Raven update

10.6.11

It's exactly a month since I released Raven as an ebook and I must say I'm thrilled with the response I've received. I've sold a total of 28 copies so far, received a number of 5 star reviews from book bloggers and readers and I've been featured on a few great sites (interviews and guest posts). It's a slow process but I do believe I'm getting there!
Work on the sequel, December Moon, has slowed a little over the past two weeks, more because of my frame of mind - I've been feeling a little down and felt that writing in such a state of mind wouldn't help my writing. I am starting to feel better now though and I'll be back to work Monday morning with a new bounce in my step... or should I say fingers?!
In the meantime, I've begun thinking about the cover for December Moon but I don't feel that I can do the same as before (ie take a photo of myself in the forest and then manipulate it to look like a skinny teenager!). So I have decided to buy an image from a digital image site and work on that. I would have hired a graphic designer to do it but all my pennies have been spent on hiring a professional editor instead, but I am confident I'll find the perfect cover pic!
Lastly I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who has been so supportive over the past month or so... your kind words have helped me no end. xx

  2. Congrats on your first month! I'm half-way through Raven and I LOVE it! Can't wait to see what Lilly will do next! And I say "see" because your writing is very visual.

    Looking forward to December Moon (great name, that!)
