Catching up!

Not posted for over a week, first too busy finalising my latest short story and then submitting it to Torquere.

Then I couldn’t get on the Net for a few days when I lost my modem link, heck the trouble I had getting that sorted! No wonder it’s been in the news lately how much we spend on broadband ‘help’ lines!

Finally managed to start my next novel over the weekend – a fantasy this time. Had trouble getting my head around how to start it but all good now. At least I got the first few pages done.

Also my acceptance for the EPIC lists came through today so I’ll have to surf on there a bit later. Having been organising interviews plugging my writing too – it’s all go!

It seems published authors have to spend as much time promoting one book as they do trying to write the next one *sigh*

Promotion

Need to spread my wings a bit when it comes to promotion, so says my editor and I know she’s right. I had a novelette published last weekend, 28th July, and my novel is due to be released next Wednesday, 8th August. I’ve arranged to host a LJ day for my publisher’s social list this coming Sunday and to answer questions the following Saturday, again for the social list, both with a view to promoting my writing – and hopefully my sales!

I’m also going to join a variety of Erotic writer/reader organisations where I can ‘pimp’ myself and hopefully gain insight into how to increase my readership.
