April so far

      April so far is going well; I have been getting some writing done. I also have been trying to do more to promote my books. I have also done one event so far this month (April 13th), I have another one this coming weekend (April 21st). I sold seven books at this last event two sets of all three books that are currently out, and one of the first book (New Life By The Full Moon).      I have been working on book four of the Ann Smith series which I believe is the last book of the series. I have also been working on rewriting my vampire book Nirvash, a vampire's tale. along with that book I am writing a companion book about Lovebug, the vampire kitten's life.       I have been doing the normal promoting stuff, like scheduling posts on my social medias. I have also started a reading group but it's not going well so far. But I am hopeful it will get better. I am looking into getting some other kinds of swag to possible help get the word out about my books. Oh, I almost forg

So far this March.

 I have only done one event at the beginning of the month. It was a first event for the hosts, so there is room for improvement. It was not really that bad. I made 4 sales which was pretty good.   I have been writing on a new story that is tied in to a vampire book I unpublished because it needs a lot of work. But it going well, I also have been working on book 4 of my Ann Smith series. I am still unsure if I will publish it. To help with my writing I have been taking part in some writing sprints with other authors. I find it helpful especially when I have a question on wording.  My next event is April 13th at the Highland Illinois knights of Columbus. It is with a host I have worked with before so it should be a good event.  I know this is kind of short but I haven’t had a whole lot to update you all on. Hopefully the will be more to update you on. Happy reading  Happy writing 

This month is hard.

    I am having a rough month, the only event I had this month was on the 3rd. it did not go as planned, it was a slow event. No one really showed up to it, I did sell 2 books that day. I have been trying to write more, but it isn't going as well as I would like but I am getting words on paper so to speak. I am also dealing with some health issues; I will be OK I just need to get through this.         But I am still moving forward with my writing, scheduling events I am taking part of and promoting my books, events. I know this is not the most thrilling information, but this is my life. I write this blog to let people who want to do anything creative as more than a hobby that sometime life can effect what you are doing more than you could ever think possible. But I do not give up on my dreams. life can be a pain some time, but it doesn't mean you stop. I will get back to writing happy reading happy writing

November recap

   November was an OK month for me, no book sells but had time with family and friends. The start of the month mostly consisted with getting some corrections from one beta reader. Which was very helpful, and minimal suggestion from another beta reader who didn’t seem to really want to help me. So I have been trying  to get everything else done so I can publish book 3, I am still hoping for the end of the month but it’s looking like it might be the beginning of the new year.    The middle of the month I was still working on the corrections but took a small break and was the photographer at a friend’s wedding. I took some time and edited photos for her so she had some really nice pictures. I also did a bunch of promotional stuff for all the books I have out plus the one I am trying to get published.     The end of the month was of course Thanksgiving and spent the day spending time with family and trying to enjoy their company. I finished up the corrections and made a few changes that I

October is almost over!

 I can’t believe October is almost over! I had two events that happened this month. At the beginning of the month I had Archon. That was a three day sci-fi convention and I believe I made six sales which isn’t horrible but it is not the best i have done there. I had another event a few days ago and made two sales. Again not the best  but still better than nothing.  I get to take a short break from events, i have been working on promoting book 3 and work on the edits, work on covers, everything I need to do so I can get it out hopefully before the end of the year. At the latest the beginning of next year. I have been working hard on that stuff on top of that i am having some health issues. Don’t worry it is nothing too bad but I need to get all the test done so I can get treatment started. Starting in December I will be doing vender events again. I am hoping to get two a month set up so i can get my books out there for you all. I need to get back to work Happy reading  Happy writing
