Years ago, I wrote a YA suspense/thriller (PRICK) which stirred up plenty of buzz and ultimately landed me my agent. I even wrote the second book (it was meant to be a 3-book series). Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful at finding a publisher willing to take a chance on it...and me. So, it's just been sitting there, collecting dust on the shelf, which is a shame because I consider it one of my best works.
That's why I've made the decision to self-publish PRICK. I have tentatively set a December 12th release date.
I realize many of the folks who decided to follow my exploits here did so because of my adult stuff, but I promise you that even though PRICK is targeted at YA, adult readers will enjoy it as well.
The other thing that I want to mention is that this blog will be shuddering its doors in the near future. I'll be moving over to a more professional website to prepare for PRICK's launch and maintaining two separate sites will be more than I can handle. It will be a sad day, for sure, when that day comes, but we still have a little time.
That's my news. I'll be back later with updates (cover reveal, pre-order details, etc.) as the release date approaches. Stay tuned!
I don't see why you need to shut down the blog. Once the website is up, there isn't much else to do but update it when the next release is available. I link to my blog on my website. I don't even know how to update my website (that's all my husband's doing). At least what little blogging I do keeps me a little bit relevant. Maybe. Good luck on your self-publishing endeavors!
ReplyDeleteSorry it didn't work out but at least you have a plan.
