I guess I’m used to Smashwords and their preorder process.\u00a0 They’ll let me create a preorder with a publication date of up to a year away.\u00a0 When I originally submitted Wizard in the Woods (ToL5) as a preorder I tried to do the same for Amazon, but was surprised to see that they will only allow a 90 day preorder.\u00a0 I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the big-name publishers & authors releasing books much later than that, but whatever.\u00a0\u00a0 Interested in preordering the book?\u00a0 Here’s the Amazon US link:\u00a0 Wizard in the Woods<\/a>\u00a0 and the Amazon UK link:\u00a0 Wizard in the Woods<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Yep.\u00a0 Yesterday I took the time to submit all the files.\u00a0 Well, obviously not the finished book file, nor the final cover.\u00a0 The cover is just something I made ’cause I didn’t want to leave the cover blank.\u00a0 What I’ve noticed is that there are a lot of times when you finish a book you enjoy, and it’s part of a series, then oftentimes you’ll look up the author to see what other books are out there and when the next one is due.\u00a0 And, usually, if the next one is a preorder, they’ll go ahead and preorder the thing so that they don’t forget about it.\u00a0 To me, that’s a valuable tool for an author to have at his\/her disposal.<\/p>\n

So will I be able to hit my deadline?\u00a0 Will I actually release 3 books in one year?\u00a0 Well, if I have my way about it, I plan on releasing 4!\u00a0 We’ll see about #4, though.\u00a0 As for WitW, I’ve already hit the 40,000+ word mark and am only on chapter 5.\u00a0 I should easily be able to hit the 100k mark for this one but I won’t make any promises.\u00a0 The last time I did that I fell short by about 5,000 words.\u00a0 So I’ll zip my lip about it.\u00a0 The point I’m trying to make is that I don’t see any reason why I can’t make that deadline.\u00a0 In fact, I plan on having the book finished by early July.\u00a0 Keep your fingers crossed.<\/p>\n

The Goodreads Giveaway for a print copy of A Portal for Your Thoughts is still underway.\u00a0 That giveaway will be going through the month of June, so if you live in the US and haven’t already done so, head over to Goodreads and enter the contest.\u00a0 You never know!\u00a0 You could be the proud owner of a signed paperback copy of the book!<\/p>\n

I’ve already had some people ask me about becoming a beta reader for WitW.\u00a0 I’m not ready to send out the call yet, but it probably will be in the next 2-3 weeks, so keep an eye on the blog.\u00a0 I typicallly will take about 6-8 beta readers and those slots fill up fast.\u00a0 Very fast.\u00a0 I’m actually thrilled to death on how fast people volunteer to beta read for me.\u00a0 Makes me smile, guys, so thanks!!<\/p>\n

I think that’s it for now.\u00a0 I hope everyone is having a great week!\u00a0 Happy reading!<\/p>\n
