I'm polishing up 5 [yes, FIVE] separate novels for immanent release on Amazon/Kindle publishing services. Things have just gotten to the point where I really want to start getting my name out there, get people to reading what I've written and maybe attract some attention. If not...well...I tried, better luck next time.
The first one I'm starting with is Murder at the End of the World, a little mystery novel with a dash of Lovecraftian dark fantasy for that extra bit of spice. It started life as an experiment, to see if I could craft a self-contained novel that largely takes place in one location and follow one character exclusively. Went with mystery because it was a genre I hadn't tackled before and wanted to test myself. Lovecraftian dark fantasy because, hey, who doesn't like a little of that in their life? It's a bit on the short side at 46k words, but it feels right so I'm not going to try to pad it out just for the sake of numbers.
Hopefully I can get the last few details wrapped up on my final edit and get this out there by the end of this week, maybe early next week. I am excite!
Also, read this, if you want:
