Writing Update

I promised a work update, so here it is.

In late January, I received an email from my publisher stating that all of their authors were being released from their contracts. What does that mean? Well, three main things, at least as it pertains to me. One, my books will be going out of print. Two, the rights to those books will return to me. That basically means that what happens to those stories is completely in my hands now.

And that leads to the third thing. I will be self-publishing those books as well as their related, previously unpublished, sequels in the upcoming months.

Right now, I’m doing my best to learn about self-publishing. I’m finding there’s a lot more to it than I ever dreamed. I’ll try to write up a few behind-the-scenes posts as I go along so you can see what I mean.

My current goal is to have Magick Charm published again on April 1. After that, I’ll be working on getting Practically Dreaming back for sale. I’ve been asked about sequels to MC, and they’re coming, I promise! I’ve got a novella on the way as well as at least two more novels in that series. Likely, I’ll also be writing a novella as a sequel to PD, but that’ll be a little ways farther down the road.

Update

            Okay, I admit it’s been an age since I blogged. I have reasons (read: excuses), but they don’t really matter. I’m back and I’m writing!
            A lot has been happening since my last post!
  • I gave myself a wicked case of writer’s block, then kicked it.
  • I moved to a new house – it’s right across the parking lot from the last house, but that doesn’t mean the move was any less hideous.
  • I went on the Atkins diet, lost a ton of weight, but had to quit it. Who knew Atkins wasn’t so good for depression?
  • I have a new godson! Connor is just as perfect as his brother, Marcus, and I couldn’t be prouder of them.
  • Pele is growing up – she’s almost two now – and Morgana and Luna continue to be beautiful and sweet.
  • I'm back at pottery class, which means my sanity is returning!
  • I visited a few new cities: Niagara Falls, Gatlinburg, Atlanta, and Chattanooga.
  • I turned 40!

Niagara Falls
Yep, that's a lot of water.
