Gallery Page for 'The Perfect Rochester' Now Up

As the post title says, y'all. I finally got it together and did the gallery page for The Perfect Rochester, and since I'm still not quite 100% myself yet, I hope like hell the stuff makes sense. I was also able to get the print book set up, so that should go live soon enough. We now have less than one month before the book's grand entrance.

Progress on Compline has improved a lot ever since I decided to work extra chapters into the book. It helped me revise that problematic chapter I whined incessantly about, and now things are where they should be. Only minor tweaks are needed for the rest of the initial chapters I wrote, and I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Suffice it to say, they're nowhere near as troublesome as the one I just reworked.

I'm going to be hitting the 30K-word mark this coming weekend, and things will pick up speed once that line's crossed. Wow. It's almost mind-blowing that I'm so close to the homestretch. And to think I almost shelved this book three times. A big old emphatic "Phew!" to that.

As a bit of an aside, I'd like to address the year-long book sales I'm having for my backlist. I'm doing that to help folks get copies of my books at more affordable prices. Granted, my set prices for my e-books and print books are by design, and they're meant to be the most affordable for books written by an obscure author who specializes in a relatively small niche (gothic horror and ghost fiction + a hint of gay romance).

However, given current economic uncertainties, I'm not about to strong arm anyone into shelling out money for my books. 

So the other option I encourage readers to take advantage of is Hoopla. All you need is a library card if you live in the US, and you can borrow my books through that program. It's free to readers, and writers still get a small royalty per book checked out. It's a win-win for everyone, and all but The Book of Lost Princes are listed. The cover art for most of the older books aren't the more current ones, but the contents are the same.

So if you're interested in checking out my stuff but would like to save some money, go here for my author page.
