TITLE AND BLURB REVEAL - BRAND NEW BOOK!

Well, I wager you guys thought I fell down into an ice cavern or one thing, that’s how incommunicado I’ve been the previous couple of months. But I promise, it’s all for a great motive. I’ve so many nice books popping out for you guys this yr, it’s gonna be loopy. You’re gonna get sick of me, that’s what number of books I’ve coming. So the dry spell is over.

Which wasn’t a dry spell for me in any respect as a result of I’ve been writing almost on daily basis for over a decade now. Rarely do I take a time without work from writing. I’ve to be VERY sick (which has solely occurred a couple of times – I nearly by no means get sick) or I’ve different commitments taking place.

I simply bought on this kick after writing the second Vampire guide that I didn’t need to launch any extra books in 2023. I felt like my releases had been being rushed out as an alternative of celebrated. And I don’t want to write down like a maniac like I did within the early days of this profession. All the arduous work has paid off and I may cease writing all collectively and be simply positive for years if I wished to.

But I don’t need to. I really like writing tales. It’s the place all my pleasure lives. So I don’t have plans to ever cease. But when trying again in any respect the releases, I all of a sudden realized that I at all times needed to decide and select which of them bought “all the attention” and which of them I made a decision to relegate to “side project” standing. There was an excessive amount of happening. There had been too many issues to do. And I don’t have an assistant. I do completely every part myself. The solely factor I outsource for is modifying. I do my very own covers, I do my very own advertising, I do my very own social media, I do my very own formatting (each hardcopy and book) I do ALL my very own graphics and I make ALL my very own movies.

And I LIKE doing it this fashion. I don’t need anybody else doing any of these items. There is pleasure for me in all of it. So that’s why I got here up with “Side Project” standing a few years again. It was an excuse for me to have a tender launch. One that’s much less celebrated as a result of it wasn’t going to make as a lot cash. And I knew that stepping into, aspect tasks are tales that I simply need to write. And this entire “Side Project” label was a approach to justify the time it took away from the “Money Makers”.

I think about a guide relegated to “Side Project” standing is a little bit bit just like the Island of Misfit Toys. The Throwaways.

And what? They’re not throwaways. I put an equal quantity of effort into every guide. Every time. I agonize over each identify alternative, and each plot level, and lose all of the sleep when writing each single ending. The solely factor that’s totally different is that “side project” books usually have a smaller viewers or I’m dipping my toes right into a model new viewers. It’s bought nothing to do with the standard of the guide.

So final yr, after I completed Blood Brothers (American Vampires #2) which is 100% a aspect mission, I made a decision that I’d not launch one other guide till I had the time to present it Star Status. Whatever meaning, it’s gonna be totally different for every guide, however I’ve promised myself that each single guide I put out any more will get the Star Treatment, no matter how massive or new the viewers for it’s or how a lot cash it makes.

I’m doing simply positive financially. Some years I make sufficient cash it may be measured within the shit-tons. Some years I make so much much less. I actually don’t care concerning the cash. (so long as I pays the payments, and I can). So I actually don’t write tales for the cash. I similar to writing them. I’m by no means going to retire (so long as I’m answerable for that call). I’ll by no means run out of concepts, so why cease?

SPARKTOPIA, which is the entire level of at present’s publish, was most positively a aspect mission after I began it. But by the point I completed it was a completely model new world that I’ve no intention of ever leaving.

It’s not a aspect mission.

From now on, there are not any extra aspect tasks. They are all Stars.

So I wish to introduce you to this world with the title and blurb reveal. I hope you like studying it as a lot as I cherished writing it.
