Trackers is almost complete!
I wanted to post a quick update here since I haven’t posted one in a while. I just finished writing chapter fifteen of book seven of the series. Just one more chapter to go and then I can start the proofreading and editing process. I’m anticipating having the book out in another week or so, after which I’m going to take a short break from the writing so I can spend some time marketing the series, which I haven’t done at all yet. My plan’s always been to get a good number of books out there so people could really dive into the series and have a lot of material to read through from the get go. Well I think seven books constitutes a “good number of books”, so I guess it’s time to start really trying to get the word out. Unfortunately, that’s just part of being a self-published author. If I had an agent and a deal with a publisher, the publisher would be taking care of the marketing and such for me. Oh well…wish in one hand… 🙂
The initial work on Trackers is complete! Now for the proofreading…
So I’ve just completed the initial story for Trackers, which is book seven of the series. Last night I started the proofreading and editing process and I should have it finished up and published by the end of the week if I don’t hit any snags. The next book in the series is going to be called Ghost Worlds and will likely combine story elements involving both of the teams in Washington and Scotland. Trackers was devoted entirely to the team in Scotland, though characters from Washington do make brief appearances through webcam chats and such.
This is also officially the longest book in the series. I’m only half of the way through proofreading chapter one and I’ve already broken the 100k word mark. Most of the books in the series fall in roughly the mid 90k range.
Anyway, back to proofreading, which is something I actually hate doing because it’s like re-reading a book you just read, only in this case…I wrote it. 🙂
