Just In Time For Christmas!

I know. It’s only June. But the book I’ve been promising, the one set around Christmas time, that should have been released near the end of the year holidays, is almost ready to be released. I’m bummed that I missed the Christmas release, and the Valentine’s Day release, and the mother’s day release, but, hey, it is what it is. The book just wasn’t ready.

But, soon . . . very, very soon, it will be. I’ve decided to use a new book publishing program and there has been a learning curve but in the long run, I think I’m going to be happier. And, now that I’m getting familiar with it, the next book in the series should go much faster once I get past the editing phase. Fingers crossed.

So, without further ado, here is the book cover and the teaser for Book One in the Family Ties Series: The Ties That Bind. Thanks to Jan for the series title suggestion and everyone who had input regarding the story and cover design.

That’s it for this week. Stay tuned for more exciting book news and teasers in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, how do you fellow writers handle set-backs for your anticipated release dates? Any ideas for how to market a Christmas book in the summer?

I’ve got more exciting things planned for the year that only my newsletter followers will know about. I promise you’ll only get 6 newsletters for the entire year, so I won’t clutter up your inbox.

Word of the Day: Obloquy

Fun fact about me: I always think the editing phase of the writing process will go faster than the actual writing. It never does.
