Adventures on the Horizon!

Good day to you, Champions! Today is something of a newsy update and it’s a little vague because I don’t have any solid details at the moment so I apologize in ahead of time–I just couldn’t keep my news from you any longer!

First off I’m excited to announce that a reader-turned-editor is joining my team. She goes by Sunshine, which is pretty ironic considering how her corrections make me weep. Sunshine will help me by combing over both the Robyn Hood books. I recently took a glance at my Robyn Hood stories and noticed that the quality of editing is sub-par compared to my other stories. I know I took less time to edit the Robyn Hood books because I was rushing to release them, but that’s not a good excuse. I’m very much indebted to Sunshine for going over my books, which she will hopefully get a start on this upcoming week. I’ll announce when I have corrected versions available for purchase, and when I get a release dates hashed out I will announce what days I plan to offer the Robyn Hood books for free in promotion of King Arthur and her Knights.

Next up, I am planning to borrow off Life Reader and have a promotional contest for King Arthur and her Knights. I’m not sure yet what the contest will look like, or even what the prize will be, so if you have any ideas or if there is a certain kind of prize you would like offered (Within reason obviously) please send me an email or comment below!

Finally, I’m still looking to expand my team with one to three previewers. Previewers would be given (free) reading copies of my books before I release them. She/he would be asked to read it, and then leave a honest review on Amazon shortly after I upload the book. I would give the previewers a week or two to read the book before I released it on Amazon. If it sounds like something you’re interested in please send me an email!

Have a merry weekend, Champions! Next week I’ll give you a progress report for King Arthur and her Knights!

Extra Chapter Available

Good day to you all, Champions!

The characters who show up in the extra chapter of Life Reader have been officially named as the prize of the Spread the Secret contest!

Sara named the Bakertown city official, Stanley Whalberg and Tiffany named the second page turner trainee, Violet Rockette

You can meet Stanley and Violet in the extra chapter of Life Reader. All you need to do is review Life Reader on Amazon and fill out the contact form in the contact me section with a valid email. I’ll send you an email with the chapter in a PDF and/or word document format. Thank you to everyone who participated in Spread the Secret!

In honor of Life Reader I have some library trivia to share! The two largest libraries in the world are the Library of Congress and the British Library. Both libraries have approximately 150 million items in the library, and both receive approximately 1.75 million visitors a year. The third largest library in the world is the New York Public Library, which has over 53 million items in its collection. However, it has 87 branch libraries and boasts a whopping 18 million visitors a year. Compared to those libraries, the fictional Saint Cloud is quite small, huh?

Life Reader: Wow

Today I’m closing up shop for some of the Life Reader events!

First of all, Spread the Secret is officially over! The winners are Sara and Tiffany–they’ll be getting an email from me shortly in which they have the chance to name a Life Reader that will appear in the extra chapter, and the next Life Reader book. (I plan to start writing book two this fall, so it’s pretty safe to say it will be available by Christmas.)

Talk Shop is still running, so if you want to read the extra chapter of Life Reader review it, send me an email, and once Sara and Tiffany name their character I will email you the chapter.

Finally, Life Reader did fantastic during it’s five free days! Yesterday it reached number 14 for free YA fantasy books, and 34 in the free urban fantasy section. To those who are here because they read Life Reader, welcome!

Thank you, Champions, for participating in the contests! Stay tuned for more information on my next book, and the next Life Reader book.
