It’s already been two weeks since the launch of my debut novel, Ashes Swept. Looking back, I can’t help but take stock of the entire process–what worked, what didn’t, and what to do another way next time. Here are five (totally random) things that I’ll definitely remember when I’m ready to do it again…
I’ve been waiting for months to finally share the book trailer for my new novel, Ashes Swept, which will be available at Amazon on Friday, 9/29!
I’m so excited to finally share the cover of my new novel, Ashes Swept, which will be available on Amazon.com next Friday, September 29th. The cover was created by the talented Clarissa Yeo of Yocla Designs. Thanks, Clarissa!
Stay-tuned for more exciting goodies as launch week for Ashes Swept continues!
I’m happy to announce that launch week for Ashes Swept will begin one week from Friday, on September 22nd!
I’ll be sharing some fun things here (and on social media) each day leading up to launch day. The Ashes Swept cover reveal, book trailer, and selections from the AS playlist are just a few of the things I have planned. Then, on September 29th, Ashes Swept will be available for purchase, in both print and Kindle, on Amazon.com!
I finished the fourth draft last week, and if all goes well, that should be my last revision. Now I’ve just got to send it back out to my team, make the necessary edits, and do a few polishing runs. I’m finally approaching the end of this tunnel!
The publication timeline is slowly coming into focus, but I don’t have a date yet. Part of that will depend on my cover artist. Hopefully I’ll have a better idea in the next month or so.
Now that I’m getting so close to the end, I’ve started looking ahead to book two. I’m really excited to get back into editing that one. It’s actually the first novel I wrote–way back in 2010. The story needs a lot of work. And, I realized, it’s another red-headed protagonist. Which, oops. I swear I only have two! =)
