Hello and welcome to the end.
As the year is drawing to a close, so is my novella at long last. I got to say, I’m in love with it. Kensi, my main character, is slapping me and her fellow werewolves from here to Saturn without breaking a sweat. Yup. Some readers might think I have finally gone too far and created a woman who is “too strong.” But to me, she’s perfect. Best of all, despite her alpha tendencies, she’s not a bitch. She only acts like one, occasionally.
What am I going to do with my masterpiece? Well, I have several options. See if I can find a home for it in a shifter anthology/collection next year, or serialize it on my website, so you get to read one chapter a week.
So here is the reason finishing it has taken so long: I’ve been distracted by a new venture, i.e. making a puzzle book. It’s a special kind of puzzle book, and I believe you’re going to like it. Don’t believe me? Well, keep your eyes peeled, because I’ll introduce it properly soon.
Once my novella is done (only a few chapters left), I’ll be going full-steam into book 3 of the Silverton Chronicles. Despite the many diversions I’ve taken recently, the book should be ready for you by April 2017.
The Bound audiobook made many listeners squeal with excitement, and even though the review count does not yet reflect this, I’m confident that it will.
Speaking of puzzle books, Smart Heart Publishing has just released perfect stocking fillers in the form of two Sudoku books, styled as a “brain flush” for women and a “power plan” for men. They contain 70 puzzles each, split into two and a half months, with plenty of opportunity to go “head to head” with your better half. Both books come in an awesome portable size, unlike most Sudoku books that require a crane or The Hulk to lift.
If you’re interested, they’re called “Lilly’s One-Month Sudoku Brain Flush for Women” by Lilly Palmer, and “Manfred’s One-Month Sudoku Power Plan for Men” by Manfred Palmer. Both books are also available in German.
That’s it for now. Now that I’ve shared my favorite distractions with you (puzzles), why don’t you tell me yours?
