Progress How Novel 42

 The Dragon's Keeper, Deadly Flames, the collection of 3 short stories, and the redone cover for Dragon Kin are still in the queue to be done. The collection and cover should be done first while the two books should be done before the end of the year. 

One of my older ads for my older books resulted in a sale. And they bought the two sequels. So I made a small profit so far this month.  Bryan Cohen's ads challenge has helped lot at getting my books out there. Now if people would just buy more :) 

Still haven't decided on a cover for Ghostwolf book 2. Even did a different cover. So that makes four covers. This is the fourth cover. What do you think? With or without the book? If I go with this one I'd have to redo the cover for my first book. Which I already have an idea for. :) 

I have four books open right now. Book 2 of the Ghostwolf Series, first book of the Song Saga, Book 4 of the Elemental Voice Series, and Book 3 of the Fallborn Series. Can't seem to keep my mind on one book for long so I'm hopping around the four books. Hopefully I'll have at least two of them done by May 2022 which is when I next plan to publish after these last two books. 

I write a little every day. Even if it's only 200 words. Doesn't matter how much you write, just that you do. A book doesn't write itself--well in a way it can, but you have to put the words down. Carve out an hour and write. I have out over 10 books since 2015. Granted I don't think they are all 5 stars (what writer does?) but I did get them written. 

So write!

Sent in the 3 short story collection. Added it to the queue.

The Dragon's Keeper and Deadly Flames is still in proofreading mode.

Been doing the Amazon 5-day Profit Challenge this last week as I said. Yesterday was the last day. Still have a live coaching session tomorrow to watch. Did The Last Dragon Kin for it. Got a few clicks but no sales. Decided to revamp my cover. It's rather plain jane and I'm sure people can tell it's homemade.  The new one is too, but it's much better constructed. It's been added to the queue too.

So while I was on Canva, I did all four covers for the Fallborn Books that I have ideas for. TLDK and TDK are written, though only TLDK is published right now. The Dragon's Keeper will be soon. 

Also been working on Ad copy for TDK and Resurgent. Getting ready to make ads for them.

The rest of the year is going to be taken up by writing. I'm going to finish Book2 of the Ghostwolf Series and work on Book 3 of the Fallborn Books as well as the first in the Song Saga.

I think I've loaded enough books on Sharon for the year.

Besides I still haven't decided on the cover for Book 2 of Ghostwolf.

 Finished the third story for the short story collection. Still thinking about adding a bonus story or two. Only have 30 pages right now. But nothings coming to me right  now. I had the three in mind and did them but now I'm stumped about what the bonus story would be. But feel like I should add another or two. Yet I'm drawing a blank. 

Still thinking about the cover for the next Fallborn book. The dragon is fixed, but the background. I don't know what I want there. This one is more magical and based more in a town/village. Got to find something elemental too as the MC is an Earth Voice. So still working on it.

The Dragon's Keeper and Deadly Flames is still in proofreading mode. And still working on blurb for TDK.

Also this week was the first part of the 5 Day Amazon Ad Profit Challenge. Using The Last Dragon Kin book.

So been very busy this week. But have the weekend to catch up with everything.

Been thinking a lot about a lot of things this week.

Still haven't decided which of the three covers I want for Debts. I like them all. As I said I wish I could use all three and let the reader decide which they want when they order. But I got time to decide. Maybe I'll see something else that I like better for the cover. :)

 Been working on the short stories for the collection. 

Two down and writing the third. I'm thinking about adding a bonus story. These are really short stories. I'm thinking about set the price at $1.99. Won't get much in royalties but it might take off and maybe readers will try my other books. 

Thinking about the cover for the next Fallborn book. I don't have a title yet either, just a file name. 

Still working on TDK blurb.

So have been busy these last few days. 

Wrote a few words in Debts. Have three different covers. I like them all for different reasons. Still have time to decide but stressing anyway. Too bad I can't use all three and let the reader decide which they like. :)  

Fini!

 The Dragon's Keeper and Deadly Flames are done!

Sent for proofreading.

Had an idea for a group of short murder mystery stories. 3 to be exact. A short story collection book. Centered around cards. Did a cover with the inspiration pictures. What do you think?

Debt is over 26,000 words. 

Wrote a bit on Debts. Mostly working on The Dragon's Keeper(TDK) and Deadly Flames(DF). About 90% done on TDK and 95% on DF. Had an idea hit me with TDK so I had to do a little finagling.  Have about a chapter and a half to go with DF. 

Blurb mostly done for DF. Just need to finesse it. Got to do a copy/hook for it. To grab attention.

Still working on blurb for TDK.

Both covers are done. Have been done for a long time. I have a tendency to do the covers as soon as I have the book idea. Sometimes I change them later, sometimes I don't. And I don't always follow convention.

I sold a few books and got some reads, mostly Raven Manor. My spending on ads is small, thanks to Brian Cohen's free ad challenge knowledge.  He's having another one this month and I'm going to do it again, this time with Resurgent since I don't have a new book out yet. 

After Debts, the Alliance book and the Song Saga book are up next along with book 3 of the Ghostwolf Series. Time-Lost book is hanging in there, nagging at me. So many books begging to get written. 

The future can take care of itself. I'm going to be working on the three I have open now and worry about the others later.
