My Writing Plan: Week of Jan 12

Posted on by

Due to a day-long trip to the ER for an exacerbation of my chronic back pain, I’m running late on this. Not much has changed since last week. I’m still on the final read-through of SwanSong, which is due for release on March 4th. I’m just over half done, and I’m honestly not finding anything to edit. I’ve set the official cover reveal for January 22nd, one week after the release of Wishes in a Bottle… but… if you’re an “In the Loop” Patron on my Patreon page, the really beautiful cover is posted there for you to enjoy before anyone else gets to see it 😉

IN OTHER NEWS……

NEW RELEASE! Wishes in a Bottle is being released on Tuesday, January 15th! This is my first release in EIGHTEEN (18) years! Truck Stop was originally published by a small press on October 9, 2001….. so as you can imagine, I’m about expiring with excitement.

Raffles! My current raffle for the coasters set for Wishes in a Bottle is ending tomorrow night, at the same time the new release is released! You can still enter here: http://bit.ly/RaffleWish3, and there’s of course my Filmora Raffle Trailer for it here on Youtube. There’s a new raffle starting on January 15th, I’ll post that as soon as I have it and yes! I’ll be having another Filmora Raffle Trailer for it! LOL! You can always see my new videos on my Youtube channel 🙂

Submissions I do still have a few submissions out there, but I don’t see anything changing my mind about self-publishing at this point, really. Okay, except an offer from Berkley. LOL. I could really go for an offer from Berkley. Who, by the way, has never heard of me 😛
