Slow But Steady Wins the Race

No excuses. Yes, family distractions play their role, but this last episode has been going slowly because I’ve been discovering the plot and how multiple story lines fit together. As they say in the manufacturing sector, “Do you want it fast, or do you want it good?”

Looking at the date, I’m not even going to look hopefully at finishing by end of February. However, I’m sure I will be finished by end of March. I’m about halfway and the story has taken shape and shown me which of the various threads is the main plot. Now to throw in a twist, Muahahahaha!

As much as I’m sad to see this series end, I’m really looking forward to working on some other projects. I’ve got three stand alone books I want to get done, then we’ll see what happens next. I have ideas churning in the background.

Will I do another series? Maybe. It’s a long commitment. For the moment, my attention is focused entirely on finishing this one. It has been gaining momentum on sales and I’m hoping that will continue to increase, so tell your reader friends! Please, leave reviews on your retailer’s websites, and especially on Amazon and Goodreads, even if they’re short. Ask your local library to order the paperbacks in. The second volume will be released very quickly after the e-book of this last episode.

Some people like to wait until a series is finished before they start reading. I can appreciate that. Who wants to wait for long periods of time for the next episode? I think we’ve all suffered through that on a favored series.

I will be spending some time on marketing when the completed series is released. I’ve been studying the right and wrong ways to do that. You’ll see more of me around social media for a while, but I won’t spam. Promise!

Any help you, my readers, can manage through spreading the word and leaving those reviews is appreciated from the bottom of my soul. After all, word of mouth is the best advertising there is. Also, the best way to see more stories from me sooner is to get this series gaining momentum so I can spend more time writing instead of marketing.

Please do keep sending me feedback. All the messages I’ve had on Twitter and Facebook are deeply appreciated. It makes me happy to know readers are enjoying my work.
