Regrouping

I was asked several times, over the holiday season, when my next book would be released. We are now into the month of March, and I’ve kept this announcement relatively quiet. The fact of the matter is this. Don’t be looking for my next book anytime soon.

I won’t share any great detail. There is no need to reveal behind the scenes irrelevant reasons as to what happened. I chose to terminate my contracts with my publisher. As a reader, the publisher has little significance Unfortunately a traditionally published author and publisher have to create a good working partnership. to have any success.

So where doe’s that leave me? I’m somewhat starting over. This is only a backward step for me. I have no plans to abandon the sci-fi action series that I created. My plans are to start over from book one and create a better manuscript. I ‘wasn’t happy with how I wrote New Perspectives. It can be better.. Once I’ve reworked the first two manuscripts, I plan to pitch for a new contract. The third book was over half way complete. That plot’s fate will be determined as I rework book two, Although Can’t Go Home probably won’t change to much. I was happy with the outcome

This isn’t a set back. If anything my experience can be measured as a time of learning. I had NO IDEA what I had gotten into when I became a novelist the first time. I did everything wrong! Although I’m no expert now, I have a little better understanding of the professional writing craft . Maybe my success will reach further after I regroup.

For those of you that purchased copies of my original publishing, I’d suggest hanging on to them. Maybe they’ll be valuable someday. Then again, maybe they can be used as lawnmower wheel chocks, kindling, or whatever imaginable use s. Regardless, I don’t think they’re available on Amazon now.

For now, I’ll continue to sporadically post articles here on this blog. I will also continue submitting to magazines.
