Hey, everyone—and Happy New Year! I hope everyone’s 2020 is off to a good start.
I’m very excited to say that the first draft of Book #3 is now officially finished. That’s exciting by itself for a number of reasons, one of them being that I can now devote 100% of my writing time to applying Showtime edits. My plan (you know what they say, if you want to make God laugh tell him your plans) is to have them completed and turned in to my editor by the end of February/beginning of March. After that, she’ll let me know whether we’re good to go or need to tweak anything else—or throw the whole thing into the fire to roast marshmallows. If we’re good, then it’s off to the races and things’ll be moving along more speedily—the fun stuff like cover design, marketing, advance reviews, etc.
It is my hope (fingers and toes crossed) that you all will have your copies of Showtime in your hands this year, sometime in 2020. It would be cool if the release date happened to coincide with summer reality TV since Showtime shares such a link with some of the shows that fill our screens in the summer months, but it’s just a thought, not a guarantee.
Just wanted to drop in and let everyone know that things are looking good and will be moving along a bit more speedily now. And, hey! If you made new friends at your holiday parties this year, it’s never too late to persuade them to buy a copy. ;)
Thanks again for your patience and support,
Ricky
Hello,
Waiting for the book “Richly Drawn”? Time for a quick update! I’m delivering a new draft to Inkshares in January.
What does this mean for you? Well, it means there are still several months left before you get your copy of the book. Sorry about that! The publishing business may seem slow, but it is a very thorough and good process. My editor and I are hard at work making “Richly Drawn” as strong as it can be, and we hope you’ll enjoy the final result.
So while you wait, have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year. I’ll come back to you as soon as I have more concrete news.
Thanks aplenty,
Wolf Kraft
