Ichabod Brooks
So I’ve been trying to figure out a few things and I think I keep tripping over my own feet. I have the special Bedlam book set to be Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday posts from June to about September. There might be a few breaks to promote some books like Ichabod or the 14th Windemere book. Still aiming for 13 to go live in April. Speaking of Ichabod, I keep stumbling around like an idiot here.
I need to find a cover artist for this book. That’s first on the list and I really need to figure something out. The computer switch cost me a few links, which included previous suggestions for cover art. Sorry about that.
Also, I wanted to test out the opener for each story. Kind of like a teaser leading up to the big release. There’s actually eleven weeks between now and the potential release, so I was thinking of doing the opener every Tuesday starting next week. Of course, I’ll do Starwind Egg Thursday since I’m hogging Tuesday for this. Odd that I keep wasting time like this.
Not really because this is a significant change to my blog format. I’ve spent a lot of time doing small posts that are mostly humorous or an attempt to be informative. You’re going to see a lot of long posts coming with Ichabod openers, the Bedlam book, and then Dawn Addison returning in October. I hope people will keep up or at least try. I know it’s asking a lot of people since it takes time to read posts. Figure I might as well warn everyone.
Legends of Windemere 
Ya gotta try stuff, and I applaud you. I find it hard to keep up with something that’s serialized over a long time. I’m always afraid I’ll miss a segment. From what I’ve seen they can get super popular, so I hope yours do too. I’ve considered doing something along those lines, but have been too chicken.

It’s a big gamble, but Bedlam is in a spot where I can do the risk. Dawn has always been blog, so I don’t worry too much about her. Figure the Ichabod stuff would make good teasers and take some of the edge off my stress. Feels like I can’t even grab a moment to breathe, so these kind of keep me focused.

Sent you an email regards a couple of suggested book cover designers who do artwork 🐵

Thanks. Replied and started looking around the sites. Won’t be able to act on it for a bit, but the time required takes some of the edge off.

Guess this is an evolution. I’m still sticking to my safe zones with fantasy and Bedlam. Dawn is still tough for me to get my confidence behind.

I think whatever you do will be learning and probably great.

Thanks. Though I don’t know about the learning part. Unless we count learning from my mistakes. 😀

I like that you are trying new things. As for the 13th book potentially going live in April, you’ll have to come over to Poetic Parfait for an author interview or guest post! Be sure to take me up on the offer, Charles 🙂

Thanks. I’ll certainly do that. I’m hoping I make the April deadline I set for myself since things are a little chaotic right now. Trying to publish it between a family event and my son’s spring break might not have been the smartest move.

It’s okay if it takes longer, there’s no deadline on my end in terms of the offering to contribute at the blog. Sometimes we are so hard on ourselves as writers with our self-imposed deadlines.. Do take care xx

Thanks. We do tend to be our hardest taskmasters. I know I’m exceptionally tough on myself.
