Hi Michael:
I have always paid for an editor for all my indie-published titles, and I recommend that all indie authors have their manuscripts at least line-edited and thoroughly proofed before they publish.
Finding readers when you're a new author is a very broad topic. If I reduced it to one piece of advice, it would be to write and publish the next book in the series, and the one after that. Trying to sell a single title, when the reader has nothing else to read after they've read that, is a waste of effort and money.
Also find a way to capture those readers who do read your first book, so you can tell them about the next one. These days, that's usually with a reader magnet and an email list--classics that still work.
Good luck.
Tracy

Hi Mel:
Thanks for asking! I have the next book in the series listed for production in the first half of 2022. I can't give you specific dates, because sometimes they shift. But my intention is to get back to the last two books in the series next year.

Hi LInda:
There are four novellas already released in the series, and another two scheduled for 2016. I may leave the series open-ended, with the possibility of more to come, but for now, I will stop at six, altogether.
Regards,
Tracy

It's been a busy year, but I've finally started working on one of the most requested books -- book 4 of the Blood Stone series, called BLOOD REVEALED.
All the major characters from the first three books will be back, along with a few new ones, and opposition to Nial's revolutionaries doesn't just step up the pace, it jumps straight to global proportions.
I'm expecting to have the book release early in December, 2015. If you'd like a personalized heads-up when it does come out, and also grab a free book or two, sign up here: http://tracycooperposey.com/newsletter/
