Hi Everyone,
It's been a while since I last posted. I've been super-busy with so many things (including a super-bug that knocked everyone in our house out for a good four weeks!), so haven't had much of a chance to put anything up. So here's the update. :-)
I've been steadily working on Cyberbully. It is really coming into focus now. The hardest part is not only writing exclusively from a male point of view but also trying to bring to life a rather unsavory character while simultaneously making him sympathetic to the audience. This takes a lot of drafting and re-drafting! It will be for my editor to tone down anything too unbelievably feminine (I never edit my own stuff solo--you miss too many things that way) but I am still writing the first draft. I edit as I go (a la Hemingway style) so it should be in pretty good shape by the time my editor sees it. Still, I don't think it will be ready until at least the end of March/early April.
But, production on the audio book of The House is complete and it should be available for purchase sometime later this month. Elizabeth Klett gave another FABULOUS performance on this one. It is well worth a listen. Super creepy!
Beyond this, there are several foreign language translations of The House and The Basement in the works over at Babelcube. The Basement is already available in Spanish (El sótano) but will also be soon appearing in French, German, Italian and Portuguese. The House has been translated into Italian with Spanish currently in the works. Now I just need to figure out how to get an author profile on the Amazon Spain, Mexico, Brazil and Italy sites so I can start promoting there! ;-)
Finally, I want to give a shout out to K.G. over on Flurries Unlimited for not only continuing to promote my books but also for hosting my writing and editing blogs. I am still affiliated with them but he runs the show. So thank you for the publicity and the hospitality! :-)
Thank you to everyone for your fabulous support! It is greatly appreciated. Now, back to writing...
