Resolutions . . .

It's been a while since I've written a blog. Getting behind here . . . Therefore, I think that I need to make a few New Year's resolutions in regards to my writing. I don't mean the actual writing, though I have a few ideas on that as well. I mean on the marketing end. I am not good at marketing. I've never been very good at tooting my own horn. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I went to twelve years of Catholic school. You know, Pride is one of those seven deadly sins. I also come from a very superstitious family. You don't want to get too full of yourself because the second you start feeling like you're doing great something or someone will come along and knock you down a few pegs. So, I've got to get over that.

When Ribbons of Moonlight came out in 2011 I really had to push myself to let people know. Not only was it the whole don't brag thing it was also the--Oh my God, I wrote a romance novel. I was a little embarrassed by the whole romance thing. I read romance novels, started reading them years ago in order to see what my sister in law loved so much about them and found some wonderful stories. However, writing romance novels? I wanted to write fantasy. Loved fantasy, but romance?

Two fantasy novels into a trilogy--The Shattered Prism and Walking With Shadows--and I have another romance novel waiting in the wings. I've gotten over the romance thing. In fact, Ascent of the Fallen is going to be the anchor book to a much longer series. So, I resolve that I am going to really push my writing. I think I already dropped the ball on Capricon. I got so busy dealing with the holidays and incorporating common core that I missed the deadline for the panelists. Therefore, I have to really look at the online promo.

Which leads me to this . . . time to find three places to send my new book.

Adventure in Self-Publishing

So, I'm attempting something this summer that I've never before thought I'd attempt. I'm going to try to publish a couple of smaller pieces myself instead of going through my publisher. Now, that doesn't mean that I have anything against my publisher. I don't. I love my editor and I've had nothing but a positive experience with them. However, I've been hearing over and over at the various conventions I've gone to this year that indie, what used to be called self, publishing is the way to go to really earn money. Here's a fact of life in publishing, no matter the means....you need to spend money to make money. That doesn't mean that you pay a vanity press to publish your manuscript. No, a publisher should always pay you and not the other way around. What I mean is that the publisher or the author, depending on who is putting out the book, is going to need to pony up some cash for marketing. Now, unless you're Stephen King or your publish

And Promo is the Name of the Game

We're at T-2 days until the start of summer vacation. Ah yes, summer vacation....that time of year when I can have bathroom breaks when I want them, take more than 10 minutes to eat lunch and I can drink a pot of coffee after 3pm. Glorious days. Anyway, back to the point. This summer, I decided that in order to make a little money, I'll have to spend a little money. I heard something at the RWA (Romance Writers of America) Chicagoland Spring Fling this year, "you have to give away a bunch of books before you sell a bunch of books." Huh? That refrain, have free stories, novellas even novels up on Amazon was repeated over and over again. Of course, I thought, these are those people who can crank out two hundred pages in two weeks. That's not me. I am a slow writer. A book and a novella a year, maybe with another story tossed in, is as quick as I can write. Can I? Well, this got me thinking. So, during May I set aside the full-length novel I was working on (another

Girls with Spunk

Katniss. Hermione. Lessa. Polgara. Lady Macbeth. Alright, I'll even give you Jane Eyre, but I refuse to add Bella into the mix of heroines who I believe are really kick ass. Now, admittedly, most of them are grown women, so I don't think it's fair to really pull them into the mix. I'll stick to the girls in the group--Hermione and Katniss, and because she's their exact opposite in all ways, Bella. Think about it. Back when all we had were fairy tales told to scare children, the spunkiest of the fairy tale heroines was Gretal who had the wherewithal to shove the witch in the oven and free her brother. I suppose she was one of the first heroines who really took the story in her own hands and proved to the world that we were more than damsels in distress waiting languidly in some tower for Prince Charming to rescue us. Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White--all waiting around for a prince to come and save them. Or in Cinderella's case weeping for a Fairy Godmot
