About this blog

I’ve been working away, but not actually updating this thing. I think I’m going to move it off the site navigation and just stop updating it, at least for the time being—I can highlight new releases on the home page, and links to posts should still work.

Gotta warn you

Amazon is raising its print prices June 20, which means authors have to raise their prices or not list their print books there anymore. It depends a bit on the book, but with some I’m going to have to jack up the price by $5, which seems like a lot to me. E-book prices aren’t affected, but if for some reason you’ve been thinking about buying a hard copy from me or any other indie writer, I’d certainly recommend doing it before June 20!

Progress report

Not been updating this much, have I? Well, I suppose if I don’t need it as a motivational tool, then…

Anyway! I have been chugging along on the various books.

-I have laid out Book 1, done an edit, and input the corrections

-I have gone through the beta read on Book 2, so I will incorporate those and start laying that one out

-I have finished edits on Book 3 and given the book to the beta reader

Whew!

Progress report

I’ve laid out the first 11 chapters of Book 1, and I’ve gone through the first five chapters of the Book 3 printout—mixing things up here, but also the hope is that by giving myself a bit of a break, I’ll look at Book 3 with fresh eyes.

Progress report

I finished inputting the edits to Book 2 and sent it off to the beta reader. I also went through their remarks on Book 1—they seemed to have enjoyed it, the main issues were in some places it’s not entirely clear who is where & where people are going, so hopefully I fixed that.

Progress report

Input corrections for the first five chapters of Book 2. Also, I realized that there were some hunks of backstory missing—I guess that’s an upside to jumping around editing different books rather than doing it always in order!—so I fixed that.
