The Weekly (okay looking more like monthly) Round Up!

[jgraeme2007]

The (rough draft) of The Haunted Heart is now complete at Wattpad. I'll be leaving it up until I expand, edit and publish the final version through regular channels. So enjoy.

I've sold two projects to Carina Press for 2014. Stranger on the Shore (excerpt here) and the sequel to Fair Game (titled Fair Play).

Man Oh Man is now available in digital.

First off thanks for posting the draft and good luck with everything else.

Got as far as chapter 12 but it's been hinted I'm being anti-social so the rest will have to wait awhile ;)

Only niggle - I was a bit confused with his uncle collecting objects-of-interest for his museum and yet Flynn being in an old cluttered house. You've got the explanation there -muesum closed as he aged- but before that I couldn't figure if the house was part muesum and if so how is there a lodger...

Enjoy your vacation.

Glad you're enjoying it. Yes, there are definitely a few places to smooth out and expand. I'm taking a complete break from the project till I get back from vacation, so it's all becoming a little fuzzy in my mind. But that's perfect. That's ideal, in fact, so I can look at it with fresh eyes.

Thank you for the update, dear Josh!

I like the sound of all of this.

The only thing I don't catch is why is your twitter followship important to you. Anyway I suppose you can accept that some older people - like me - will never follow you on twitter. I do follow you everywhere else though ;-).

Enjoy your holiday!

Well, if we're going to be completely honest, it doesn't. :-D

I get more mileage out of a thousand dedicated followers on Goodreads or FB than most authors get out of 16K on Twitter. :-D But it looks good to agents and publishers, so I play the game.

Great news all around! :-) Congratulations on the future projects with Carina. I resisted reading the excerpt for almost two hours... and now, urghh, i will be *so* patiently waiting ;-)
Speaking of the excerpt, the beginning of the story - how aptly creepy for that to happen during a Midsummer's Night Dream party.
Can't wait for the books!
I also hope you will make the best of the upcoming vacation, it's so very important to recharge. :-)

Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to those two projects.

And I Can't. Wait. For. My. Vacation. :-D
