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY) and then it’ll be good. What I will probably end up doing is querying at least a few agents and seeing what kind of response I get, and if that doesn’t work out, self-publish again. If I go that route, it’ll probably be out before the end of the year, maybe as early as September. At which point, if you’re reading this, I will badger you to buy it and to tell your friends, because that’s how I roll.
2. Sales for RAIN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY have gone a bit stagnant, not to say nonexistent, mostly because I’ve put my energies into finishing WREATHED and not promoting the book that’s actually available for people to buy. My bad. So I’m doing some marketing stuff — setting up a new website, for one thing, and I’m doing a Goodreads giveaway (details below) and I’ll probably do some sort of limited-time price cut at some point.
Thanks if you’ve read this far.
