Christmas Sale Recap
Posted: 28th December 2012 by admin in Eye of Darkness, Spilled Milk, The Writing LifeSo, after making two books with fewer than five reviews available for three days over Christmas – and hitting several pages with announcements about the books – here are the results: Eye of Darkness – 239 books given away. Spilled Milk – 656 books given away. As of this writing, I haven’t sold any additional [...]
It’s about five o’clock on the first day of the Christmas sale. So far I’ve given away a little more than 270 books. Not nearly the numbers that I expect to have by the end of the sale (it usually takes a little bit for the books to get noticed, it seems), but not a [...]
So I’m doing a little Christmas sale type thingy. Using KDP Select for two of my titles that need a little love. I’m not making use of my regular publicist for these two, if only because I can’t seem to rally enough reviews for her to put to use. I don’t know how big it’ll [...]
This took a little longer than I thought…
Posted: 12th April 2012 by MJ Scott in Eye of Darkness, In The Widening Gyre, Janelle Becker Books, Jefferson's Road, Jonathan Munro Adventures, Spilled Milk, The Writing LifeHere’s the next installment of In The Widening Gyre. Chapter Ten My goal was to have chapter ten done as of yesterday, and be finishing chapter eleven today. Obviously, that didn’t happen. Part of it was the family’s insistence on watching a double feature last night, but the biggest reason was, I think, just being [...]

Posted: 4th March 2012 by MJ Scott in Eye of Darkness, The Writing LifeI have finished and released Eye of Darkness, and if you want to get a copy, it’s only $2.99 at Amazon and Smashwords (for non-kindle readers). While a fantasy novel is a little different from my “normal” fare, it’s still a thriller–just in a wildly different setting. At any rate, I hope you like it. [...]

All good things must come to an end, and finally, Eye of Darkness has done so! Woohoo! I have finished the book. 106,662 words and 55 chapters long. Now all that remains is to finish the map (and it’s a little different building one electronically than drawing it from hand) and drop it into the [...]

I’ve spent the last several days going through Eye of Darkness with a fine-toothed comb, clearing out some of my more problematic little “hobgoblins” and rewriting a few scenes that just didn’t click for me. And the good news is that I’m back on track with the novel, and rapidly closing in on the end. [...]
