What A Wild Month!
January came and went and the release party for THE GROWING DARKNESS was an amazing success! Eighty folks showed up, many of whom had already purchased TGD and many more who hadn’t! 30 new readers during the party!
Meanwhile, I spent quite a bit of time with BOOK II. Cajoling the next phase of the plot into 180,000 words was a momumental task. To do it in less than 45 days was really taxing but it’s been through beta reads, two rewrites, and now is OFF TO THE EDITORS!
Once again the folks at Writer’s Journey Services are busy picking apart every plot hole. The disambiguation of the plethora of violations to characters and story is pretty stressful but a necessary part of the process. Hopefully this manuscript is in better shape than the last one when I fired it off the first time.
The scheduled release is June 30th and I hope we can hit that date.
It still hasn’t hit me that THE GROWING DARKNESS is a reality. I thought it would by now but it still seems like a fantasy (pun intended). Let’s hope the release of Book II is less bumpy. I made so many mistakes that first time around.
By the way: if you are looking for author authors, I’d like to point you in the direction of a few I’ve had the great fortune to become freinds with. I put links to their IG/Threads here for you.
