Today was a pretty good flex day. I decided to do my word searches on Mrs. Molony. As part of The Hat series, they’re smaller books and it didn’t take long at all. Took longer to whine about it than to do it.
Based upon word searches, I never had to change a thing. My critique group has eagle eyes. I also took on a complete read through, and did reword a couple of sections. This is where the month away really helps. About the only thing I didn’t do was make a cover page and copyright data.
Imagine my excitement when the cover for Mrs. Molony showed up in my mailbox today. It turned out really good, but sharing it right now might be counter productive. My immediate push will be for book two of the Lanternfish trilogy.
Lanternfish is in the hands of my formatter. I figure it will be ready to publish in a week. Might even get to it this coming weekend. Then I’ll have to shift into promo mode and try to spread the word.
I also placed an order for artwork to accompany Mrs. Molony. We’re going to start off with the cartoon graphics that go inside the body of the text. These just add to the corniness of these tales. After that, I’ll get Sean started on a couple of Lisa Burton posters to promote with.
All in all, it was a productive day. It’s nice to move ahead on Mrs. Molony because I’ll be knee deep in Lanternfish promotion real soon. Hope all of you had a good Monday. Back to work for me tomorrow.
That’s awesome progress. Congrats.

Yes it is, but it hasn’t been much better than the rest of 2020. I really wanted Grinders to make a bigger splash than it did. No telling what people are going to like. I keep telling myself there are still months left in the year of the rat.

You’re a writing machine! How you do it and work full-time, I have no idea.
I spent all day yesterday updating every page on my website. Not the funnest day ever, but it feels good to finally get it done. Some of the pages I hadn’t updated since 2015! *facepalm* Today, I’m writing. 🙂
