Hello all! Hope you are finding your way in this new month of February. I feel like I blinked and the entire first month of this year just disappeared. I am sure I am not the only one who feels like this, but it's hard to know with all of us living in our own little worlds right now because of everything. I figured I would just do a quick post to update those of you who are interested in what is happening with, well, everything lately.
Life update. We are still getting completely settled in our new home. It's been like an adult's game of Tetris to put the new place together and slowly but surely we are unpacking the last of the boxes. For those who aren't aware, we moved from 1800 glorious square feet with a decent yard and shed storage to about 1000 square feet, two less rooms and minimal storage. Not to mention a very small yard and a now all indoor dog. Oh, and I am working completely from home for the time being, so also squeezing a fully functioning, Zoom- worthy office into our home (you know, where it looks like you have your entire life together because of your clean background). So, surprisingly, it's going much better than It could be. I tend to escape into writing, instead of unpacking and sorting at the moment though...
In terms of Wings, I do believe a thank you is in order for the continued love and support of those who are reading my book. It still baffles me that my book is actually printed and out there in the world. The book has been a bigger success than I had dared to dream. What began as a wild idea floating around in my head has actually become a physical book that has been published. Please continue to share about the book and let me know what you think along the way!
Wings has not only been picked up by numerous different websites to purchase, but also has had a few reviews on purchase sites as well as a recent blog. As an indie author, reviews are so very important. They help to spread the word for more readers to find the book, and I am so very grateful for each and every review and rating. Websites are a great resource right now, being that so many of us are doing online shopping right now. Let's not forget about actual bookstores out there, which, with any luck, Wings just may be heading to one of these sometime soon...
Now, for a fun little announcement. As many of you may have worked out, or found out, Wings is not going to be a stand alone story. I am happy to say that book two in the Wings book series is well under way. I am about halfway through my first draft and making progress closer to the finish every day. I am not quite ready to release the name of this book as of yet, but do know it has a name. Not only a name, but pages and words and a story to continue where we left off with Esmari's story in the end of Wings. I cannot tell you how exciting it is to be working on book two. Should it work out, I plan to reveal the name, the cover, and hopefully release the book this year. But, as we all know, only time will tell, and who really know what the future holds.
I think that just about sums it all up! An update on what's what. I'd love to hear from you! Comment below with blog post ideas that you would be interested in reading about, as well as guesses of the title for book two.
