I broke the stall on Bone Whisperer!

I finally got past 38,999 words to 39,685. Now if I can keep that up.

So Vella. I’ve been participating in some of the vella group promotions and got some reads and follows. The pay to play promotions work best of course as you’re guaranteed some reads there but a few of the free plays are working too. I had over 300 episodes read, 77 of which were ‘locked’ episodes/token paid ones last month so I will see what ‘bonus’ I get for July. You get bonuses for various things in vella. I got one for June though I wasn’t expecting it as I had just started then. But I did get a small bonus. I should get it in this month’s royalty payment. I plan to have BW done by the end of the month and all up on vella. I also put up the first chapter of my new vella story, Of Retribution and Ghouls but I won’t promote it until I have 2, 3, and 4 up.

Hootin an Hollarin is coming up next month. This would be the third year I’ve gone as a vendor. H-n-H is a craft festival that my hometown of Gainesville, MO puts on every year the third week of September. I ordered a few books but as I usually don’t sell a lot I didn’t order a lot. I want to be sold out. I would love to be sold out. That’s my dream every time I go to an in-person event. That people love my books so much that they buy every one from under me. But alas that doesn’t happen and I can’t afford to buy too many at a time. One I don’t have the money and two I don’t have the space to keep more than a box full anyway right now. I bought a new tote for my book signing stuff. It has small wheels on it. I was starting to have trouble carrying my tote, too heavy and awkward, so I saw a tote on sale with wheels and got it. Much easier to transport everything.

The plan is still for my T.L. books to be put up on IS in October. I plan to change my Ghostwolf covers for the move.

Stay tuned for the next installment.
