Oops, It’s April

Have I really not posted anything since March 20th? Geez, guys, it looks like what I said in that last post turned out to be all too true. Life has been in super life mode. Like on steroids mode. I’m not going to go into all those details, but damn, y’all.

Suffice it to say that my energy for socials and promotion has been low. I’ve been limping along with the bare minimum, which is probably not ideal when I just released the third Order of Crows book and, before that, the second Fae-Cursed book. The fun (?) thing about being indie and having published books is that they’ll still be there when I can fully come back around to my online presence. They may not be selling, but they’ll be there.

Speaking of selling, we have a little more than two weeks before the Cocoa Village Book Fest. It will be my first event of the year and is so far the only one I have scheduled. I feel like I should at least have another event lined up but, as mentioned above, the time and energy to devote to such events has changed this year compared to last year. The household as also been adjusting to a schedule change that has rearranged our day-to-day. So I also have to be more choosey about what events I can consider. Luckily, for the upcoming book fest, I have everything I need already, so it will just be a matter of packing it all up and getting it to the location. I’m pretty excited to be back at this event for a second year.

What else? I’ve been slowly working on Sevina Gate #2 rewrites/revisions. It has taken me like two weeks to rewrite four chapters. That’s 7,960 words. I’ve been getting in half-hour and hour long sessions when I could. It feels like it’s taking forever. The rewrites are good, though, so it’s worth the drawn out process of it. I also think that there are parts of the words that I won’t have to completely rewrite. Of course, I think I always say that and usually end up rewriting them anyway. But I mean it this time.

I’m going to shamelessly plug the first novella because I’ve done little to promote it since we released it back in December.

There we go. If you’re into fantasy races in unusual places, scrap punk vibes, dystopian vibes, moderate spice, illustrations, and character-driven narratives that all intertwine … this story might be for you. The project is completely homegrown, the printing and ebook distribution aside. The ebook is only a few dollars. It’s on KindleUnlimited, too. And we will have physical copies for sale at our table on April 18th in Cocoa Village. I would love for this little novella to gain some traction. Tell your friends.

Well, I think that’s all for now. Hopefully I can manage another post before the event. Hopefully I can register for another event. Who knows? Stay tuned to find out.
