As a neat writing tool, an author may conduct an interview with a character from their story. This can help the author get their head around the character and try to flesh out some details. In this case, Arty Behrman is the new main character to the story following my novels Cordell's Rebellion and Hour of Consequence.
Novel
I have a story from the same world as the last two that started with Cordell's Rebellion. The main character was a side character in Hour of Consequence. The story arc is complete. Unfortunately, there is no character arc. Oops!
Have you ever looked at a physical task and thought you should be able to perform it only to find out that you can't? Your first thought may be, "I used to do that all the time," and then you remember that you haven't been exercising like that for a while. Writing can suffer from the same problem.

The coming summer brings writing time. Story ideas flood my thoughts. Starting as the occasional drip, it's grown into a full rush of plans and plots. I wonder where they will go and if I can capture them all. It looks promising, so far.
I decided my book could use more exposure, so I did some research. A press release seemed like a good option. Only time will tell the final value of the release, but the experience was definitely educational.
I just finished reading a novel by my friend Alethea Shenea Cook called Just Wing It. This is the brief review I left on my goodreads page.

Now that my novel Hour of Consequence is out in both eBook and paperback versions, I need to start the marketing. I already did the simple stuff, like announcing the books on social media. The more professional stuff is next. It will be my first time with an all-out marketing activity; what wonderful mistakes will I make?
My new novel, Hour of Consequence, has gone to press. There will be some processing time before the print version is available. However, the eBook version is ready right now. Get it here.
In my first novel, Cordell's Rebellion, one will find the lyrics to three songs from one of the characters. Since I had written the songs anyway, so I could include snippets in the story, it seemed like a nice thing to append. Now I have the question: should the second novel also include song lyrics or poetry at the end?
Most of the editing is wrapping up on the second novel. The scenes have been laid out and characters assessed. The last part will be adding weather to the story. "Shouldn't that already be done?" you ask. Some bits, perhaps, but now the real weather work begins.
