5 star rating for Emergence Ascended!

Thank you, random person, for the 5-star rating! My first rating on Amazon was 5 stars, which made my day; I had not expected one so soon since it hadn’t even been released for a week. Coincidently, I recently commented on a fellow blogger’s post (MichaelbChikondi, check out her vampire stories; they are really good.) about ratings and reviews and their importance to indie writers. They help keep us on the radar of Amazon’s rankings.

I got something cookin’!

Oh, I can’t wait to share! But it’s a project that is out of my hands, so I have to wait to tell you. I have always been horrible about keeping a secret. Not that I can’t be trusted with a confidential secret or something like that. The secrets I have a hard time keeping are things like a gift I can’t wait for you to enjoy or a particularly exciting piece of news. So this is as far as I can go; just a tease for something very cool coming up, so Stay tuned; it could be any day now.

As far as my progress on “Emergence Ascended” goes, The rewrite of chapter 42 is very satisfying, and I started chapter 43 with great momentum.   It’s hard to gauge because I don’t know what I am writing until I write it. However, I think chapter 44 will be the last. The fun stuff is over after that, and then there are edits and artwork for the cover. (I am in the market for an illustrator for the book cover, so if there is someone you like, send them my way.)

Now that I am getting close to completing this book, I have to resist the urge to start my next one. My attention deficit disorder compels me to start a new project when I have enough of the last project done to be considered ‘close enough’ and then jump to the next. And that explains why I have hundreds of unfinished works. (to be fair, most are not good enough to finish.)

I want to thank  “Jolene,”  whoever you are, for Leaving a great review of “Emergence Collective’ on Amazon. It means more than I can say. Ratings and reviews help bring awareness to my books and to me, So I appreciate it sincerely.

Audible update: Good news, bad news.

The good news is that I recorded another chapter of Emergence Ascended, my WIP, on Sunday! The bad news is that I skipped chapter 13. I am scatterbrained; I know it. Another point in the plus column is that I was not happy with the recording of chapter 14. There was some weird interference noise that I couldn’t remove, and have yet to figure out where it is coming from. So now I have the opportunity to correct that. Next Sunday, I plan on recording chapters 13 and 14. so stay tuned for that.
