Another

As astute readers might have noted, a couple of days ago I completed my editing of Next Time. That’s three - yes, three - books I’ve finished writing in the last 21 months.

After finishing the final run-through, I went for a run. Naturally, my thoughts were about the book and what to do next. I’m not ready to start writing another one yet when I have several in need of publishing. My thoughts bounced around and I came up with what I thought was a great idea: publish a sample on this website.

So, I did. I spent a little time Saturday afternoon going through the first chapter one more time to make sure it read well, and decided I should post three chapters instead of only one. I think that gives a nice glimpse into the characters and where the story’s headed. I’ll leave it up for a month or two and gauge how much interest there is and what kind of feedback I receive.

With three books ready to unleash on the world, what’s next? We’re almost a third of the way through the year and I’ve made no progress on publishing. My plan is to try again with a hybrid publisher, explore some independent publishers, and if nothing comes of those, form my own imprint and self-publish. I’ve done it before and I can do it again. And this time resources are much more available. Let’s see where the next few weeks take me.
