Another Year Gone

Page 2 of 365. What’s going on this year?

-I’ll be on my first panel on January 31th at ALA MidWinter Meeting in Chicago! Will talk dark fantasy. Looking forward to it. I used to be terrible and terrified of public speaking. Until school. I spent years doing presentations in front of my classes. Now, public speaking is just something I do. I still get nervous but it doesn’t show. People seem to enjoy my presentations.

–Chains of the Sciell will be coming out in May. I’ll be doing my first blog tour that month. Gotta plan for that.

-I’ll be going into my 3rd year of grad school at NYU this September, which means I’m almost done. I’d like to get a certificate in maybe Graphic Design from NYU as well.

-More writing. Will be releasing some novellas and short stories.

–Devdan Manor will be free soon on Story Cartel. This will be a push to get reviews for my books.

What do you have planned for the new year?

I’ve established how these new communities are possible, what most of them look like and what their daily life is like. Now, I need plants….

  • Getting Book Reviews

    Byaudenjohnson

    For book 2 of The Merging Worlds Series, I’m doing things a bit different. For The Sciell, I used free promotions to get reviews. I avoided sending blogger review requests because I was rejected the first time I did it and it’s a lot of work. Gotten over that. How can you get more reviews?…
