Hello, Reader Friends! I’m here with news on my upcoming publishing schedule. Before I get into that, I want to share the reasons why I haven’t published anything in so long.
As many of you know, I had a hysterectomy in order to remove multiple fibroid tumors last fall. It was successful and I no longer have the constant pain and low energy that made it difficult to write. Yay! However, I was struggling trying to work a full-time job and be a self-published author at the same time. I finally accepted that doing both simply wasn’t feasible for me. Some authors are able to do it but I am not one of them. It was hard to focus on writing while also taking care of other obligations. And to be honest I was just too damn tired after working eight hours to sit down and write a book and do promo. I didn’t want to give up writing so this year I’m going to give being a full-time author a try. So, what book will I be publishing first? My pick will disappoint some of you and make others happy. I’m currently working on Blood Debt, book two in the Sanguis Syndicate series. Although I was writing Alpha’s Honor, I decided to temporarily set it aside and publish Blood Debt instead for two reasons. First, Blood Debt was mostly finished. I only had a few chapters left when I shelved it to work on Alpha Awakened. And since I no longer have day job income, I thought it was best to go with the book that I could publish fastest in order to replace that income. Second, I wanted to get Blood Debt to readers because I felt bad for cancelling it. Although several readers let me know that they understood, I knew that I had hurt them by saying a book was coming and then not following through with releasing it. And that bothered me. I don’t want to be the author who lets down her readers. So I decided to fix that mistake by publishing Blood Debt. After that, I will finish Blood Rivals since I’d also cancelled that book. My goal is to publish Blood Rivals this summer. Then I will return to working on Alpha’s Honor, with a goal of publishing it toward the end of this year. I have no firm deadlines so I don’t stress myself out trying to meet them. This is just a rough estimate for how this year should shape up. I will share the release date for Blood Debt next week. There are a few things I want to tidy up first to make sure that everything is in order for a smooth release. And that’s my news! I’m excited to be able to devote my time and energy to writing the way that I want to. I hope this leads to some great stories and I hope that you will enjoy them! Thanks for reading and I’ll see you next week with the release date for Blood Debt. Love, Christa Comments are closed.
