My NaNoWriMo Book (The Eldermaid) is Out!
« on: January 05, 2015, 12:01:37 pm »
Hello friends,

Sorry I haven't been around much. My family's been dealing with some major health issues and I've been trying to focus on my writing (which is hard because my eyes still suck), but I FINALLY published my NaNoWriMo novel via CreateSpace and on Kindle (it's only been three years).

I describe it as "coming-of-age tale about friendship, political wrangling, religion, absent deities, strange spirit companions, and badass queer ladies."

Congrats! Your book sounds awesome!

There's going to be a bit of a delay unfortunately because I needed to change one thing and Amazon is like "Now you have to start the review process over," which is a pain in the ass.

So it might take a couple days for me to fix everything.

OMG I so totally hear you. Getting things with my book into the best shape possible for CreateSpace was, shall we say, a challenge. (Esp. when UPS kept botching the delivery dates for the proofs!)

Congrats, Lokabrenna, and I'll be picking this up to check it out.
The first song sets the wheel in motion / The second is a song of love / The third song tells of Her devotion / The fourth cries joy from the sky above
The fifth song binds our fate to silence / and bids us live each moment well / The sixth unleashes rage and violence / The seventh song has truth to tell
The last song echoes through the ages / to ask its question all night long / And close the circle on these pages / These, the metamythos songs

Congratulations! It looks really interesting.

I just downloaded the sample so I'll remember to buy the ebook after payday.   But I have to finish Altair's book before I start this one.  ;-)

I'm just replying to this to say that my book is back up and it's hopefully going to stay that way until I notice something else that's wrong with it. (Next book I am hiring a team of proofreaders cause I can't deal with this crap.)

You and me both. There are at least 2 incredibly minor errors that slipped through in my book (and I proofread professionally!), but they bug the shit out of me.

I just bought The Eldermaid for my Kindle app on my iPhone. I have to finish Morag's Bellica first, but then you're next.

Thanks for reminding me about Bellica! I'd intended to buy that one when I could, but forgot. Just bought it along with The Eldermaid.

So now I have 3 TC books to read. :-D I'm a little more that halfway through Songs of the Metamythos and loving it!
