And here we go:
Cover art by Jason Pedersen
The title and author name still have to go on, but I’ve found that the picture alone tends to get a better reaction. The release plan is to hit publish on Wednesday night and announce the release on Thursday. I’ll be sending the HTML file to all of the volunteers (STILL TIME TO SIGN UP!) once mine goes live. This way I can promote more over the weekend and Thursday is the time I have the least amount of scrambling to do.
Promoting is becoming tougher. I took a look around and a lot of the sites I use are busy. One is nearly entirely booked for promos for at least the next 3 months. At least in terms of new releases, so I’ll have to see what I can do. I have a list of potential interview sites that I’ll contact on Thursday once everything is locked in. So, hopefully this book gets the same amount of love as the previous ones. It’s getting scary lately because it’s been so long and promo avenues are getting scarcer.
Hope everyone enjoyed the cover.

Great cover, Charles (BTW – I hope I’m on your promo list and let me know your preferred posting date) 😎

Yup. I’ll be letting people know about the preferred posting range/date when I send out the email. I’d release the book over this weekend, but I already have a bunch of stuff going on. Hard to get the promos ready when I can’t get near a computer.

I really like the cover. I never use the promo sites and would like to learn more about them. I’m guessing you mean the email blasts and such. I tend to go for more of a friends & family blog tour method.

I don’t use many of those. The sites I use post up special blurbs or interviews on social media. They all have banner services too, which I’ve found useful. I have one for The Spirit Well on Goodkindles now, but I’m not seeing any movement. It’s strange, but those sites aren’t having the same impact for that they used to. It’s why I’m going a bit more basic these days.

Probably not. Honestly, I’m wondering if topics like this will work better when the final book comes out near the end of the year.

I’m hitting publish on Wednesday night. That gives a little time to do a brief scan and get my nerves under control. Hard to go dark after so long.
