Update:
As the Superbowl winds down. In addition to below, I did a
read-through of Book 8 of the Dragons series, We Are Not That Girl, and it looks pretty
good. I’m contemplating releasing it the first week of March, part
of a three week promotion. More details as they appear in my mind.
Thanks for reading and best of luck whatever your goals may be.
Reminder, also last Friday, I posted the sales links for the new
releases and the couple of re-releases.
Comments welcome, or email me at tony(at) tonylavelyauthor.com if you like.
I
repeat the links for the two books that I didn’t have links for the
paperback versions here.
For the pre-order of Father’s Day (2/12/24). Note: This was previously published as Low Places. While the cover and title have changed and the front and back matter revised, the story has had inconsequential changes. Amazon (Kindle, etc.) Books2Read Paperback (Amazon)
For the pre-order of The Prophecy (2/19/24):
Amazon (Kindle, etc.) Books2Read Paperback (Amazon)
What
else happened this week?
Monday,
2/5
First,
Nursing Girls went live on Tuesday the fifth. Because it’s a
revision, Amazon doesn’t allow delayed release, so the ebook is
live. The print version isn’t yet approved.
Father’s
Day is now live to pre-order, going live on Monday, February 11.
Again, the print version is on its own schedule.
For
D2D, who handle the distribution of epub3 books (Nook, Kobo, Books on
your Mac), I’ve launched a question to discover what the best
practice is for retiring a listed book and replacing it. We’ll see. [Answer 2/8: since the story hasn't changed perceptibly, edit the books as they are currently listed.]
Friday,
2/10
In
the Dragons Run My Life series, Father Maman, the novella between The
Journeys Home and Queen Immured has been republished with a revised
cover and updated front and back matter, and minimal changes to the
story. Both in ebook and paperback. Additionally, books six and
seven, The Prophecy and Lovers Reunited are set to release on
February 19 in both ebook and paper at Amazon and via Books2Read,
in wide distribution. Both are accepting pre-orders until then.
The
Rebecca Jamse Thrillers series hasn’t been neglected. Status at
Amazon and wide. As I reported above Nursing Girls is live. Blood
Moon, the sixth story in the series starring Amy Rose Ardan, mostly,
is set for release on Wednesday, Valentine’s Day. You can pre-order
it at Amazon and those other retailers that do pre-orders. Father’s
Day, since it’s a new edition, is set for release tomorrow,
February 12, in ebook. The paperback is still in process.
Going
forward.
I
am putting finishing touches on the novella that comes next in the
Rebecca Jamse Thriller series, and waiting and watching to see how
much the idiocy in Israel, Gaza and Syria damages the story of The
Girl in the Bag. It’s finished, but may need revision or a strongly
worded statement that the setting is only an approximation to the
real world! In any event, those are the next Rebecca Jamse stories,
and not ready for prime time, yet.
Dragons
stories eight, nine and ten, We Are Not That Girl, Ruling, and One
Pole at a Time are ready, save final passes and back matter updates.
I haven’t decided on a release schedule for them yet, or if I want
to try reduced prices for them or the other books in the series, to
celebrate getting ten books and two novellas in front of you.
There
are at least two more books in fair condition, once I decide the
direction of the series following them.
I repeat, comments welcome!
