What’s goin’ on?

I fully realize that it has been well over a month since my last post. Receiving a comment on my last post last night and approving it this morning gave me a bit of a kick in the pants.

So where have I been?

This adventure in publishing has been and continues to be incredible!

We launched Michael Antcliffe’s book, Hope is my Wingman, on August 19th, and we’ve nearly gotten all of the distribution kinks out. In October, we’re launching Jillian Watts’s Become, and I would be remiss if I didn’t say that it makes my family sick hearing how much I love that book! On November 2nd, at Top Chef Thunder Bay, we’re launching a new style of Cookbook/Taste Tour called Superior Flavours. 

I’ve been working extremely long hours every single day, and no, I haven’t had time to pen the last few chapters of Madness and Blood. I did, however, reorganize and go through Thunder and Blood, and it is in the capable hands of my editors right now. It won’t be released until 2014, but they will both be out next year. I’m ensuring that I take my responsibilities seriously by ensuring that the other authors and organizations that we are working with come first. After all, this isn’t my own publishing platform; we started this company to make other author’s dreams come true. At some point, we’ll also be offering a full range of Indie Author Services, but I want to get a handle on the whole process before I allow myself, and others, to spread resources too thinly.

When I talk about the process, it reminds me of some quick announcements I can make:

We are partnering with BitLit to bundle a free eBook with every paperback that we sell.
We are working on developing a partnership with Ereatah, a subscription service for eBooks.
We will also be participating in Amazon’s Matchbook bundling program for books purchased on Amazon (they only provide Kindle versions of eBooks).
We will be offering advanced orders of Become in just a few weeks – Stay tuned!
At the end of September, we will be holding an event at Coles, Intercity Mall in Thunder Bay for Michael Antcliffe’s inspirational book, Hope is my Wingman . Expect the unexpected!

So, basically, that’s what’s goin’ on. I’ve been busy.
