A Few More

Only a few more weeks until the official release date of First. I feel like there’s still a lot left to do. However, I don’t think it all has to be finished by that date. The promotion will go on beyond October 10th, and in fact probably through the holiday season and beyond. I’ve committed to publishing Next Time in 2024 in order to give First time to breathe. And by that, I mean I don’t want to release a new book at the expense of another. Coming out in the last quarter of the year means I can do some promos for First during Black Friday and through the end of the year. Then I can concentrate on putting Next Time into the hands of readers who hopefully liked the first book and know my name.

When does that leave time to write? For the moment, it doesn’t. I expect the promotional efforts will continue past the book release in October and then I can ration it to part-time, taking some time back for writing. After all, if I’m going to keep publishing books then I have to have books to publish.
