GoodReads Giveaway! (Begins Jan 18)

 

GoodReads Giveaway!

(Jan 18 - Feb 6)

Rewritten I: Fallacy AND Rewritten II: Veracity

SIGNED ADVANCE/PROOF COPY OF VERACITY to celebrate this KickStarter! (Winner may choose either a proof or final copy of Rewritten I: Fallacy. The copy will be signed.)

* FALLACY *

A scientist mad with grief; a mother trying to escape guilt; a little girl's worst nightmare; a mistake with unforeseen consequences.

What if your life--your world--your memories--were a lie?

Keep your head down. They're listening.

* VERACITY *

Lies protect Haven. There are only so many ways to hide--trickery and deceit are her only options. Each time she finds a new family, she knows it will only be a matter of time before she's found out.

Only one truth has lasted throughout her life: there is no home for someone like her.

She's running out of hiding places.

*

Rewritten I: Fallacy will be available as a free ebook via Amazon from February 2 to February 4.

*

Though Veracity is not scheduled for release until June, the winner of this giveaway will receive the first proof copy of Veracity (estimated March 2013).

New KickStarter



Everyone has their own motivation; everyone has a reason to obscure the truth. Fallacy set the mysteries in motion. In Veracity, the deceptions begin to truly unravel and unveil the truth; by the end of Defiance, each character finds the answers they need.

Complete the series and resolve the remaining mysteries.

Now that I've wrapped up everything with my old KickStarter, I'm launching a new one! Check it out!

Rough Drafts

This is just a quick update to say that the rough drafts for all four of the books in the first arc of my Qol books are complete and are either with or being sent to editors right now. I'm working on a few novellas at the moment, all four of which will hopefully be complete by the end of the month. If I focus on editing until mid-March next year, I hope to be able to release a short story bundle, novella, or novel at least once every month for the remainder of the year. I'll be sure to keep you updated as I do so!

In other news, I'm not totally sure whether the second arc will go exactly as I'd expected. It depends on whether I end up deciding that a particular subplot needs to be cut. If it does, then the following story line will change rather drastically. That may result in fewer books being needed to wrap up all of the loose ends, but it may result in other subplots cropping up, so I can't say anything for sure just yet.

Regardless, I've been making great strides and am several months ahead of where I'd planned to be by this point. If you want to know more details, please feel free to ask! I'd be happy to elaborate.

National Novel Writing Month

First of all: A number of backers have yet to respond to the surveys about their rewards. All of the rewards that can be fulfilled at this point in time have been; those that aren't yet filled are either in the works, or have not yet been requested. If you're waiting on your special reward, please check to make sure you sent in your survey!

With that out of the way, November is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). I've been hard at work this month, and I've not only finished rewriting book three ahead of schedule, but I've also written a lot of new short stories for a series of bundles (and, ultimately, a paperback) to be released over the next year.

If you're curious about my progress, you can track my daily word count here. Some days are more productive than others, but I've been progressing at a steady clip. If you want to convert the word count to a page count, 250 words per page is generally held as the standard, as I understand it.

For those interested in this month's project, I'll include summaries and sample covers under the cut.

Progress Report 17: Audiobook COMPLETE!



All backers have now received their copies of the audiobook, which has also gone on sale on at least one website! As more go live, this site should be updated.

The audiobook is really strong, I think, and I feel honored to have worked with the people at Open Book Audio on this project! I hope that other people enjoy the results as much as I have.

All but the very last rewards have been fully taken care of! I'm still waiting on survey responses to fill the last of the rewards. With luck, I'll be able to fulfill those within 24 hours of hearing back from everyone! It has been incredibly exciting to go through this journey.

As this project finishes up, I might start using this blog to talk about other projects that I'm working on at any given moment. Some examples are under the cut.
