Amazon ad

Got some reads for Resurgent so either the ad or my group splashing is doing something.

I did an ad for Dragon Kin. There's been some reads there too.

Neither is a lot but at least it's something.

I watched the movie Knives Out. Loved it.  Murder mysteries are what I like to read most and I tend to watch movies more along those lines than others but I like horror almost as well. I read and watch a variety of stories/movies though.

Which is why my books are different genre. Urban fantasy, Dragon fantasy, sci-fi and the one I'm working on is supernatural mystery.  I had planned just to write one genre at a time but my forced hiatus dis-swayed me. I'm going to write the first book in the four series I have planned out, then do the second book of each.

So I have planned but you know what they say about plans. They don't always make it past the first engagement.

We shall see.

Raven Manor is still coming along nicely.  Another chapter down.  43 pages in. 9023 words.  Story took a turn. The new murder victim wasn't who I originally thought it would be. Another thought came to mind and took over. Those bunnies can be real forceful.

Resurgent is published

Both the ebook and the hardcopy are out.

I did an Amazon ad for a week or so. Hopefully I'll get some sales.

Ghostwolf or Raven Manor is still coming along nicely. It seems to be flowing a bit at a time. I've been reading it to Jan every few days and she says she likes it.

Sometimes I only write a paragraph or two, others a page. I don't push it. I just write whatever comes, then read a book if nothing else comes out. This is yet another style.

I decided to write however the story comes to me.

Dragon Kin hasn't had a read in a week. But I'll be getting a payment the end of the month. Less than$10 but at least I'll get one. 

I don't know if I want to do another ad for Dragon Kin to stir up interest or not.  I'm still thinking about that.

Cards are in

My new cards.

I still have my secondary cards which I'll still pass out but these have my new writer's name. 

Resurgent proof is being proofread. Still aiming for the end of the month.

Dragon Kin has stalled. No new reads for over a week.

Just updated my other blogs so check them out.

Raven Manor is coming along nicely. I started another chapter. Introduced a possible suspect and hinted at another.  I'm thinking about adding a bit of multiverse to this book.  A hint and see if anyone notices or if they think it's a mistake. 

:)

I've been reading Father Dowling mysteries as I write Raven Manor.  I have his two books with short stories. Some of the few hardcopies I have left.  I can read them over and over again. Love Father Dowling. Gets me in the mystery writing mood.


So far the Alliance bunnies and the supernatural bunnies are co-operating and the other bunnies are being quiet so I can work on Raven and Enmity.  I want to get them out next before I go back and do second Books.

New cards

I ordered new business cards with my new name on them. They should be here soon.

I decided to change my author name on my newer books. I revamped my writing style so I changed my name slightly.

T. L. Riffey instead of Tina. 

I had thought about using my fanfic name on them but decided that that was not a good idea. It should be a name that would be a good brand for the books.

My older books are still available. They are written in what I call"movie style", fast-paced action with little description. I will keep them available and finish the last book in the Elemental Voice series. But Mortal Voice series is on hold.

Dragon Kin is out and Resurgent is coming out at the end of the month. My next book is a supernatural mystery/thriller. An Alliance book is slated for after the mystery.  I have the second book of each series ready to start. Some of the covers are even done.

However I am still looking for names for villains. I like names that have meaning to them. I am thinking about having a contest to name a villian for one of my books. The prize would be a signed copy of that book and a beaded bookmark.

What do you think? It would be next year before I'd have the contest and who knows how long to write the book. But the beaded bookmark would be sent right away.

It was something I had on my mind.

Or I could use a placename for the main villian in the Alliance book and have a contest to name her. Hmm.

Well, have to think on that.

Proof is ordered

Resurgent is uploaded and proof should be here by Monday.  FB post is ready. So everything should be a go by the end of the month.

The supernatural mystery is coming along nicely.  I'm starting a new chapter. I might do the chapters different. I might actually name them. I've been thinking about that. I also have an actual title: Raven Manor. Book 1 of Hanlan &Canin. The working title is still ghostwolf.

I already have an idea for the second book.  And a title: The Lexicon Codex. 

Raven Manor cover is tentatively done. I have a picture for the second cover.

I get all these ideas and sometimes I have a problem following through. I have to pace myself.  I'm going to concentrate on ghostwolf as the main story and Enmity as the writer's block work. However that doesn't mean I won't write in the other books. Ideas hit me all the time.

Those bunnies are persistent.
