Book 2 and Holiday News
Hi everyone,
How terribly slack of me, I've just realized it's been quite a while since my last post. To my own defence I've been very busy. With the book promotion of Seraphympire ~ Guardians of the Gateways book 1 (pronounced Sera-fim-pire.) and the writing of book 2 Seraphympire ~ Keeper of the Key, I'm pleased to say it's coming along nicely, I'm half way through and hope to have it published next year.
I've also been away for 2 months holidaying in Greece and have just recently returned home to Australia. It was lovely to see the family and beautiful, beautiful Greece again, 23 years is way too long to wait to go back to my father's country of birth.
I had good intentions of finishing book 2 whilst I was there, no such luck, but I did write one of the best chapters I've written to date, chapter 13 is a cracker where a lot of questions from book 1 are answered, there's nothing more satisfying than writing a chapter and having all the pieces just fall into place without overthinking a scene too much.
I also did a book signing at the Hotel Philoxenia whilst on the island of Kalymnos, where I spent the majority of my stay in Greece, it was great fun meeting and speaking with new and wonderful people, to those of you who attended, a very big thank you. I'd also like to extend my thanks to Nikolas the manager of the Philoxenia Hotel, and my cousin, for running the book signing event, it was fabulous.
I still have so much to do, I've been procrastinating about getting my newsletter up and running for those who'd like to actually subscribe and hear my news about up and coming books etc. It's all so intimidating, what to write? Will anyone actually read it? Why bother, how will I navigate and build my newsletter using Mailchimp? which I've decided to use. I remember feeling the same overwhelming feeling when I was attempting to build my website, I think once I get started I'll be fine.
I've yet to compile a video of all the photo's and videos I took whilst overseas, but I will do it within the next month, I hope, you must remember I'm busy writing book 2 and working two jobs during the day, if only there were more hours in the day. I think many of you would agree.
Anyway, for those of you who actually read my blog, a big thank you and sorry for not posting sooner, have a very fabulous month.
Regards Renee
