I feel like I am finally getting a handle on this marketing thing. And I think October is going to tell me whether or not I've got it right. I've planned a lot of promotion. Fingers crossed that it all works out.
October 3 - cover reveal for Gleanings. You will get to see the fabulous cover that Alex created at SFFWorld and then here on the blog.
October 2 - 8 Facade ebook will be discounted to 99cents.
A map reveal for A Changed World is still in the works.
October 14 - 18 Lethal Seasons will be free in the run up to Gleanings ebook release.
October 19 Gleanings, A Changed World #3 ebook release date.
October 19 - 25 Gleanings ebook available at a discounted price of 99cents.
The paperback for Gleanings will be out late in the month.
Whew.
And now I need to get back to outlining book 2 for the Transmutation series and a flash that I promised to a Christmas anthology.

A Lot Going On!
I am not quite in panic mode because of all the great stuff going on right now, but it's close!
Alex Storer is working on a cover for Gleanings. I've seen the drafts and it is amazing! I can't wait to do the reveal for it. I'm working on setting up the reveal with SFFWorld. More exciting news. I don't have a date yet. But as soon as they get back to me I will post it here.
James at Curious Cartography is working on a map. It's just in the preliminary stages, but I am super excited about that, too. I have wanted a good map for this world since the first book. And I have had plenty of requests for one. Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
Lethal Seasons will be included in the Apocalyptic Fears III boxed set, slated to be out October 1. David Van Dyke/Reaper Press has been very easy to work with. This is a new adventure for me. Fingers crossed that it brings in new readers.
In addition to the usual box set of novels, David is putting together an anthology of short stories for Apocalyptic Fears 6. It's in the works now. I submitted a short story that hints at the beginning of the disaster that turned into A Changed World.
I hadn't looked at that story in a long time. When I wrote it, I was very proud of it and shopped it around. It racked up one rejection after another. I couldn't understand their comments and just took it to mean that it wasn't right for those editors. Looking at it, with a few novels under my belt, I saw lots of problems. Most of which stemmed from not getting all the information out of my head and onto the paper. It only took a few tweaks to make it a much better story...I hope.
In October I will be dropping the price on Facade and doing a limited run of free for Lethal Seasons. Sign up to my newsletter and I'll let you know when it happens.

A Changed World Update
Good news - I just got Gleanings back from the 2nd round beta reader. She gave me some great feedback.
Bad news - it's going to need more rewriting.
Not sure what's up with this one, I'm just having a hard time with it. But I think I can see where the fixes need to go.
More good news - Curious Cartography will be doing a map of the world. I am really excited to see what he does with it. I'll post pictures as soon as I've got them.
As usual, I will have a cover by Alex Storer. We have just started talking about it. I'll be doing a reveal as soon as it's done.
That's it for today. I need to go spend time on writing!
