Wednesday Musings - Cover Reveal Question and Game On Book 2 Release Date!

I wrote the title, than had to actually check I got the day right! It's one of those weeks where all the days seem to blur together!

I've been kind of quiet lately in regards to what I've been working on - so I figured I'd catch you all up and then pose a question.

Those of you who have been following me for a while will know that I plan to have the next book in the Game On series published in November. The official release date will be November 19th - and I think there will be another blog tour around that time too! I intend to plan it WAY in advance because with Christmas approaching - people usually get busy! Ideas are already forming - so I will keep you posted on that.

I've also been working on a novella which I've been mentioning randomly while giving little to no indication of what it's about! So, here's the synopsis:



Madison Connor is about to lose it. Her job, that is. For three years, she’s taken care of Dominic Hartley’s five year old daughter, Tilly, but her world is flipped on its head when Dominic tells her his latest promotion is taking him to New York. With Tilly having a meltdown over the move, Madison and Dominic get into a fight that changes the entire nature of their relationship, causing Madison to ask herself a big question. Can she let him go? 

Yeah, it needs some work :p But you get the idea! Feel free to ask questions or let me know how I can make it better! I plan to release this - hopefully - in October sometime. :) 

But before I release these books - I need to do cover reveals. Here comes the question! 

Should I do two separate cover reveals - or both at the same time (just in case people get sick of seeing me everywhere! :p ) Let me know what you think in the comments! :D

    Hmmm...I personally would never get sick of seeing you. Maybe flip a coin and let fate decide?

      Thank you! Looks like two reveals has been the overall opinion, though! :D

    From a marketing standpoint, I'd say separate reveals. It keeps your name on people's screens for a longer period of time. Plus, you can give each book the attention it deserves, especially since they're being released at different times.

    The novella sounds cool. And I'm definitely looking forward to Jesse's book! Yay!

      I can't wait to release Jesse! Feedback has been super positive so far! :D

    I agree that you should do two separate cover reveals. We won't get sick of seeing you. ;) It will keep your name fresh in people's minds. The book sounds great btw! Would love to read it :)

    I agree, give them each the attention they deserve. :)

    I say separate reveals. And I'd love to be in your blog tour again, if you'd like! *hugs*

    Separate. :)

    And I have a brilliant idea for Jesse's cover! Are you opposed to naked soccer players?

    Personally, I'd do two! I never get sick of you, and sure others wouldn't.

    Plus, I think each story deserves individual attention and promotion.

    Also, anything you need as you prepare for both releases, let me know. <3

    I'd say two reveals - give each of them their own moment! Oh, I never asked - what's the novella's title?

    I think two cover reveals would be better. I like the synopsis. Tilly is the true victim.

      Yes, Tilly definitely gets the rough end of the deal for a while!

    Go for two, especially as the one will be out a month before the other one.

      Aww, bless you! I HATE writing any kind of synopsis because they usually suck! I'm glad you liked it!

    The PR side of my brain says do two separate posts. You can get people's attention twice that way. :)

    Hey,

    I haven't read the other comments, but my gut instinct tells me to go with two reveals... otherwise it may get a little confusing...

    methinks

    that's also confusing... :)

    Yaaaaaaaay I just saw this post. This is exciting! Glad to see you're doing two cover reveals; it makes sense.

IWSG: Performance anxiety

Welcome to the August edition of IWSG, hosted by the amazing Alex J.Cavanaugh ! So, as most of you know by now - because I haven't shut up about it LOL - my first novel, Game On, has been released. The blog tour officially starts next week (YAY!) but I find myself becoming increasingly nervous. A blog tour not only highlights my book, but me. What if people don't like me? What if my guest posts suck, and everyone thinks I'm boring? If I can't engage people in 300 words on a blog, they probably aren't going to pick up my book. And then there's the "what happens next" question. I plan to make Game On into a series, which feels a bit arrogant of me. I don't know how many people are going to like the first book, should I really be planning to keep the series going? So far, Game On has actually been incredibly well received. I've had great reviews, so maybe I shouldn't worry about people not liking it, but what if Book Two isn't as goo

IWSG: Books Sales

IWSG time! I'd like to start by thanking Alex J. Cavanaugh for this fab bloghop, and today in particular, it is just the motivation I need to get me blogging again! Today, I'm talking book sales. Now, I don't really know if there is any kind of "average" amount of books sales when you're an indie author. I don't know what is considered a good amount of book sales per month, or whether I am doing better or worse than others. What I do know, is that I am happy with the amount of books I've sold. I self-published because I want people to read my work - and people are reading it - yay! My concern is - what if the sales stop? I know after a time, everyone's book sales will slow down, but I have this fear that I'll check my sales every couple of weeks to find that nobody cares about reading my books anymore.The dreaded 0 will show on my Kindle sales, and I will plummet into a pit of despair. It hasn't happened yet, but Game On has onl

First Fight/First Kiss Blogfest

Yay, it's blogfest time! Many thanks to Danielle and Jackie for hosting! Here are the details: Share your 1 st FIGHT and 1 st KISS scenes in your MS’s or WIP’s. Crack open your current project or dive back into an old one. We want to feel what your characters feel. From the sting of their first fist-to-the-face to the tingling taste of their first kiss. Today is First Fight day, and I wanted to bring you a small excerpt from my NaNo novel which centres around Jesse Shaw, one of the characters from Game On. It's a bit rough, and a bit vague - mainly because I wrote it quickly, Jesse's voice still needs work, and this fight in full would be packed with spoilers, but hopefully it gives enough info to make sense!   Just to clear up a small thing - Georgia is Isabelle's twin sister. :)   ** “Izzy,” I said. “You know the right thing to do.” Isabelle looked down at me with those big brown eyes, and my insides twisted with guilt. Right away, I realised
