Blog Series- Press Send Part 5- Final Post



Blog Series- Press Send Part 5

Well this is it! The last week of my five part series Press Send. Thank you so much everyone who followed my progress that started in 2008 when I was first published. To now.
I appreciate each and everyone of you wonderful people!

Last chance to win a free Ebook. As I have mentioned every comment will be entered into a contest to win a free Ebook from my back-list. The winner will be announced on Saturday!
So here we go. We’ve submitted, been contracted, worked on edits, and promo the heck out the book- Now it’s time for release.

No matter what number release it is- it is always a special day!!! It cause to celebrate.
This week was the release of Pack Territory, third book, in The Were Chronicles. The Were Chronicles books have been one of my most prize baby. Each book had a set of characters that I just had to write. I actually wrote book 2: Pack enforcer before book 2: Pack Alpha. But I thought we needed to start with the Alpha first. Plus further along the series it is important to get to know Gage and Marissa.

I am what I call a series writer. Why? Because I prefer to read series so that is what I prefer to write. I like seeing the men and women that grab your heart. Don’t get me wrong. There have been books where I finally gave up reading the series- because everything that was done has been done at the author was just stringing it out.

However I don’t plan to do that. I know exactly how the series will end but can’t say too much, as we’re already halfway there.

As the books are released so comes the reviews, readers ratings, and blogs. I try to search for most of these. While most are good not all are. But then we just have to remember that everyone had different tastes.

One thing I found out over a year after I started submitting is that you never know what will happen. Books that are awesome to me may not be what publishers are looking for.
Remember that manuscript I named E that we were talking about. Yes well, it was my December 2009 release Eternal.

Interesting fact, when I first wrote Eternal they were not vampires. I tried to get it picked up as a Urban Fantasy story. Will after 9 rejections (yes nine) I re-vamped it. (Get it, re-vamped, Lol!)

Okay but let me say one thing. Eternal was one of the books I enjoyed writing the most. Why? Because anything was possible. I could make up the world they lived in.

Using shifters there is only so mush you can do to change them. To be realistic they must be between the animal and the humans. With Vampires your imagination is the limit.
I love that.

During the writing of Pack Magic, the unreleased, book four of The Were Chronicles I couldn’t get into it. I had written the outline back when I started the series. My style had changed. And it wasn’t until I re- outlined the entire story did I get anything done. After I wrote what I wanted- the writing took off. And I love it. It explodes off the page with the action and leads immediately into book 5. As much as I don’t want the series to end I love the end. Lol! If you know what I mean.

But as books are getting released that leaves plenty of work to do. I’m not finished yet and have plenty in store for you. I have three submissions out there at the current time. One werewolf single title, one vampire, and the second book for The Corporate Wolves Series.

So much much more will continue to come for me. As long as you stay with me I promise to not leave you behind, let you get bored, and keep bringing on the Hot Alpha men!

Thanks everyone for stopping by and I hope you will continue to do so. I have enjoyed writing this series.

NO! There is to be no talking of ending the series...do you hear me??? It just CAN'T happen! It's one of the only ones that I keep going back to re-read...*insert pouty face here*

Another good post Crissy, and yes I do know what you mean about some authors stringing out a book series. Sometimes it works out okay but many times it does not. If you know where you're going with yours and know how you want to end it...good for you.

Hey CJ,

Lol! It has to end sometime but don't worry there is eight books total scheduled in the series. So there is plenty more for you!

Hey Maria,

I am glad I'm not the only one. One of my all time favorite series is on book fifteen now, I after twelve I just couldn't get the urge to buy anymore. They are more expensive than most of the others I buy. I used to get them the day they were released and pay the hardcover price now... I wait till there clearanced. It just went on and on. Kind of dissapointing. I would have liked to see which guy she choose.

No Desi,

My publisher is a EBook site. While they do print a few select print books a month mine are not included.
The only print book of mine is Magical Menage in The Caught in the Middle Anthology.
