#TWIST OF MY LIFE PATREON SERIES#
It’s hard to want to write a book when I know the series is popular on pirate sites but not selling anywhere else. To this date EVEN VILLAINS FALL IN LOVE remains my most-pirated book. I was writing the fourth book in the series, Maria’s book, when the press folded. While the ebooks were very popular on pirate sites, the press didn’t make money, and it eventually folded a few months after I released EVEN VILLAINS HAVE INTERNS. I had great editorial support there, an amazing cover artist, and a lot of love from the press. The Heroes & Villains series was, originally, published by Breathless Press, a small press in Canada. This is what keeps authors going on the bad days but it is also what can kill a book. For editors and artists those deadlines are very often non-negotiable once set. If it’s not a publishing house it’s an agent, freelance editor, cover artists, audio book person, or readers who are all expecting a certain title at a certain time. This is more on the personal side of Monday’s In Publishing, just roll with it…įirst, and maybe most important, is deadlines and contracts.Īs a published author you are moving on someone else’s schedule. So let me take you behind the curtain in the Emerald City to get a peek at what’s in an author’s head (and files) when we’re picking our next project, or at least how I go about picking my next project. And, Dear Reader, I had to honestly tell her I never published Maria’s book. A dear friend and reader messaged me over the weekend to ask where Book 4 of the Heroes & Villains series was.
