Updates Galore
Gosh I am really bad at keeping this blog updated. Of course that is because I am working so hard on my writing… honest. No really, I am.
In fact to prove it, I can happily say that the third book in my Killing the Dead series should be released in about a week. I just need to have one more run through with editing and sort out a cover… and a title.. but that’s it. That’s pretty much complete right there.
While it was away with my editor – also known as my Mother – I started another story. This is almost ten thousand words in and flowing quite well. A different genre and likely more of a standalone novel, though as time permits if people enjoy it I shall add more novels in that world.
Once I have released book 3 of Killing the Dead I shall be doing a few short stories that will be written from the perspective of some of the other group members and of course, Lily. These will give a little insight into the backgrounds of each. Somewhere in the midst of those will be a short/story novella that will tie in a little with book 3. Not essential to enjoy the story of book 3, but will explain a few things that happened off-screen between book two and three for the secondary characters.
I have not decided how I am going to release those. I may put them up here with links to download them directly, most likely for free. Any suggestions on how to do that or other options would be appreciated.
After the release of book 3, I am going to look (again) at Createspace and creating hardcopy versions of my books, which is quite exciting but something I haven’t really had time to look into, in between work, being a single parent, chores, writing… I definitely need more time in the day.
Finally, I am toying with the idea of combining books 1 – 3 and releasing them as a separate e-book that can be bought or borrowed from Kindle Unlimited, so that I can take my other books and put them in some different sites, such as Smashwords and Apples own bookstore.
So some exciting things and lots for me to do. I also have more stories in my Killing the Dead series to complete and a number of other ideas for stories that I would like to work on at some point. With the release of my next book I will have three out there since starting in May and the biggest problem I have is time. Just not enough of it, to get everything done that I would like.
On the plus side, it means that I am going to be occupied for a fair old while and having some purpose in life beyond being a dad is important since my littlest girl is now in High school and very much looking to be independent.
That’s it for now. Somewhere in between everything else I shall try and find more time to update here for you few people who read this blog… occasionally… or perhaps rarely. :)
