Month: January 2014

An Effective Writing Day

by

Now this has been a satisfying day. I worked on three different projects today, starting off with 458 words on The Blood-Eater Coven, Book 2 of The Dragon’s Eye Cycle. That doesn’t seem like much, but the story is progressing nicely. I’m nearly fifty percent done.

Next, I spent a considerable bit of time working on Anarchy, Book 2 of the New World Order series. I cranked out  2358 words on this one, finishing chapter five and at least half of chapter six. I’m sure to get comments from my youngest, Rachel, who is my BETA reader for the book when I see her in the morning.

And after enjoying an episode of Sleepy Hollow, I concluded the evening with another 550 words on Descent, wrapping up chapter thirty-one and starting chapter thirty-two.

All told, I’ve written 3,366 words today. Not too shabby. I’m still way off pace for the month, but it felt good to get back into the swing of things and churn out some content.

In the meantime, books are continuing to sell from the promotions I’ve been doing. This next week there will be three running. One on Wednesday, one on Thursday, and a final on Friday. I’m looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Eye of Darkness Taking Off?!

I know, I know: I keep bragging about how well these books are doing. But seriously, this is pretty stinking cool:

 

 

 

I’ve barely promoted this book! But it’s taking on a life of it’s own. Special thirst for fantasy? Or is it just that the rock is starting to move a bit. I guess we’ll see how things play out in the next couple of weeks.

So, here are the stats as these promos have played out now for the past two weeks:

2-Jan Topheth 166
3-Jan Turning 181
9-Jan Spilled Milk 299
10-Jan Eye of Darkness 682

And that’s only as of this afternoon!

Not sure what this means long term, but I’m gaining some hope.

UPDATE:

Still climbing! It’s now almost 5:30. I’m starting to think we might break the Top 100 overall, or maybe even higher!

 

Topheth is FREE today

by

I’ve started my 2014 book selling campaign with a FREEBIE – Topheth, the sequel to The Coppersmith, is free today only at Amazon.
Topheth
Janelle Becker is back. This time she’s assigned to Rochester, New York, where a serial arsonist is burning churches. His targets pass racial and religious boundaries, and his message of judgment becomes peculiarly focused on Janelle herself in this dark thriller.

Can Janelle and Curtis find this arsonist before he traps them both, or will their new-found passion for each other leave them burned?

Feel free to grab a copy and leave a kind word if you like it. 🙂
