Hey everyone,
Just a very quick post to say that I found a new review for The Redemption of Erâth: Consolation on the Amazon UK site. Short and succinct, but five stars nonetheless!
Just finished this book and I want more! I was totally drawn in to the characters stories. As the drama unfolds the pace quickens, encouraging your empathy with the main character. Good quality writing and a very enjoyable, emotional and easy read. Highly recommended!
Thank you, Hellbell!
Someone pointed out to me recently that part of my problem with selling The Redemption of Erâth: Consolation is that I have absolutely no back-catalogue—I’m an utter unknown, and no one’s going to risk their hard-earned cash (even $3.99 of it) on someone they’ve never heard of before. No ratings, no reviews—nothing.
So I’ve decided to take a step back from the novels for a moment, and (as quick as possible) brush up the History of Erâth I wrote as an appendix to the stories themselves. It’s an interesting task, because this history forms the foundation of everything that happens in the novels: it was the original NaNoWriMo project that spawned the whole series, back in 2012 (or was it 2011?).
Well … well, well, well. Look who’s still around.
I can only offer my sincerest apologies for my prolonged absence of late; I realize it’s been nearly two months without a word, even to say whether I’m still alive. I feel particularly bad, since I was off to such a great start this year; fifty-five posts between the new year and June—more than I posted for the entirety of 2014. And then …
Well, to be honest it seems to have become a bit of a pattern. Last summer was one of my worst, in terms of my mental health and depression, and this summer has been one of my worst in terms of simple motivation. I haven’t gone off my medications (like last year, fool that I am), but nor have I done much of anything creative, for nearly three months now. The Redemption of Erâth hasn’t seen a new word, and this blog has languished.
Being cooped up … led to an absolute loathing of my surroundings.
For what it’s worth, though, I haven’t been entirely idle. Here’s a short list of what I’ve done in the past two months:
That last one really kind of took a toll, to my surprise. It turns out that packing everything into boxes, shifting it from one house to another, and then being entirely unable to find anything for the next six months is kind of stressful.
