\n<\/p>\n\n\n

As per norm<\/g>, my summer writing time was waylaid by a pair of not so little boys. They turn 8 next month. I also lost a day of work, its very slow in the summer where I live so hours get cut. Which meant that I lost a lunch\/writing break as well. The last<\/g> two weeks of summer break I was tapped out. I didn’t write a word during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now for the good news. I’ve started two short stories. The first one is about the first significant case that April and Gamble worked on together. The other is a traditional ish faery<\/g> tale that I’m writing for an anthology Craig Martelle is doing with the 20 Books to 50k Facebook Group. Hopefully, they like it and that I get it done and edited before the November 24th Deadline. If you’d like to read some of it, the first couple hundred words are in<\/g> Instagram. Look me up. I’m known as Magicsoulsister. Follow me while you’re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two weeks ago I did a 5 Day Amazon Ads Profit Challenge with Bryan Cohen. I didn’t really need to do this but it had been over a year since I’d ran Amazon ads and I wasn’t familiar with the new format. Turns out the user interface didn’t change much. While I was there Bryan pointed out that the reason I have so few clicks was because the title font wasn’t readable in thumbnail. I’ve been tinkering with building my own cover and created a couple of options. The first one resembled how broken April was at the beginning of the story but I couldn’t get the title to show up easily so I gave up on that one. I did have fun figuring out how to give her werewolf eyes and red hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next one is a cityscape in<\/g> gray<\/g> scale<\/g> with an amber moon. I’ve been told it looks like a DIY cover. I’m okay with that. Its<\/g> still pretty, it still grabs attention and the title is readable in thumbnail<\/g>. Fingers crossed that it gets me sales. Why don’t I go buy a new cover and have the original cover designer modify the original cover so it is readable in thumbnail<\/g>? Because I have to go to Reno for a veterinary convention for continuing education so I can keep my license. Because I’m not making enough writing to quit my job. When my bosses asked me if I wanted to go to Reno they didn’t<\/g> have to twist my arm very hard. I plan on spending one day there playing, writing, etc. I don’t need all the hours they offer. Go to the book page and see the new cover!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
