Book Giveaway

I love it when I get random messages from book lovers.

Tanya, a book blogger, reached out to me on Goodreads and asked if I would be interested in having her promote my book. Her blog A Book Paradise was celebrating its 3rd anniversary and she offered to do cover reveals, giveaways and excerpts. Would I be interested?

Of course!

I decided to particpate in an ebook giveaway and sent her all the relevant information for THE ENCHANTED ROSE. I’ll post the link to the blog once it goes live.

One of the best things about self-publishing is the community. Everyone is so supportive. I’m so proud to be part of it.

Happy anniversary Tanya & A Book Paradise!

July’s “To Do” List

I have a lot of projects that I want to work on during the month of July. It’s going to be a busy month. Here are some of the things I need to complete:

1-Misty Hills sequel

I have an Edit scheduled at the end of the month so priority goes to polishing up a respectable draft of the Misty Hills sequel. This novel has had its ups and downs. I’m not happy with the draft I submitted for the original edit so I have to focus on getting a quality copy out.

2-Camp NANOWRIMO 

Camp NANOWRIMOI’m going to use Camp NANOWRIMO to make sure I write daily. My project, YW #2, is the sequel to the novel I started last year and didn’t finish at last year’s camp (mentioned below). I’ve got a new set of KBoard people in the cabin so I’m looking forward to forging some new friendships.

3-YW Project #1

I have to rewrite YW Project #1. I’m starting with 28,766 words. The goal is to have a 60K manuscript by the end of the month.

4-Outline the third novel in the Misty Hills series

This is important because I may need to incorporate details into the sequel. If it’s not done correctly, I may be shooting myself in the foot. I’m a pants-er by nature so outlining will be a challenge but I read a really good book recently and I’m looking forward to incorporating the techniques I studies on to the third book.

Have I put too much on my plate? I think it is a lot but it will come down to time management. I have to start prioritizing writing to social functions. We’ll see if I manage to complete these four goals by month’s end.
