First, be careful searching for ‘volunteer’ pictures when you have Safe Search off. Half the stuff was ‘Hunger Games’ and the rest were . . . I’m just glad my son wasn’t in the room because I’m not ready for that talk.
So I’m aiming to release The Merchant of Nevra Coil in August and I’m looking for people to help spread the word. Final edits are still going on and I don’t have the cover yet, but we all know I get volunteers early. Also that something always goes wrong, which is why I never state an actual day when I do this. We’ve all heard this song and dance before, but that brief explanation is for new people.
This time around I’m adding a free period for Beginning of a Hero to the new release’s opening weekend. So my main focus will be the ‘BOOK IS LIVE!’ post instead of the cover reveal. The latter might be me and anyone willing to reblog since the two might be very close to each other. I will say if I get the cover or a great teaser within the next week then I might do a spontaneous reveal. Hopefully it’s safe to assume all volunteers will be willing to help with that or at least not get annoyed if I email the info.
This is rather long-winded, but I’m not in a position to say the thing will go down on such and such a day. So feel free to spread the word, volunteer in the comments, and I hope everyone is looking forward to the next book. Especially since this it highlights this fun character:






Sure, I’ll volunteer. When you send me the html file, that usually works. 🙂

Got it. You mean send it in html form, but as a Word doc or in the body of the email?

Thanks. It looks like it will only be the one ‘Book is Live’ post, so time won’t be as big an issue. As long as you don’t post it before the book comes out. 😉 Seriously though that wouldn’t happen since I won’t be sending the info until I have an Amazon site for it.

Thanks. Looking like it might only be the ‘Book is Live’ post. Ionia and I are coming up with a new way to hype a cover. Not so much new, but more eye-catching than a simple reveal.

Thanks. I’ll try to remember. I tend to ask for volunteers in case people have stuff going on. Also my head is always spinning so much at this point in the process.

Thanks. One never knows when a person gets curious about a new genre. Or a follower may reblog and one of their followers is interested.

Okay, I did the volunteer search thingy but didn’t get the results I expect–meaning, I could have had my family beside me and all I got was images of people raising their hands. Safe search was off. I guess Google likes me!
Good luck with The Merchant of Nevra Coil. I’m sure it will do well, as I know your books have rocked in the past. Big congratulations also for keeping to schedule as laid out in the beginning of the year. Somehow I remember that post and you’re doing an awesome job pulling through. Keep up the great work, Charles!

The search really does enjoy tormenting me. Though I used Yahoo, which might be worse.
Thanks for the well wishes. I’m a little nervous because it’s so hard to keep a long series going like this. Every book seems to do a little worse because people read slower or don’t continue.

I wouldn’t worry about it. You have quite a large bibliography under your name and keeping those blinder on is doing a great service for your productivity. Keep on writing!

Thanks. I’m going to be using links this time too. Big benefit of indie authordom is you can add links to previous books and upload them again.
