Greetings!
I’ll make this week’s post quick, as I’m scrambling to launch Minutemen: World When We Live, the second book in my Guardians of Time series. So, since this subject has completely invaded my mind, let’s talk about it for a bit…
First off, I’m fighting a bit of guilt, as I promised I would have this book out by Spring, which officially ended six weeks ago. I was right on schedule until life got in the way the beginning of this year. Supporting my family with health issues took up most of my time the first quarter of 2017.
Writing I have nailed pretty well, but juggling and multitasking? I’m still learning. Along with my novel, I’m also releasing a short story collection, set in the Minutemen universe that readers can get for free (if you are interested, just click the “subscribe to my newsletter” link at the top of this page, and you can get the collection for FREE! Honest, I wouldn’t lie.) and counting that, I finished two works of fiction in a year. In 2018 I plan to finish three, if you’re keeping score.
I’m also learning the intricacies of the marketing side of publishing, and all of the moving parts required to launch a book. This is my second time doing it. My hope is to get faster at it.
As for Minutemen: World When We Live, the final revision of the cover should be in my hands in just a few days, I just received comments from my last beta reader reporting back to me (everyone loved it–especially the third act. That’s a good sign!) and my promoting/advertising strategy is ready to go for a launch next Friday!
Until launch day,
David.
