You can&#8217;t know how excited I am. To be an actual, real, published author. \u00a0Who&#8217;s sold 4 copies of the book already (which is more than Grimaulkin sold in its entire year-long existence). We&#8217;ll cut the price at some point, run some sales, try and get Bookpub to run an ad at .99 (after the second\u00a0book comes out)&#8230;Marketing strategies, doncha know.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve done some editing on War Mage, but it seems that I&#8217;ve had to rewrite the entire thing. I&#8217;m a little under half-way through and have had to do some extensive rewrites. Almost all the pages have markups on them. That&#8217;s because book one has certain things that I need to keep consistent, now that it&#8217;s engraved in stone.<\/p>\n<p>And I was going to do a book 3. I have no idea of the title. I know a little bit, like a skeleton of a plot idea, but nothing huge or final. I was thinking of adding it to this book instead. Once I get through this rewrite, I&#8217;ll see how many words I have and whether another 20-30K words will help or hurt it.<\/p>\n<p>After<em> War Mage<\/em>, I might work on the extensive rewrite of my <em>magnum opus,<\/em> <em>Grimaulkin<\/em>. I also might do my 3 short memoirs (or combine them into one book). My personal publishing plan is:<\/p>\n<p><em>War Mage<\/em> (Spring)<br \/>\nSomething?\u00a0<em>Blood from a Stone<\/em>?(Summer)<br \/>\n<em>Grimaulkin<\/em>\u00a0(Fall)<\/p>\n<p>I was going to have<em> Iron Butterfly<\/em> in there somewhere, but for the life of me I can&#8217;t write the formulaic &#8220;romance novel&#8221;. It&#8217;s not the &#8220;happily ever after&#8221; part. It&#8217;s not the &#8220;helpless heroine&#8221; part. It&#8217;s the &#8220;girl + boy&#8221; part. I would bring them together, then the guy would do something to tear them apart. I don&#8217;t have a problem with fated love between guys. Call me crazy. I have the paperwork to prove it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homecoming is finally out! \u00a0And amazingly enough, it&#8217;s not just on Amazon!
