The Savage Queen Revisited

My mother lent a copy of The Savage Queen to a neighbor. On the weekend, I met a young man named Elijah who I guess is a "fan." Elijah wants to make me a new cover for the book (an area that has always been lacking).

Well. I've always said I write for my readers, however many, and not money. One fan (well, maybe a couple more) and all of a sudden I have the writing bug again. Its been awhile. And that's a bug I have missed.

So. I have decided to publish a new second edition of The Savage Queen; I am working on a fresh edit, cleaning up a few things I wasn't happy with. Bits of grammar or scenes that always felt a bit off. Nothing that changes the overall story. And hopefully, if everything works out, it will have a nice new cover.

My plan this time is to focus on the ebook. The paper copies will still be available, but ebooks are more affordable (and, I admit, I get a better cut).So I am hoping to publish two ebooks:

1. Realm of the Flower. This will be a free ebook, containing most of the first half of The Savage Queen, ending somewhere around the battle of the Watch
2. The Savage Queen (2nd edition): This is the full ebook. Im hoping to price it around $5-7.

I'm going to do my best to get the free ebook out there as much as possible, hoping the battle at the Watch is good enough to get some people hooked enough to buy the full book.

And as this plan is rolling... maybe, just maybe, I'll again be working on book 2: The Iron King

Happy New Year

THIS is the year I start writing. Here, there, everywhere.

Kenny is five. A little man. Argues everything I say. But he's reading, and arguing, and adding, and arguing, and drawing and writing and arguing...

Josie is two. She cuddles, mumbles, get the odd word right, and acts like someone has taken away human rights every time they say no.

I'm working. And trying to write, but failing.

THIS is the year. Damnit.
