A milestone (for me at least)

[Owen]

I suppose this counts as a current project. Our third book just went live on Amazon. By some magic or other, it popped up here on GR just about instantly. So much for having to add it.

Anyway, each book we've written has been a milestone for us. The first was "Wow! Did we actually publish a book?" The second was "Damn! We did it again!" This one is feels different. Three books seems sorta... real. (Actually, I suppose it's technically four, since there are two installments in this volume, but whatever.)

So I felt like sharing that, and you good folks are the stuckees. Now I have to go see what egregious error was overlooked despite our best efforts and will now be glaringly obvious.

Thanks for allowing me to post about our little victory here.

Congrats! I'm about to publish my second book March 31st. Currently proof-reading for the final time and trying to catch all of those pesky typos. Once again, congrats on the new book!

[Christina]

Congrats, Owen! I'm about to do #8 and it still excites me every time I hit publish. :)

[K.]

congratulations. Definitely getting a new book out there, whether the first or the first thousandth is an achievement. It means you've done a whole barge load of work.

Way to go!

Thanks! That's always the fun part. The 'lil buggers breed...

Wow! You are way ahead of us. It will be years before we hit 8 books. We'd like to be able to produce a book every 6 mo's, but I'm not sure that's realistic for us.

Thanks! Now it feels like we actually have a series, not just a book and a sequel. It's so nice to click that little button (except for the worrying part, of course).

Congrats, and I feel much the same. My third book of The Zenith Series, The Zenith's Warrior is coming out in April. It's off to the editor tomorrow, so I can see how many glaring mistakes I made! Some of those mistakes really make me feel bad, some just make me laugh. All the best for your fourth book! Dameon

Never say never, Owen. I wrote drivel that was tossed away or shelved for twenty years. You may find yourself turning into a writing fool out of the blue. ;)

One can hope! And I know what you mean. The genesis of our series was back in 1990 +/- a year or so. No one I knew much liked what I wrote then, so I played with it, then dropped it until 2011 when I mentioned in to my (now) co-author and she agreed to come on board with the idea. I suppose if I'd forged ahead in 1990, I could have possibly gotten ahead of the whole curve, but the series would have sucked. I'm glad I waited.

Thanks & likewise!
