With the changes taking place with Createspace, I’m changing the covers and updating my paperbacks since Amazon is closing down Createspace. Over the rest of this week, I’ll finish the cover updates. Once the books go live again, I’ll update the buy links for the paperbacks here on my web page.

So, I’m working on a book four for Dyalessia Games since Kitty from Melody’s and Sarah’s book decided she wanted to return. Anyhow, at the moment I’m about 7,000 words into my usual 50,000+. My goal is to finish this book around the middle of October. I don’t see any reason why I’ll not hit my target date, but things may happen.

After this book, I might be able to squeeze one more out before the end of the year, but if not then the book will come out early January. As far as I know at this point, this will be book two of Rain’s first trilogy.

Once 2019 begins, I’ll know more about my plans for the five books I hope to release in the new year.

With book one of Rain’s first trilogy being published, I’ve updated the section for the first book. So, Rainy Day’s Overcast section of my site now has the book cover, and the blurb. When the e-book and paperback versions go live, I’ll add the where to buy links.

I believe I should have the rest of the book written by the end of the upcoming week, and then I’ll edit it and send it off to my reader. I think I should have it up for sale by late Sunday night of next week, as usual.

July has been a busy month, so I slipped my mind to post my two week updates on how my current book is going. Since I have time this weekend, here is the update post. Having reached 38k towards the 50k word count I tend to stick with for each of my books, I should have this new one done in about three weeks.

I also added new links to the paperback versions of my books on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Since I combined the first three books of Dyalessia Games into one E-book, I’ve also made a new header at the top of my web page for boxed sets.

Anyhow, I’ll be back with another book update in about two weeks. I might also have my cover for Rainy Day’s by then. If I do, I’ll post it in the first section for the new trilogy.

It was a year ago on July 11th when my first book for Dyalessia Games went live on Amazon. When I first published the book I spent eight months writing on and off when I found the desire to work on part of Alexandria’s and Christie’s story, and how the two would meet each other and fall in love with one another.

During the last year, I’ve learned a lot more about self-publishing compared to what I thought I knew when I released the Dyalessia Games book one. Although a year has passed, I’m still learning new things about writing my books, how to market them, and what it takes to get people to notice I have books for sale on Amazon.

As far as I know, writing my stories is something I’ll continue to do for as long as I’m able to do so. I know I have plenty of ideas, characters, scenes, worlds, etc, which I’d like to write about, so I expect I’ll publish my usual five books a year from now on.

Anyhow, this post is getting long. So I will wrap this up. I know I don’t write perfect books, but I try my best to make each book the best I can with editing, grammar, etc. Still, I’m not perfect, and I’m sure I made mistakes in the books I have for sale, and I’m also sure I’ll make mistakes in the books I plan on publishing. All I can say is I’ll try to fix those mistakes, if I feel they are problems which need fixing.

For those who have bought my books over the last year and enjoyed the stories I’ve written so far, I hope you stick around and read the other books I will publish. Knowing someone out there has read my books and is waiting to read more of what I’m writing is one of the most awesome feelings I can have as an author.

So, thank you all for taking an interest in the books I’ve written over the past year, and I have more stories to write.

It’s time for my two week update on my writing progress. With the amount of words I’ve done since my last post, I’ve hit 22k words out of the 50kish words I have as a goal for this book. Somehow along the way, I added the extra 2k words. So, at this point, I’m ahead of my writing goal.

Next week I should hit the mid-point of my new book, which means there will be five weeks left after next week to wrap this story up. By then it’ll be August, and time for one last book for the year.

I’ve already decided on what the next book will be. Here’s a teaser: The women of Dyalessia Games will return, and there will be a new story between two others who want part of their story told.

I don’t know where the time went but it seems as if I’ve spent two weeks working on my new book already. Last night I hit 10k words done out of the 50k total for my word count goal, which means I have about eight weeks before this new book is finished.

Also, I decided to talk about the music I write to for each book. So far, this book is all about Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet. Last book was written listening to Ozzy’s No More Tears.

I’ll be back with another update in two weeks.

Amazon was quick to put my book live. So, book three of Bastet’s Daughters can be found at: link. I’ve also revised my web site, putting all the info about the book in the area dedicated to book three.

After the run to the emergency room this week, my health issue is better but not gone. However, I managed to edit the parts of book three of Bastet’s Daughters I’ve written so far, and the edited pages have been sent to my beta reader. During the rest of this week, I plan to finish the last scene or two I didn’t get a chance to finish during my writing this week. Once those passages are edited and beta read, I’ll send the book to Amazon. I think everything should come together by the middle of the week.
