Even if things are changing fast, and you shouldn’t listen to too old advice, I think most authors, no matter if they are self published or not, agree on the fact that series sells. In this moment, I have 4 novellas sitting on my hard drive that are the first in a series ( Frosthold, […]
I have been eyeing Patty Jansen’s pre-made covers for awhile now, but it took me awhile to realise that one of her older cover would fit The Alchemist’s Apprentice perfectly. We finalised the purchase this morning, so I can show it to you. Isn’t it pretty? More importantly, doesn’t it want you to pre-order the […]
It is May 7th, and I am busy editing The Alchemist’s Apprentice. I should be done this weekend. ( Ideally tomorrow, but it depends.) Then it is time for a round of proofreading, then formatting, then upload to Amazon before May 22th. I have also contacted a cover designer about a pre-made cover for The […]
It is Wednesday, which means it is time for another teaser from The Cauldron Bound. I hope you like it! 🙂 Maybe it was some sort of illusion. He didn’t know much about magic, but common sense told him that if it was an illusion, it should disappear if he touched it. He ignored the […]
I took the last week off from writing, since I felt that I needed it. But now I am back, and getting ready to dive into the big project for the summer: Combining Daughter of the Dark and its sequel into one book. I am the first to admit that it is a bit daunting, […]
Since The Cauldron Bound is out July 1st ( or thereabouts), I have decided that it is time to tease you. Chapter one can be read here. ( And Chapter two is… somewere. I’ll post it next week.) But I am planning on posting random teasers from Chapter three for the next eight weeks. Aodh […]
Yesterday, I finished the draft of Vanished. It is a bit messy, but it is done at a smidgen over 10 000 words. I also looked at the schedule and what I had done during the last month. And decided that I needed a break. So I am taking the week off from writing. And […]
The publishing: First, Exile now has a permanent price of 0.99. The price has already dropped at Amazon, other retailers are coming during the next 2-3 weeks. Why? Because Kobo was charging 2.70, and since I want to charge 2.99 for The Cauldron Bound, I realised that was unsustainable. Plus, I decided a low price […]
I just finished the revisions for The Alchemist’s Apprentice based on Thirzah’s feedback. The feedback was brutal.” I like it, but I think it would work better if you focused on one character.” I cursed at her in e-mail but guess what? She was right. I cut one of the POV’s, yet the revised draft is […]
I have been pondering pre-orders for awhile, but I have been reluctant to make the Cauldron Bound available as pre-order since the point of self publishing is the flexibility, to be able to publish as soon as the formatting is finished. So I decided to give pre-orders a try with The Alchemist’s apprentice. Why? Because […]
