Goodbye October, Hello NaNoWriMo!

Published by Admin on October 31, 2018

Greetings and Happy Halloween!

There’s only a few hours left in October. Kids and adults are out trick-or-treating and we’re inside getting ready for the kickoff of NaNoWriMo. We’re stocked up on tea and coffee and ready to get to work!

NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month and is a challenge to write 50,000 words in 30 days. Sydney is a Municipal Liaison and organizes write-ins for her region in southern Maine. We both started NaNo way back in 2004 and still do it to this day. Our released novel Chasing Destiny was a NaNoWriMo novel. This year Sydney is starting a new project and Dani will be working on our next adult novel.

We are in a cover contest with Chasing Destiny. If you haven’t voted yet, please do so here: http://www.indtale.com/polls/creme-de-la-cover-contest

Our next novel, a New Adult novel, has been submitted to our publisher. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that they’ll pick it up and publish it.

Sydney will be selling books and signing them at the Lebanon craft fair this weekend. It’ll be her first time out selling and signing.

Want to give us an early Christmas gift? Leave us a review of Chasing Destiny on Amazon or Goodreads. Amazon’s algorithms are based on the number of reviews. The more reviews we have, the better our books get out there, so please leave a review.

Moving along

Published by Admin on October 27, 2018

The seasons are moving along up here in New England. The trees are beautiful with their yellows, reds, and oranges and once in awhile we get a perfect sunny day to enjoy the autumn colors. Most days are cloudy, on the cold side, and damp. Today we had snow mixed with rain.

The seasons aren’t the only thing moving along, but Dani and I are moving along with our next books. One has been submitted to our publisher for consideration. It’s a New Adult and features new characters, but Akantha and Damianos make appearances. We’re also working on editing the next TWO books. One is an adult novel with two new characters and the other is the next book in the New Adult series.

NaNoWriMo starts in less than a week and that means we’ll both be working on new books. It’s been a productive year so far and looks to be finishing strong.
