Publishing Time Frame and Teaser!

Wednesday, January 23, 2013
So as you guys already know, I originally planned to publish my book...like last weekend. That changed because of this immersion project in my English 104 class. I found out today that my immersion project officially starts the first week of February.

Do you know what that means????

It means that I'll be publishing my book within the next few weeks.

I don't have a definite date yet. Some of the people I sent the book to are still editing, so I'm going to let them do their thing. I'm going to read through it one more time and then make sure my formatting is correct and then it'll be ready.

Also, with the project, I'm going to start doing a few new things. I'm going to do book reviews, author spotlights, recommendations, etc. I'll be posting more often, because I have to immerse myself into the self-published/blogging community.

To thank you all for being so patient, I've decided to post another small excerpt. I hope you like it.


“How do you expect me to remain calm when you won’t tell me anything! One second, I was in my room reading a book and the next second I am here. I’m sorry if I’m a little confused. And how do you know that? How do you know that there isn’t something out there?” I point behind me. “I think something is following us. I keep hearing footsteps.” I start rambling when I’m freaked out. For some reason, I think that talking will make a solution magically appear.

It never does.

“It’s your imagination. You are scared and the forest recognizes that. I already told you this.” Liam says and takes a step forward, but stops and looks up.

The branches on the tree to my left, beside Liam, begin to move as if someone or something is moving throughout it. He looks at me as if questioning my emotions. I shake my head at him. I am not doing that. A dark figure jumps from the tree and crouches on the ground before standing up gradually.

Standing tall, the figure would have been over seven feet, but it is hunched over. Surrounding its body is a thick black cloak with fraying edges and rips along the seams. A large mouth with huge jagged teeth dominates its face. Dark liquid seeps from its mouth, piling on the ground while its piercing red eyes stare ahead at us. The beast appears to be floating an inch above the ground. An orb of gray, with swirls of black and red surrounds the being. 

Beastly dementors are going to kill me.


Thoughts?

When I have an official date, I will let you know. I've also updated the upcoming projects tab. I can't believe the responses I've gotten from the cover/synopsis reveal and then again with the first excerpt. I can't even tell you all how much it means to me. :)


That's all I have for today. Until next time!
