In case you missed my other announcements, I’m deep into a social media/email break/embargo while I get Conduit 1 off to my editor (aka SFG) for story editing. The first (full) draft is finished – yay! And the book is currently 100,099 words. Which is a little insane because I’m only four chapters into a smoothing pass and the editor hasn’t even weighed in!
The book/series/universe is getting slightly overhauled as I smooth it all and will be even more so when the editor makes his suggestions (which typically call for more words), so it is unlikely that I will continue posting a weekly Teaser Tuesday. I will, as always, share excerpts, but all my focus will now be on getting Conduit 1 ready for publication while I write Conduit 1.5 (selected shorts/novelettes) and brainstorm Conduit 2.
Thank you so, so much for your encouragement with this new story – new universe!! I hope to have the complete book in your hands as soon as possible (depending on the editor’s and the cover designer’s schedules). I’ll post a preorder as soon as I can guarantee publication.
And there will be art and character illustrations and other fun extras. I hope to get those all commissioned over the next month or two.
I still have some bookplates available, but only for a few more days. Again, other than the still pending Kickstarter fulfillment, it is unlikely I will offer autographed paperbacks for the rest of 2023. I have some fun plans for 2024 (🤞 ) but those will revolve around curated book boxes.
I will be focusing on digital/downloadable giveaways for the rest of 2023, and into 2024.
Fun! Fun!
This makes me both happy and sad, in equal measures! Lol. But if it helps you work more quickly, do what you need. I’m eagerly awaiting this first release!
Can’t wait to read the whole thing! Looking forward to all your fun plans too!
Love ❤️ this story!
So looking forward to reading the whole book!
Thank you so much for sharing these Teaser Tuesdays with us. It’s been wonderful getting a peek at a fresh story. I’m seriously looking forward to being able to enjoy the whole story, but I will miss these lovely little tastes.
