I’ve moved over to a new blog, integrated into my website. You can still all follow the blog via FeedBurner or Networked Blogs, exactly the same as you could when my blog was with Blogger. My blog now runs off WordPress.org so it will take me a while to get used to the new platform, and get everything the way I like it.
You may notice that there’s a lack of comments on the blog right now. All of my old posts and their comments are here, but I’m integrating Disqus into my new blog and they’re currently processing several thousand comments I exported from this blog. Wow, that’s a lot of comments!
Please feel free to let me know if you find anything that is behaving wrongly, any hiccups you might encounter, or features my old blog had and this one lacks! I’d love some feedback. There are still a few styling issues that I want to smooth out, but other than that I think the switch over has gone quite smoothly so far. Now I just have to update all those ebook files, and everything else where my old blog address appears. The good news is that the old blog will now forward to the new blog, so people will still be able to find me!
On to an update for Guardians of Hades.
See, you still get the sexy pictures here at the new blog… yummy.
I’ve been working on and off on the first Guardians of Hades book this past week. I hit a bump in the road because I started reading a book on marketing / publicity as I wanted to see if I could find new ways to engage readers and increase my reach, and I’ve been thinking about websites and, of course, installing this new blog on my own website. All of this disengaged my writing brain and engaged my marketing and design brain, and I was left somewhat adrift. I have managed to get some more work done on the book though, and it’s coming along nicely now. I am up to 90,000 words as of this afternoon, and I wrote 8600 words today, starting the morning on a love scene and ending in the lead up to another. What can I say? The hero and heroine have got over their problems and are getting along very nicely now.
I’m heading for the race to the finish line now though. I think I have another 5 or 6 chapters to write, and that’s around 20-24,000 words, so the book will come out around my estimated 110,000 words. I want to get it wrapped up this week, but that might be asking too much. Unfortunately, if it tries to overrun, then I’ll have to set it aside or try to finish it while proofing Her Demonic Angel at the same time. That isn’t the sort of stressful life that I need, so I’m really hoping that I’ll get it done and then I can focus on proofing Her Demonic Angel.
I’m gasping to share snippets of the Guardians of Hades book with you so you can all get a taste of the series, but I don’t think it’s in any shape for a public outing right now. Maybe soon, when I have some spare time, I can read part of it over for any mishaps and share it with you.
Would you like to read a snippet from the first Guardians of Hades book?
