Susan K. Hamilton's latest update for Shadow King

October 17, 2018

Good morning, everyone!

I meant to send an update yesterday but life happened so I’m a day late on this one. It is officially two weeks since Shadow King launched, so I wanted to just give a quick update on how things are going.

Book Reviews
A few reviews have started to come in on Goodreads and Amazon. The majority are 4 and 5 star, so that’s outstanding. However, I’d like to get a lot more! When you finish reading Shadow King, please consider leaving a review on one of the sites. It only takes a few minutes of your time and they’re really important for helping a book pick up momentum!

Events
My first author event at Tatnuck Booksellers went well. Small group but there were a TON of questions in the q/a part, and I really enjoyed that. My next author event is October 24 (next week) at Belmont Books in Belmont, MA. Event starts at 7:00 pm.

I’ll also be attending Arisia in Boston in January. More details to come on that!

Press & Interviews
I was interviewed by WBZ AM Radio in Boston for their "Women’s Watch" segment. The interview was taped and will be aired/posted in the upcoming weeks. I will share a link as soon as it is available.

Upcoming interviews include:

  • November 17: interviewed on the Golden State Media Concepts podcast
  • November  28: interviewed for "Be My Guest," a local podcast/local cable news show

Once links to those or specific times are available, I’ll be sure to share that with everyone!

Future Work
I’m happy to say that progress on the ESCAPE Anthology (which will contain one of my short stories) is going well. The contributing authors are all in the process of reviewing the content, and I’m very excited to be included in this group of excellent writers. When production is finalized, I’ll be sure to let you know when the pub date is!

The Devil Inside is still in the pre-production queue with Inkshares. I am hoping that it will reach the editor in Spring 2019, but that will depend on how quickly the books ahead of it progress.

And, I am planning to kick off work on a new manuscript -- a follow-up to Shadow King -- during November.

That about covers the highlights for now. I’ll send another update when there is news to share!

Best,
Susan
