I hope everyone is having a great December so far! I just wanted to drop in and let you know that the first couple of chapters of my new YA Paranormal Fiction series, The Dead Oaks, are now available to read on Wattpad!
SYNOPSIS:
Jasper Jelinek believes in ghosts. Probably more than he believes in himself. After living a life of relative solitude and misanthropy, he suddenly becomes saddled with some unexpected new friends. Their obsession with the paranormal forces them to face the thing they've all been avoiding most: Life. And each of them must learn to deal with what it truly means to be haunted.
Typically, I plan to update this much like I currently do with HUNTER. Bi-weekly, unless I have those lucky weeks with more time to work on writing.
Speaking of HUNTER, have you caught up to the latest chapter yet? What did you think about that bombshell (without getting too spoilery)? I think you will love where this story is headed. It's probably not what anyone expected but you'll realize the clues have been there all along. Enjoy the rest of the crazy ride! There are a couple more books to come after this one that tie everything together, so plenty of surprises still await you.
As for my illustration work, (Which I generally don't talk about much on here because this blog is mostly for my books but I might start to incorporate it more.), I have some ideas lined up that I'm really excited to work on over the holidays and into the new year. I've got a fairly solid idea of where my focuses will be. I'm also getting my hands on some new creative tools soon and I can't wait to practice using them. Vague, I know, but I'd rather just wait to post the results once I get to that point.
There's really only one area that I'm debating on: What storefront to use to sell my work?? I really don't know. Currently, I mainly use Etsy & Redbubble but they're both rather empty at the moment while I decide my next move. Most of my sales have actually happened by people contacting me directly through DMs on social media. So, I'm not really sure how I should move forward with that. I am definitely going to keep using Redbubble because they give me the ability to offer products that I normally couldn't on my own; but for prints and original drawings... I'll either just stick with Etsy or maybe give Storenvy a second chance. I know, personally, I purchase most art from Storenvy. I've also seen people just sell their work directly on their Twitter, Instagram, or Tumblr pages. So many options! What do you all think? Thoughts, opinions, preferences, experiences? Any feedback would be great.
Until next time, here: Have some Ethan/Grady feels!
Thanks for reading!
