12 Days from Launch

Happy Sunday,


And now, we wait...

This is arguably the worst part of being an author.... spending weeks, months, years waiting.... on vendors and automated processes that seem to take one eternity longer than the writing process itself. Though... I suppose it could be worse. In twelve days Montclair will be released to the wild, which gives rise to some anxiety if I am to be honest. Only because it's smaller project, tighter focus and pov, and a slightly different tone than book one. I hope that it is well received/appreciate the break in heaviness that TFAB held. I could have spent 600 pages in the minds of this cast of three, but today 310 will have to do. Each novella should add to the world, not compete with it...so there is some "strategery" behind the length. Can't wait for your reviews/feedback.

I'm guessing your reaction by the end will be:

Fun times ahead!

What else... Oh, I will be at Happily Indie After in Cincinnati, OH in August. Come say hello!

I will have signed copies of TFAB (both editions) and Montclair, as well as  bookmarks, stickers, etc. It is the first of many cons I intend to do so stay tuned for more info. Hope to meet as many of you as can make it.

Ok, off to writing, then grilling, then House of the Dragon.

Until next week,

-A
