A thousand apologies for being quiet for such a long time. But I've got a really good reason.
In the last week I have re-written, edited and completed a further five or six chapters of Soul Reunion and in the last two weeks made a total of six new submissions for my shorts (one rejection received back so far). I am completely motivated again and it feels fantastic.
I can see the finishing line for Soul Reunion, which is such a great feeling. This time I am going down the agent route, having identified a glut of agents who handle paranormal romance writers, and accept queries. I think that will be my best option to get this story out there, rather than soliciting publishers directly. And at least this time I have more selling points, both for me and the book. I am now a published author with fifteen short stories published or accepted for publishing, and the book is numero uno of a planned series of Soul Taker novels. So,once again, sorry for being quiet for a while but I have been busy.
I've talked to my co-writer for project Ripper and I am over the moon that we are hoping to get back in the saddle this week so we can bring it forward and start drumming up some interest for it.
The co-written erotic-adventure novella, working title 'Found' has been completed and is waiting a final edit before we start submissions.
Oh, a heads up. The Red Asylum, issue two is about to make an appearance. We had a nasty shock when our host website cut the number of pages available to us and we had to reformat our design. Its been longer than we intended between editions, but hats off to my Editor-in-Chief who's created a stunning e-zine.

What's Going on Here?

All sounds good and positive Red. Querying agents is so much fun it almost makes up for how hideous writing the actual query is. Almost :D
ReplyDeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteLol, I quite enjoyed writing the query. I'm going to post it on WB before I send it, I want to see what people think.
I've stuck to specific formula endoresed the by agents I'm querying so fingers crossed.
Congrats on editing so much of Soul Reunion, Lorry! That's fantastic.
