Last night was a great night. Got to go visit my parents while they were camping, meet some of their friends who I found out were reading my book and talk about it and pass on interesting stuff, and see how they’re reacting to it. And then went to the drive in with my parents to watch Wonder Woman on a glorious summer’s night. A good night was had.
But the reason the long night is really over is that I finally got all the obstacles out of the way, and “A Light Rises in a Dark World” is available as an ebook, Paperback and Hardcover. BTW, don’t trust amazon when it says something is temporarily out of stock. It’s a flaw on THEIR end. The book is POD, and you can get it sent probably far faster than they’ll claim. Been seeing that with other products too, and some of my fellow members at ALLI have been reporting the same problem for books not published by an Amazon imprint. Just… come on guys. Don’t be petty.
Anyway, as I mentioned and added to the site, I’m a member of ALLI. Great resource for those who are published or just about to publish. Great people over there too.
As an added bonus, I had an epiphany about the global story going on… and it has the potential to really REALLY change the direction of the entire series moving forward. Them big picture storylines can really shake up your thoughts on what the world was supposed to be. What it helped the most with is that it gave me solid motivations and plans on the “How” will be accomplished. It also spiked the drama way up for what’s going to happen with poor ole’ Brother Finn and Reimar when the time comes. We’re thinking big picture, mind you. Book 4…? Book 5? Ummm… not sure when. Maybe some moves will start happening earlier or the seeds will be laid. I dunno yet. Still working on the fun stuff and conceptualizing. You know, the fun part of writing.
So that’s the update. I’m focusing more on Book 2 now that I’ve got the wreckage of Book 1’s crashed launch off the runway, I can go back to getting Book 2 ready to fly.
I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. Talk to your cover artist and ask if he’d be interested in creating/developing a motion art film and/or graphic novel version. It’ll be a great market.
that would be an awesome product, but I’d require significant sales increases before that could happen, for it would be a huge investment for a voice cast and audio production as well as artistic production. It’s something I’d love to do though. Maybe I should look at a kickstarter campaign for that, or Patreon. I think though, that it should wait till book 3 is out. Otherwise, yeah! 😀
