End of January Report

The first month of 2023 is almost over, and my commitment to have the fourth book edited before the end of the year hasn’t changed. Six chapters have been edited for the first time. Twice a week, I dedicate an hour to writing the fifth book and whenever I have spare time, I write some more. The aim is to finish writing the fifth book by December.

I don’t know what 2023 has in store for me, whether I have all the time in the world to write or I have to find just a couple of hours at the end of the day. I don’t know if sales will increase, my readers will double, and more people will follow me on social media. I will continue to post on Instagram and Facebook with updates or quotes, or pictures. It’s too early to tell what will happen with my series.

I plan on having the second book available on Paperback in February once I test what it looks like. That way, people can have a physical copy of the book instead of an Ebook. My biggest fear is that once I have made it available, no one will know about it. The book is available on iTunes and Lulu, yet I don’t know if anyone is buying it there yet, also.

The third book is exclusively available on Amazon until February 8th. After that, the book will be on iTunes too.

Work in Progress

Working on the final book is a delicate process, it has to be perfect. The first book was 2000 years in a matter of 300 pages, speeding through the ages. This book has to answer questions from the first through to the fourth. I hope to have the book fully written in twelve months, but it will be a slow process. It took me 5 years to write book one because, I didn’t have plenty of time and I was working on the characters. I have been brainstorming the Immortal Legacy Series since the beginning. I just have to get the words right.

As I slowly write Book 5, I have to edit the fourth book, make sure that book has no mistakes, remove what is repeated or unnecessary. The book continues from the third book, so I need to make sure that the main characters get their story told.

Every week, I am going to work on the fifth book, writing paragraph by paragraph, and each week, I am going to edit the fourth book until it’s ready to be published. I am hoping that once people have read the first book, they are caught and wish to read more. With Immortal and the Hex and Class of the Immortal available on Amazon. I am hoping that the series will be read through to the end.

Come next month, Class of the Immortal will be out on iTunes and I will get Immortal and the Hex available on paperback. Doing this by myself, I am working solo, I have support from family and friends, but I am taking chances when to do things. I am a work in progress, I hope that by the time the final book is ready to publish, I have being fine-tuned.

New Year, Fresh Start

It’s 2023, the brand new year, a brand new beginning in trying to get my book sold. It’s been 6 months since ‘Immortal and the Hex’ was released on Amazon, and I finally decided to put the book on Goodreads. There it can reach a wider market, and more people will purchase all three books.

While I allow people to slowly come to terms with my series, I will be editing book number 4. It will be a long process. I have over 900 pages to edit and see if I can make it slightly shorter. I hope that in 6 months, I will have the book almost fully edited so I can work on the cover.

My writing style is unique, creative and complicated. I hope when people read the books, they will see the story and enjoy what is being told and take the journey through the written word. I know people won’t like it, or I know that it may look messy to some. I may need to work on it later in life, but the story is being told. Books 1-3 are available, and I hope people will read ‘Age of the Immortal’ without being deterred by the parts they don’t like and read beyond to get to the end.

Happy New Year

Goodbye 2022, the year is over. A brand new will start with new hopes and dreams, new goals and new challenges. I will begin editing the fourth book and work out a cover for it. I will work out prices for the paperback for book 2 and 3. I look forward to new readers, new followers and a bigger audience. Share to your friends, family, co-workers and tell them about Age of the Immortal and the Immortal Legacy series.

New Year’s Eve Fireworks.

New Year's Resolution

As 2022 comes to a close, a new year is not far away, the past few years have been crazy and anything is possible for 2023. This year I have done many things, I thought would be impossible, I graduated in person for the second time; I contacted people overseas to design covers for my book, I spent 3 days editing a book because the original file was lost. I ordered 100 copies of my first book to sell. I had a book launch with a very realistic looking cake. I attended events that have been online due to the pandemic.

I also learned a lot, how to use Instagram, created this very website. I learned that there are good people and then there are scammers when it comes to online activities.

My plans for 2023 are simple, each day I will edit up to 5 pages for Book #4. And each week, I will work on writing pages for the fifth book. When the fourth book is edited, I will get to work on designing the cover. I plan to put ‘Class of the Immortal’ on iTunes in January and organise a paperback version from Amazon for ‘Immortal and the Hex’ sometime before April.

I plan on looking for markets or other ways to sell my physical copies of the first book. I hope that those who have read it will let others know and spread the word so in 2023, the sales will begin to increase.

December's Longest Day

Today the sun rose at 5:41, and being the longest day of the year for us, the sunset is at 8:08; this means that the sun will be up for 14 hours and 27 minutes. Being the longest day means two things, the days are getting shorter, and the year is almost to an end.

This year has been a big one, in April, I found cover designers for my book, and in May, I got them printed and published online for the first book. In July, I had my book launch. I then submitted book two and designed a cover for my third book. In November, I released my third book. During that time, I had interviews with the radio, a university student.

My hope for 2023 is to have the fourth book edited and a cover designed for a Winter release. I also hope to be working in schools as well as going around NSW for my first book. It is a big dream, but little by little, with every sale it is possible. With still 50+ books at home, I hope they will be all out of my house by April.

Christmas Miracles

Being Christmas, there are parties happening everywhere with different groups of people. I am happy to tell people that I am an author or I write books and if they didn’t know already, it really gets the conversation going. But when someone buys the book after hearing about it, really brings hope that others will be interested in it too.

Only 3 days left of the Christmas specials, Class of the Immortal will return to full price on the 22nd. I used advertising to try to get sales, I have put up posts and stories. I am hoping for miracles.

On the first day of the special someone bought the second and third book. Now let’s hope more will buy it before Christmas. I am happy for it to take a while to get popular but I am hoping that people do know about it. The more people that find out about my series can buy it in their own time and tell others.

Christmas Promotion

To begin, this isn’t exactly what I wanted. I had hoped I could do something different for my Christmas Special Promotion, but I didn’t read the rules for Amazon correctly when I first planned this, and it is what it is. From the 14th of December/ 13th (for the UK and the US) for the next 7 days, my third book, ‘Class of the Immortal,’ will be on special with up to 80% off. That’s right; you can get the third book for less than $1 USD.

I have decided to do a Facebook ad, and try to get people interested in buying it from Amazon. It may cost me, but I am trying before Christmas to get as many sales as possible.

This special will end on the 21st of December (local time) which will be the day before the solstice. Be quick, grab all three books from Amazon before the price returns. Next week, Immortal and the Hex will have a paperback available but until then, it is only Ebooks except for the first.

Birthdays and Celebrations

December is a busy month, birthdays - Mine was in the second week - Christmas, New Year’s Eve. I gave my main character, Mitchell, a birthday in December too. When you celebrate a birthday, you are celebrating the fact you have survived another year. You went through trials, tests, courses and challenges. Each day is a new day, and they add up to a year on Earth. For my protagonist, that gets longer and longer with each passing decade.

Next week, when Christmas is less than 2 weeks away, there will be a special treat for those who haven’t bought the books yet on Amazon. In less than a week, there will be an early Christmas treat for the third book. Keep an eye out and take advantage of the gift this season.

Tease of what’s coming


For those interested in a signed physical copy who live in NSW, ACT or Queensland, get in contact, and I can send you the book. There are still 50-60 books left.

Where in the World?

December has arrived, Christmas is weeks away, and holidays, presents, family, friends, feasts. I would love to travel the world and see Christmas in different places, but all the traveling I do is in my imagination when I read books, when I research for my novels, I create images of the countries I mention. The first book may be in the past, but it takes you around the world. That’s where I hope my book will take me or at least where my book will be found.

This week leading to my special treat for Amazon Buyers, I will be sharing a picture with a place around the world on social media. I already posted the reel with them all. Share what ones you like, comment the location or a landmark found nearby. Tag a friend that has been to that country. Comment below what countries you want to have appear in the window. The more material I make the more I can advertise.
