The Minor Years - a Narvan Novel has been sent of to the proof reader as of Monday morning. The cover is mostly done. The blurb is written. The cover? I should share that, shouldn't I?
I'm excited to share this novel with everyone this fall. It's a companion novel to the main series, told from the point of view of the secondary characters and takes place in the gap between Trust and Chain of Grey.

An official release day is coming. Stay tuned!
Seeker: The Narvan Book 4 is hanging out in Canada with Stella. Check out her book and her book reviews while you wait for her to finish putting red marks all over mine.
In other news, I'm working on a short story for a special project while waiting for another author to finish her edits so I can proofread her next book. And brainstorming on a proposed new co-authored series. Always plenty of projects. Never a dull moment!

Which brings us to... this month's Insecure Writer's Support Group question: How do you define success as a writer?
Success is a lot of of things. Finishing a book. Your first book. Your next book. Sticking through any book through the editing process. Getting published. Doing your first book signing. Top of my list would be having readers come back year after year for my newest book. Readers make all the work worthwhile. Thank you, readers!
Wow. You have been super busy. Congrats on finishing The Minor Years and getting it to your editor. Readers are our life blood. They are so essential to our writing success.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Diane. I miss you at events. :)
DeleteSeconding the congratulations on completing your draft! So, was that the easy part, or the hard part?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWaiting. That's always the hardest part. Thankfully Stella is speedy, which means I'll get to the second hardest part in short order: digesting all the editing feedback.
The easy part is writing the book. :)
Yes, success can be defined in many ways. And congrats on your new cover. It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Natalie!
DeleteBest of luck with your new work. It's always a joy to find a manuscript!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Judy.
DeleteHaving readers come back time after time is a great measure of success, Jean. And good luck with editing #4.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'll likely need it. I'm sure I'll be seeing lots of editing notes soon. :)
