New Project Time
Well the time is almost here. Book 6 of my Killing the Dead zombie apocalypse series is almost ready to be released.
This release will mark the final chapter of this particular story and also my one year anniversary of indie publishing.
Its has been an interesting experience and I have been surprised at how much I have enjoyed the process of writing, editing and so on. It likely helped that I feel such a great amount of affection for Ryan and Lily, those two characters that have been a rather large part of my life and imagination for a year now.
I do think that my writing has improved over the year and some have commented on this as each book has been released. This is great for me, not just getting feedback which I do love, but actually improving. It gives me confidence to continue.
In this year I have given away over three thousand copies of the first book in my series which has gained thirty one reviews over its time. With little to no promotion, I am immensely happy with this and more so that thirty one people have enjoyed it enough to review the book.
My next step once the final book is released is to work on the paperback copies of each to get them out there, perhaps a compilation of the final three so that they can all be purchased at the same time and of course, promotion and marketing.
I also need to start work on my next project. While I have a few ideas and genres I would like to work with, I am not sure which will be the best for me. I have narrowed it down to the following.
A steam punk story – kind of – with the emphasis on a war between two great nations and the rise to power of a talented mage, no matter what he has to do to gain that power.
A demon tasked with taking the souls of humans caught between the powers of heaven and hell as he does something he never thought he could.
A superhero novel with a man / woman just learning to use their powers and facing the challenges of using those powers for either the heroes or villains.
A science fiction tale about humanities trek to the stars and what they find out there.
I am possibly leaning towards the steampunk type of book at the moment though no real decision has been made. Each of the books will require some world building and the decision as to whether or not to create them as standalone, series or serial formats.
Any comments and suggestions are welcomed.
