It’s been a hectic month of handling the sales since publication day. Our wrapped and sealed copies of the book have continued to go well. 

It has been humbling to read the reviews coming in for A Fool’s Errand from readers around the world. Knowing that others have loved the story I created makes me happy and helps transition to complete book 2.

I have started talking to bookstores and getting the novel stocked in physical stores, initially here in Brisbane, but will continue working on that, as well as libraries. 

It is available through Ingrams around the world so libraries and bookstores can source it, ask them if you want to get your copy through your favourite store.

I finished updating the world wiki and am working on the outline of book 2, Fool Me Twice. 

Key Work of Late:

• Restarting the In All Jest Podcast
• Reviewing the outline of Fool Me Twice
• Getting a sample print of the cover design for Fool Me Twice – I’m in love

I am now at just over 80% of the way through my final edit of A Fool’s Errand.

Out of the past six plus weeks this last has been the most productive and I can see the finish line.

Setting the release date has been another significant part of the last month as well. It will be available on October 16, 2020.

Key Work of Late:

• Editing A Fool’s Errand
• Recieving my first print proof of the novel, which was pretty special.
• Maintaining weekly episodes of In All Jest podcast, I’m up to episode 9
• Getting all my ducks lined up for the publishing process.

I’ve been working through my final edit of book one, A Fool’s Errand. It has started slowly but am now getting to build momentum.

Being my first time receiving an editor’s feedback on a fiction manuscript there’s been a lot of things to get sorted out in regards to how I process the inputs and move through the work.

This weekend has been productive and I feel that I’m making serious headway. I’m behind on my schedule by about 30 chapters but we’ll see what happens from now on it.

I also released my podcast about the writing process, called of course, In All Jest. Find it here.

Key Work of Late:

• Editing A fool’s errand
• Approving the cover design for Book Two.
• Starting the In All Jest podcast, and I’ve now recorded and published four episodes.
