Working on Sequel to First Novel, Hunting Mariah!

I need to spend some serious time working on my sequel to my first novel, Hunting Mariah. There have been so many distractions and now I need to give it all my attention.

My husband just completed illustrating my new children’s book, Clarence Henry the Hermit Crab. LINKS NOW AVAILABLE BELOW:

AMAZON

BARNES & NOBLE

No matter how many books I publish there are always some snags that have to be taken care of whether it is downloading to CS or to Amazon Kindle. We are dealing with them without pulling out what hair we have left! Just keep on smiling, I say, and keep moving forward. Things will come to fruition!

Now that John completed the children’s book (1 book done out of my goal of 5) he can concentrate on working on the cover for book 2 of Mariah. I would like to use my niece’s lovely face again if she can supply us with her likeness.

I am working on the last few chapters of the book but need to do some intensive editing then only to Beta Readers for polishing it up some more.

Please excuse me if I don’t post for a little while. I may share some of my friend’s posts, like, Hugh Roberts and Sally Cronin’s, for example. There are also plenty of posts for you to look through on my blog until I can get back here.

Please check out my website too for updates on events. I have a Multi-Author’s Event coming up on February 2, 2018 in Sandown, New Hampshire. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer and I have more information to share.

Thank you for stopping by and for continuing to visit! It is a pleasure to have you. Please keep coming back. I will have more news about publications coming and author events and book signings.

    Good luck and I hope your time out is creative and productive. I think I’ll have to do the same in February and keep my head down.

    Janice, good luck with your sequel and nearly there!! So exciting! I have just downloaded the final file on CS and it feels intense – so worried I’m doing something wrong but all being well their review is back in 24 hours and I can release my first paperback!! It is an amazing feeling! xxx

      Best of luck! Doing children’s books with so many illustrations is difficult to download especially on Kindle. We may not do a kindle copy on this latest book. They aren’t as good as the paperback. 💕

      • Annika Perry says:

        Janice, this is something I’ve been pondering and I know myself that I would always prefer an actual book with the illustrations for younger children. Thanks for the tip! xx

        I know some people like ebooks but for children I think they would enjoy the physical feel and touch of a paperback. Xx

  4. Cheering you on, Janice! 🙂
