Nothing ever goes exactly as I plan.
For example, I had planned to release my novel The Ghosts of Chimera this summer. However, when I looked over the content edits from my editor, I saw that they diverged sharply from my vision of the story.
Consequently, I am no longer working with my original publisher, but I will still be publishing The Ghosts of Chimera soon – only in the fall of 2016 instead of this summer.
Meanwhile I will be releasing my final anthology of fantasy and science fiction short stories, the third collection in a series. I am currently at work creating new content for it – that is, content I have not published on my blog.
By the way, my first short story collection Becoming the Story, formerly priced 3.99, is now free, so if you have not downloaded it yet, you should. It has a five-star rating on Amazon and it features a cat who gets proselytized to by a fundamentalist Christian. There has been an encouraging spate of downloads since I made the book free.
After I publish my third short story collection, I will finally – at long last – publish my novel The Ghosts of Chimera in the autumn. However, since it is 600 pages I have been advised to break it up into a three-part series, a suggestion I am seriously considering. One way or another, I will follow The Ghosts of Chimera with my novel Paw which was inspired by the video game Skyrim.
I will be releasing a new book at least every few months. About two months ago I began this process by releasing my second story anthology Remembering the Future, featuring a mad scientist who collects minds, benevolent robot overlords, and an illusory dragon.
While I am against churning out sub-par stories just to meet a marketing timetable, luckily I will not have to; everything I will be publishing during the coming months is already written. Meanwhile, I will have plenty of time to generate new content for the following year.
I have always dreamed of being prolific, and I am happy to have found a marketing plan that aligns with my desire to write constantly.
Thanks to all of you who have downloaded my books and follow my blog. You rock!
