The River continues: Next Steven/Roy book complete!

It’s been a few weeks, thought I’d check in with you and see if you’ve got everything in order for the holidays. No? Well, neither do I. But I am enjoying the season. Homemade Chex mix – mmm mmm. Hope you are enjoying things, too.

It’s always exciting to get emails from my readers. Today I received an email asking when the next book in The River series would be ready. “I’m dying here!” it said. What timing! I thought. I just finished writing it yesterday! No kidding! And good thing, too. I don’t want any of my readers to expire on me!

Now it goes into the editing process, which will take a while, but I’m expecting it to be available for pre-order soon. While I’ve ordered a ton of things via pre-order on Amazon over the years, this will be the first time I’ll be on the other end of things – listing the book in advance. Apparently if you pre-order the Kindle book, it’ll be automatically delivered to your Kindle on the day of release. Imagine, cranking up your Kindle at the end of a long day, and — poof! — there’s a new Steven and Roy book!

As soon as the pre-order is available, I’ll shoot out an email to everyone on my email list. If you haven’t signed up for my list, please do, because there’s a Steven/Roy novella coming that will be made available only to people on the email list. And I don’t use the list for anything other than new release announcements.

BOTRcover-smallOn another front, the first book in The River series, The Bank of the River, is specially priced at Amazon for just 99 cents. If you have a friend who’s been thinking of jumping into The River, now would be an excellent time to gift them this book! It’s on sale through January 2.

OK – that’s all for now. More on the new book as the pre-order comes together and the editing finishes up! Have a great weekend.

Three things, some news, and holiday thoughts

Hello! It’s been a little while, so I thought I’d stop writing for a moment and fill you in on what I’ve been up to!

 

FIRST and FOREMOST, I want to let you know that The River series continues…I’m working on the next Steven and Roy book right now, and it’s about 75% done. This one has really surprised me. I dislike predictability (unless it’s with regards to my car or my DVR) so I was delighted when this new book took a surprise turn and freaked me out a little! I hope you’ll like it. I’m really excited to finish it up and make it available – maybe sometime around the first part of December, right when we’re all trying to schedule parties and order presents from Amazon!

 

SECOND, I wanted to tell you about the next Steven and Roy book after that – it will be a free novella, a “thank you” to my readers, available only to members of my email list! It won’t be available on Amazon. If you aren’t already on my email list, why not take a moment and sign up?  I only use the list to send out announcements of new releases and special sales, so you don’t need to be worried about receiving a lot of pestering email from me. And of course I’ll never share it, ever.

 

THIRD, I was hoping you’d take a moment to let me know what you thought of The Impossible Coin by sharing your review at Amazon! The kindest compliment you can give an author is to tell a friend about their book, and to post a review! Sales have been good, and I’ve been happy at the reception. Amazon reviews really, really matter, so if you enjoyed it (or even if you didn’t) would you take a moment to let me know by posting a review there?

 

FINALLY, as we head into the holiday season and a discussion of things we’re thankful for, I want you to know how thankful I am that you’ve supported my passion for writing. It’s made me able to write more, and to keep the stories of Steven and Roy and Deem and Winn coming, and I’ve extremely grateful for that. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with you and yours: lots of turkey (or tofurky, if you prefer) and potatoes, stuffing, gravy, cranberries – and pumpkin pie. Some good football. Quality time with the ones you care about. That’s what matters. Enjoy!
