The Children of
Atlantis
There are several
more books planned in the series. I was writing the short story, Ethan’s
Trials, when I realized this was actually the beginning of book 4 in the
series. So, I stopped writing and set it aside. I need to plot book 4 with this
story incorporated into it.
I’m finishing the
outline for book 3. I’m one of those writers who has to know what happens from
the beginning to the end of the book. The outline is my road map. I have to know
where my characters are going on their journey.
My goal is to have
book 3 out sometime in December/January.
Wisteria Mountain
High series
The Monster’s
Scribbler has been out in ebook for a couple of weeks. The paperback is now
available at Amazon. In a few days, it should be available in paperback at
Barnes and Noble. I’m really excited about this book.
The Monster’s
Scribbler was actually written several years ago…a good three years before I
even had the idea for Guardian of Atlantis. After I finished The Monster’s
Scribbler, I started the search for an agent. I got several partial requests
(they wanted to see x amount of pages) and even a request for the entire
manuscript. I was ecstatic!
But the manuscript
was rejected.
The common excuse
was “it’s not right for us.”
During this time, I
wrote the second book and started outlining the third and fourth books. As the
rejections piled up, I decided to shelve the series and move on to another
idea. At the time, self-publishing was not even on my radar.
A couple of months
ago, I was sifting through some of the files I had moved from my old computer
over 1 ½ years ago. I had not looked at them in years, and had no idea why I
decided to move them to my new computer, but I did. Anyway, I found the
Wisteria Mountain series file and tucked inside was The Monster’s Scribbler.
I read the story.
I read it again,
this time fixing anything I thought needed fixing. I created a cover, formatted
the files, and uploaded everything.
The Monster’s
Scribbler, Book 1 in the Wisteria Mountain High series was finally published.
Book 2 in the
series needs to be read, fix any plot problems, and rewrite. I also need to
look at the plots I’ve already done for the next two books and redo them.
