Progress!

So, it's been a very productive time of late. I've been doing a lot of writing on 'Lay Me Restless' and I think I'm probably about a third of the way through the first draft now. Maybe a little more. This is great news as there was no progress on it for such along time. It's flowing really well and I know exactly where the story's going.

Both 'Endless Tides' and 'In the Footsteps of the Behemoth' are selling pretty well too. I have business cards for them both now, to leave around in the name of 'awareness'. So, that might help a little more too.

I'm doing a talk at my old college next Monday. Collyer's in Horsham. It should be a good session. I'm talking to the Creative Writing class so I should have a very interested audience, and it should be a nice experience to go back there. I really enjoyed College and I'm looking forward to seeing how it's changed and being part of it from a different perspective.

So yeah, in short, it's all good at the moment.

New Year

Okay, so I'm a little late with this, but oh well.

I'll be honest, New Year is never a big deal for me. It's just kind of an arbitrary line where we start the cycle again. But, while that line's there, I may as well make some use of it. This year I need to get book 3 finished and published while doing some more promotion. My local promotion went really well last year, so I'm going to start off with a little more of that and then step up on the internet side. It's always a hard call how much time is enough and how much is too much, but I'm sure I'll get there with it eventually.

I got my sales for the last quarter today. Weirdly, 'In the Footsteps of the Behemoth' is selling quite well in America. I haven't done any special American promotion, so something I'm doing is working well, I'm just not sure what that is.

I'll write an update on book three soon.
