Building Readership and Continuing Agent Search

The last three weeks have been all about building readership. To accomplish that goal, I've used the kindle giveaway and free paperback giveaway, and I'm looking forward to hearing from the many people who either downloaded the kindle version of my books, received a paperback, or purchased one of them. It's been a great couple of weeks. A total of 785 books have either been downloaded or ordered from many countries around the world.

During this time, I haven't written anything, but I have worked on ideas for my next book and future books. I've also been looking for an agent again. Last time I did this, I received some positive feedback but haven't been picked up by anyone yet. I know this is a long process, and in the meantime I will keep writing, studying, and working on my craft.

I want to apologize that I haven't been able to continue writing any short stories or poems, but I know at some point that I will get back to those. Ever since May of 2013, I've been incredibly focused on my novels - writing 5-6 days a week, 6-10 hours a day. The break I'm taking from writing right now is both necessary and welcome, but I'm getting the itch to begin again soon. I believe that my next book will be a sequel to Beatrice - another fantasy/mystery. That could change. We'll see.

Thanks again to everyone, and I hope you enjoy the stories!
