#amediting Lexx’s Story
Posted: March 6, 2015 in UncategorizedTags: author, beta reader, blogging, editing, writing
Well, I should be.
But I’m actually blogging about editing.
So, like… whatever.
Anyways, I’m making the first pass of edits through Lexx’s Story. Right now it’s all copy-editing and some sentence rearranging. When I edit, I like to knock out the simple stuff first (spelling, grammar, punctuation) and then move on to things like context and content. The first draft is normally for my eyes only, the second only gets seen by beta readers, and the third, well the third is the final, so everybody sees that.
And I mean everybody. (If you haven’t, then you ain’t everybody, and trust me. You want to be everybody.)
That being said, I’d like to open the door for some new beta readers. If you would be interested in receiving an ARC (advanced reader copy), there’s a couple things you gotta do:
1. You have to at least read the rest of the Savannah Zombie Novel series. Lexx’s Story will not make as much sense if you have not read the others.
2. It would be really helpful if you have REVIEWED at least ONE of my other works.
3. Lastly, I would appreciate you posting a review of Lexx’s Story when it releases. Those first reviews are critical for my books to gain any kind of traction and they help other readers know what to expect.
If you are interested in becoming a beta reader, email me at beencalled(at)gmail(dot)com
I will send you an advanced copy of Lexx’s Story and will also open the door for future works. (Book 3 anyone?)
Ok.
Back to work.

Busy Book Launch Week

Hey everybody, just wanted to give a quick update and let you know what I’m up to.
First, A New Darkness releases on Kindle this Saturday! You can still pre-order it and save 33% on this weekend’s price and 66% on list price. If you haven’t yet, go and get it here.
Maybe you’re like, “I still haven’t read A New Death yet.” Well, good for you, A New Death is on sale until Saturday! Get it for $1.99 here!
Or maybe you like paper. (Who doesn’t? Books smell amazing.) Well, good news for you, I’ve made some updates to the paperback version of A New Death and started work on the A New Darkness paperback this week. So both of those will be live in the next couple of weeks.
And lastly, I don’t normally do too much promotion leading up to book launch (one of my weak points) but this time around, I’m trying something new.
It’s called Thunderclap. Thunderclap works like this: You go and hook up your social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr) to my Thunderclap promotion. Then on Saturday at noon, Thunderclap will blast out a message featuring my book and link through all of our social media accounts. Pretty cool, right? The only catch is I have to get full support or else the message won’t go out.
As of right now, I’m at 14 out of 100 supporters. With only 14 people signed on, it already has a reach of 4313 people. Can you imagine if we get all 100?
I’ve done this before and have never received any junk mail from it, or any emails afterwards. It’s an extremely easy way to help support me. All you have to do is give up one tweet or status update on Saturday.
100 people is an easily reached number. We can do this. Sign up here.
Thank you so much for the support and I look forward to hearing what you have to say about A New Darkness!

Check out these zombie what ifs from zombie author Jack Flacco!
Lock your doors. Board your windows. Run and hide. This week’s Monday Mayhem series post brings you another Zombie What Ifs segment designed to challenge all you would-be undead slayers. If you haven’t worked through the first or second parts, no worries, you can have fun any ol’ way you want. Remember one thing—there isn’t any right answer to these. The point is to have fun, enjoy the moment and allow your creativity to run free.
How it works: I present a scenario filled with zombies, and your job is to figure out a way to escape. Of course I’ll give you my answer telling you what I’d do, but it doesn’t mean that’s what you would do. That’s up for you to decide.
Are you ready? All right then. Let’s go!
Scenario #1: Trapped in a locked car, windows rolled to the top and the keys having…

January will be the last month that A New Death will be available on Barnes & Noble’s Nook platform.
As a self-published author, I have limited time and resources. As of right now, I have decided to focus on just the Amazon market. Sales on the Nook are near non-existent, while A New Death continues to flourish on the Kindle.
If you have already bought A New Death for your Nook, don’t worry, it will stay on your device. It will just no longer be for sale in the Barnes & Noble Nook Marketplace. If you still wish to read A New Death on the Nook, I’ll keep it up until the end of the month.
I know that not everyone owns a Kindle. Don’t forget you can download the Kindle app for your iPad, iPhone and Android devices! I am also in the process of working on an alternative reading method of A New Death. I’ll keep you posted.
Thank you everyone for your continued support.

You can now buy A New Death for both Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble Nook for only $0.99!!!
Now’s a great time to check out the world of A New Death. Get it while it lasts!
