Big Progress

Finally, after a lot of procrastinating (at least that’s what it felt like), I managed to get my next title off for the next stage in the publishing process. This is actually quite a big achievement for me, as it represents an almost doubling of the length of my longest stand alone title, to well over 40,000 words.

Not only has the length increased, but it seems that I’ve found again some of the special elements that attracted readers to my work in the first place. Of course, it’s a little bit harder to make so many words drip with seduction and intimacy, but it was fun finding a way to make it work for this particular story.

It’s currently in the middle of the next stage of publishing, and I expect to have it back and ready again within the next couple of weeks. Then it is looking good for a publishing date around the middle of March.

Aside from working on my writing, I was asking a couple of my new Twitter followers how they managed to find me, as I couldn’t quite sort out the linkage between what I do, and why they might be interested (other than them reading my books, of course). The problem came when I realised that they hadn’t read any of my books, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that they were following me because they found me interesting. That’s a win in my books. The more people who find me interesting, the more likely it is that they will make the transition to reading and enjoying my books, so that’s always a goal.
