I'm meeting with my editor, the fabulous Evelyn Cammon, tomorrow to review, what I believe to be, the final edits for Relentless Blades: Volume 1. It's been a long and winding journey, but it's nearing its end.
Once I finalize the edits, I'll be lining up a formatter to get the book in shape for both Kindle uploads and for physical purchases. The final step will be to hire my cover illustrator. I have an artist in mind, and she does fabulous work. I'm beyond excited about that!
I'm trying to figure out my launch and marketing strategy now. I don't mind saying it's a bit daunting. You spend years writing, editing and perfecting the work, but not really thinking about how to get it out there to the largest audience. It's a whole different skill set to go from writer to marketer.
I'm looking forward to the challenge. I'm still targeting a fall 2024 release which would put it at almost exactly two years from when I first sat down to commit words to the page.
Unfortunately, between my real job which is getting very busy and finalizing the edits and thinking about marketing, I have not been writing as much as I'd like for Book 2. I constantly think about it though, and will get back to it
Cheers!
