Gearing up to release
I'm super excited to release my first book - but I thought I'd give you a little behind the scenes on what that means.
The pre-order is up, but I'm still editing the manuscript (in the last third as of date of publishing).
Here's what's on my to-do list:
Finish editing
Decide what advertising graphics I want and relay that information, plus text, to my cover designer
Finalize blurb
Write details for the copyright page
Write endmatter
Set up pre-order for book two (so can link in endmatter)
Format the paperback in Vellum (can maybe get wife to do this step) and give paperback details to cover artist so she can give me the wraparound cover design
Upload paperback to Amazon and set to release
Order author copies of the paperback
Set up a newsletter
Write and edit bonus story to give as a freebie to newsletter peeps
Distribute ARCs for reviews
Draft text and graphics for author takeovers
Write some blog posts to promote the book
....
and probably some other stuff I've forgotten. Oh, I also need to cook food, eat it, do laundry and generally have a life as well... Phew !

Mischief and Mayhem launch weekend
If - like me - you're in the part of the world where it's already Saturday, Mischief and Mayhem is live and pre-orders should be turning up on kindles.
https://media1.tenor.com/images/394dd...
The rest of you, it's just hours to go before book 2 of the Fairyland Romances release for you.
I'm a little nervous about this one, as it's a slow burn and I know that's not as popular a trope as Rivals to Lovers.
But I'm confident that once people get to know Cody and Dean they'll enjoy the story, find some laughs, a little angst and a happy ending ...
Plus this one leads right into Book 3, which is a billionaire romance featuring Max Jones, heir to Fairyland theme park, and Charlie, Nate's best friend from book 1.
Mischief and Mayhem is $4.99 or free on Kindle Unlimited, please go grab it now!
