kicking off April

You have my apologies for the lateness of this post. It’s been a constant back-and-forth battle with germs in our house lately…and the sickness is winning! Energy has been the one, major thing I’m lacking, so I’ve stayed away from writing, reading, and just about anything else that requires a great deal of focus and attention. No excuses, though. I abandoned you, and I’m sorry. Now, onward!

I always know it’s going to be a great day when I open my e-mail to find messages from two of my favorite guys (both eager to share what’s going on over on iBooks!). You see that cool picture there? Yeah! That’s a new international merchandising promotion that Apple iBooks launched this week in the US, Australia and New Zealand. This promo spotlights free series starters, and I’m one of the many lucky Smashwords authors featured this week.

The New Girl will always hold a special place in my heart. It was the first manuscript I ever finished and published, and I’m so happy to see it featured this week on iBooks. If you’ve read it and enjoyed it, please spread the word to your friends! It’s free, free, free, and it never hurts to take a chance on a freebie, right? :) While you’re at it, check out some of the other free series starters (categories include Mysteries and Thrillers, Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Paranormal Romance, and Teen Fiction). I already have my eye on a few of these freebies (and I plan to snatch them up as soon as we’re done here).

  • Breaking Walls is currently with the editor. Eek! Fingers crossed that at least half of the book is salvageable :)
  • I’m working on a  book synopsis to post on the blog. You’ll see that appear sometime this month. As always, I’ll post a link once the information goes up, but you can also keep an eye out if you’re anxious.
  • I’m super-excited about diving into the third and final manuscript in the series, but I’m trying not to get too deep into the first draft until I seen how things are going to shape up with the developmental edits this time around. All I can really tell you about book three is that it finally has a title. You’ll see a cover design for the final installment by month’s end (I hope!).

Have you heard? There’s more in store for Julie, Luke, and the rest of the Oakland gang. The Just a Little continuation, A Little Beyond, begins (and ends) this year. What’s the release schedule look like? Currently:

My goal is to have all three of these installments up for pre-order by the end of the month. Please keep a look out for updates!

A LITTLE CHRISTMAS MAGICThere have been some questions lately about the unavailability of the Christmas short story, A Little Christmas Magic. As this was a small freebie gift for my newsletter subscribers in December, it is not currently available for sale. However, it will be accessible soon, as it will serve as a lead-in to the next series. A Little Christmas Magic will be included at the beginning of the first A Little Beyond book (due August 31, 2014).

I’ve extended the ordering deadline through the end of April because there are still open orders. I have quite a few e-mails to respond to, books to ship, and royalties to collect before all the loose ends are tied up. I’m trying not to sign & ship while I’m sick. The last thing I want to do is ship my sick germs to any of you in a pretty, little box. Thank you for your patience and understanding. I’ll have the final total and details for you in the May post.

Last Tuesday I chatted with the ladies of First Draught. We talked about music and how it inspires the writing process. Like the sillies that we are, we decided to tackle this Google Hangout on April 1st, and it turned out to be a horrible Fool’s Day mess. We experienced about six billion technical difficulties, and I’m sure each of us said one or two things we shouldn’t have said on air. If you missed it, and you’re daring enough to watch, you can find our Music as Muse chat here:
