Got through the final edit on the problem bits of It Sounds Familiar yesterday. As a bonus, revisions to the end helped me figure out some trouble spots in the overall plot of book three. It’s looking like Friday is production prep day!

I’m finally back to fixing the end bits of It Sounds Familiar for a March release.
It turns out that while I can meet my ambitious goals for writing and producing, it’s unfair to dump a new novel on my writers group and expect them to get through it in a month (unless it’s a beta read). Lessons learned!
More details to come as I get this wrapped up.

I’ll be reading at Dream Haven Books & Comics from 6:30-7:45 pm, on April 1, 2020.The current plan is that I will read from It Sounds Familiar, which should be available by then.
This event is free and open to the public. And if my story isn’t working for you, you can always browse the collection of science fiction, fantasy, and comics to add to your own collection.
Parking is available in the lot and on the street.
You can currently get my print publications for 15% off the cover price, if purchased through Lulu. This includes the novella Something Familiar and both short story collections, Practice to Believe, and Magic, Mischief & Mayhem.
Use the code ONEFIVE at the checkout.
Offer expires February 27.
If you’re a small press or indie writer, or are working in this direction, it’s important to know how to promote your work. This is one of the parts of small press and indie writing that can be extra frustrating and difficult to learn on your own.
The amazing and entertaining Catherine Lundoff will be holding an online class on book promotion on a budget through Cat Rambo Academy in January. Scholarships are available, and both writers of color and QUILTBAG writers are encouraged to apply.
For more about Catherine Lundoff, check out her website, Queen of Swords Press, or follow her on Twitter.
Disclosure: I have no affiliation with Cat Rambo Academy. I do, however, know Catherine as a friend, and consider her one of my writing mentors.
Last call for questions for the Indie writer Q&A! I have several indie author guests to help me out on this one, and I’m keen to see what questions folks have for us!
It’s cyber Monday, and you can get 30% off the print edition of any of my books (including Something Familiar) today at Lulu today!

It was a tough choice. Option two was beautiful, but we felt this one fit the theme of book one with its subtle cat better. Can you find the butterfly this time?

Did you know that indie writers and small presses are essentially small businesses? So you can participate in Small Business Saturday by buying books from some amazing writers!
Check out my catalog over at Lulu.

With It Sounds Familiar coming out in the next month, Something Familiar needed a wee update to include the series name (A Familiar Story).
