Hi, all.
This has been a very busy week. House-sitting, regular job, one friend is in the hospital (on the mend, thank goodness), and another friend, I just found out, is going through a divorce… crazy, I tell you! Life is weird.
With all of this going on, I haven’t had a lot of time to concentrate on either promoting Cemetery Tours, editing the sequel, or writing the new manuscript. That’s the only problem with being an independent author. Along with regular life, you have to figure out how to get all of that done too. What I wouldn’t give for the luxury of being able to just work on my books and focus on writing! The good news is that it is almost the weekend. I plan on devoting the next few days to getting the sequel marked up, edited, and printed off again next week so I can start going over it myself and formatting it so I can finally move forward with ISBN and PNC.
That’s not to say I’ve gotten nothing accomplished this week. I did FINALLY manage to get my two Pinterest accounts Verified!
Unfortunately, it was simply impossible to verify through my company website, http://www.windtrailpublishing.com , so I added two new blogs to my WordPress account. I haven’t had time to really spruce them up yet, but once I get them up and running I will let you know.
I am also thrilled to announce that A) Cemetery Tours reached the top 200,000s in Amazon’s Bestselling Paperbacks.
Cemetery Tours has also reached over 500 likes on Facebook!

In preparation for the sequel’s release in June, I’ve also set a new goal. I want Cemetery Tours to have 50 reviews on Amazon by the time the second book is out. It has 37 reviews right now, so I only need 13 more. I’m really hoping we can make that happen. I’ve even started up a Review Party Event that people can RSVP to on Facebook.

Anyway, I realize that this post has mostly been me, me, me, but I am super excited about the sequel and future projects. What are y’all working on right now?
A Platform of Sorts 
Yeah, I know what you mean about being an indie author. I’ve been trying to work on my book but so many things are distracting me. I mean, I was just asked to run for the State of Michigan congress, and I accepted. So now I have a political campaign on top of everything else.
Sometimes…I wonder if I’m not crazy for taking on too many things.
Woah! That’s awesome! Good luck!
Remember the wise, witty, and wonderful John Lennon. “Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans.”
Love. Love. Love.
(Love is all you need)
But no, in all seriousness, I love that quote, and I try to remember it.
Been in a flare with my Lupus so I am behind on my writing and blogging. So I have been doing plenty of resting! Ready to start writing once I feel better, I miss it. 😦 It’s very therapeutic for me.
I am so sorry. I hope you feel better soon. One of my sister’s friends is recovering from a Lupus flare. I know what you mean, though. Writing is always therapeutic.
Hmmm. Sometimes reading your blog bascially creates a to-do list for me 🙂
I hope things settle down soon, so you can concentrate on the best part of the work.
Thank you so much! And yeah, sometimes I use this blog as a big to-do list. Helps me organize my muddled mind. 🙂
