My 2022 in Publication
[Originally posted on Instagram.]
Another busy year. I finished writing ENDLESS SKY for a June release. BEYOND THE TREES was written and then released in October. I also released two re-issues, DARKNESS ON THE HORIZON and BEFORE THE SUN RISES--both with revised text and new covers.
ENDLESS SKY exceeded the sales figures of all my books combined last year. A pleasant surprise, and I'm still somewhat amazed (but happy) that it continues to sell every day. ENDLESS SKY was also my first novel to feature a blurb from a traditionally published author. Soman Chainani (The School for Good and Evil) said of ENDLESS SKY: "An effusive voice that captures the exuberance of being young, gay, and in love..."
Book reviews still number far fewer than the sales figures. In fact, less than 10% of readers have posted a review at retail, Good Reads, or social media.
The top five countries for my novels: USA, Canada, Australia, England, and Germany.
There was also an increase in library acquisitions of my work.
Looking ahead, MISCONDUCT is currently at my editor and scheduled for an April 25th release. It's a young adult stand-alone about a sixteen-year-old boy groomed and seduced by a female teacher. I'm currently working on the young adult stand-alone SALT OF THE SEA, a gay romance/crime thriller. Then I'll begin work on AFTER DARKNESS FALLS, the third installment of DARKNESS ON THE HORIZON.
I also have a re-issue of THE BUTTERFLY HOUSE scheduled for Feb. 24th. The stand-alone haunted house novel will include revised text and a new cover. On the same day, CONDEMNED will be re-issued with a new cover.
Nothing official I can share publicly yet, but one of my novels might have some Hollywood interest. The possibility of a film adaptation is exciting, and I'll be beyond thrilled to share that news with you should it come to fruition.
Lastly, thank you to all the readers who purchased my books, shared their thoughts with me and their friends, posted on social media, and continued to support my published work. I am grateful and honored.
