My cover is done, I am in my final edits, and the maps are nearly complete! I’m so excited for my release on May 8th, 2018. The process has been long and slow, but I am seeing a light at the end of my tunnel. I can now submit my book to book clubs. Which is a great selling option. If book of the Month Club, or Scholastic, or Oprah’s Book Club choose to list your book, they will make Mass purchases, and up your sales. Plus, it is great exposure if you are chosen. This needs to be done effectively, at least 6 months before your release. So give it a try!

I’m working on the second book of my Collie Chronicles series. Word count doesn’t mean much at this point because my writing “process” is messy–character arcs, plot development, scenes that pop into my head, notes for later in the book. But all will come together in the next month or so. And in the meantime, I continue to promote my already published books, as does RPP. (My continuing gratitude, Chris!)

Between my full time job as a teacher, and my part time job as a coach (Cross Country, Track and Field) I have been working on book four in he series, “The Dark Warrior.” It’s been slow going, but I keep plugging away. I have also been gathering notes on my next project, it is a more realistic type medieval story set in the 14th and 15th centuries.

Well done!

Luckily, I’m getting about 500 words a day on my lunch hour. Won’t burn up the presses, but will get me to the conclusion of the first in this Silver Foxes series.

Like many of you, I enjoy creating a story and seeing it completed and put up on sites (Amazon etc.). Working full-time, it is not easy when I am not in the house for 12 hours a day. I average a book every 3-4 years. In any event, it is what we have to do, regardless of how many we sell; although, yes, we keep at it, trying to promote as much as we can. Most of us have to try to push our books as much as possible using free platforms (FB etc.) Keep at it!

Now working on a book to bring both MCs and the Russian Bratva together
A writer never quits

The copies of my forthcoming book, THE POWER CLUB, arrived (thanks, RPP!), and the first two copies were given away to my niece and nephew, ages 11 and 8, respectively! I also poured through the book to look for “zingers” to send to my PR agent. (It’s harder to find zingers than one might imagine!) I’m also preparing to attend the ShowMe Writers Masterclass workshop (http://www.showmewriters.com/) later this month.

Writing goes hand-in-hand with the teaching of writing for me; I’ve been asked to revise one of the college courses I teach, so I spent Saturday pouring through a new textbook to figure out how to work it into our existing course before a full-scale revision is done. This is exciting as it’s the first chance I’ve had to revise a course.

Writing-wise, I’m taking a break from THE POWER CLUB sequel and am working on a science fiction story which may (or may not) tie in with PC books. I love inventing my own worlds and looking for possible connections between them.

That sounds really good and an interesting day. I am a member of Nottingham Writers Studio and it encourages members to host book launches for their work at the studio. I am going to do this for my novel when it is published next month. The studio promotes book launches on Twitter. Are there any similar organisations near you which offer similar services? I find the studio invaluable as it also offers discounted workshops for writers.
