Change to Format
I’ve decided on a new shorter format for my blogs. I don’t think anyone is reading them the way I’ve been writing them. If you object or have another idea, feel free to let me know. But I’m doing it this way for now and maybe forever.
The Stuff Your Kindle Events Results
I finally checked the number of new subscribers for my newsletter, and it was 42. I’m calling that a win. If anyone who downloaded my books during the event looks at and reads VioleNt, they'll find the message inside about how to subscribe and download Origin of Violet by subscribing to the newsletter. Or they can buy it on Amazon, which many people have chosen to do. Which is fine with me, I have it priced at just .99 cents since I don’t offer it on KU.
WIP Update
Vile, the final book in Violet’s Tales is with my editor who's hard at work fixing my mistakes and ramblings. I’ve started writing Deadly-Go-Round and I’m about halfway through. It’s a short story/novella and it’s straight up horror no romance. Just lots and lots of murder.
Important Information for Publishing
Copyright your work. No matter what, always file for your rights to the ownership of your work, BEFORE you let anyone else read it.
Make sure you have a contract with your editor. Yes, even if it’s someone you trust. It’s important for both of you to be covered, money expectations in writing make sure there’s no confusion. Exactly what’s expected from both parties needs to be clearly outlined in writing and signed by both parties. Thank me later!
ARCs for Vile
I’ve made an ARC sign up form for Vile, but I’m wondering what to do about handing out copies to strangers. Once again there’s been a big blow-up over an ARC reader handing out copies, she was given for the sole purpose of ARC reading to others. Piracy in other words. I don’t know if the author is going to pursue a lawsuit, but other authors associated with the woman are up in arms and very angry. I’m planning the release for Vile on March 28th barring any unforeseen barriers.
Fellow Authors
I finally had a chance to include my author friend, Peter Lancellotti in a newsletter. It’s my upcoming edition which I'll probably send out next week. I hope he enjoys how I included his information, he’s so funny and kind.
I’m considering making it a regular thing to include another author in my newsletter. I'll let you know what I decide.
Feel the Heat Book Signing Event Tampa, July 12, 2025
I’m a participating author at the event this year and it’s going to be my first in person event. I’m excited and A little nervous. I just uploaded my event preorder form and i'll keep you posted on how it works out as things move along. I ordered a tablecloth, and signs. I’m making some phone dangles and bookmarks.
The preorder form goes through a website used by many events, Beveneti.com I struggled with it, but once I tried on my laptop it went smooth. It looks nice, I’ll put a link below.
I’m doing another show, Flirty in Tampa, August 9th! Link to tickets below. You can also join the Facebook Group for both events just do a search for the attendee groups.
