I’ve been too quiet of late on my blog, and for that I’m sorry. I’ve not, in fact, fallen off the edge of the earth. I’ve been very busy. The day job’s been taking a lot of energy, especially the commute, that’s really getting to me again. And I’ve been working hard, there’s the preparing for publication, preparing for agent submissions, arranging/attending events, the writers’ circle, the holiday season, the tax return, reading, and, of course, writing.
You may know that I’ve always self-published my steampunk work, but now I’m self-publishing “Locked Down”, the last of the Locked Trilogy, so getting covers and blog tours and everything else sorted for that has taken me some time. I’m still waiting on the final artwork, but that’ll be with me soon, then I can put the paper back up for pre-order. The eBook is already there for pre-ordering if you want it, find it at: Locked Down
I also finished the re-writing of another novel, stand-alone this time. This one I wanted sorted as I sent it to an agent and wanted to be sure that it was ready and polished. Though I suspect it’ll need other checks and edits yet. The agent’s had it for a while, but I’m still hopeful.
I’ve also been arranging events, not just for me, but for other authors too. That takes a fair amount of time and effort and an awful lot of e-mailing. Can’t reveal the details yet, but I’ll be posting them up as soon as I can.
The rest, I’m sure you can appreciate just how absorbing they can be. Still, enough of the poor me for now.
The other thing I haven’t mentioned above is friends. Yes, shocking I know, but yes, I do actually have friends. And I’ve been spending some time with them. It’s surprising how many people I’m friends with who walk with the Black Dog and Christmas is always a bad time for such suffers, so there have been a lot of supportive chats going on in the background. People I’ve helped and those who have helped me. I just want to say a thank you to them and to let them and others know, that if you need me, I’m here. Even if all you want is to unload, I’m here for you any time you need me to be.
Well, that’s it from me at the moment, I’ll blog again as soon as I can.
