Howdy, everyone! I’ve been a bit busy this week, so instead of doing a full blog post, I wanted to give a few updates about this blog and my authorly activities:
Mailing List
First things first, I’ve finally figured out how the mailing list function on here works! I’ll be using that function more for alerting about blog posts, so it’s a good time to sign up, especially as I post more about Ghosts of the Steel Road.
There may be other uses for the mailing list soon, whether to do a short announcement about pre-orders or maybe do some monthly update, but I’m not quite sure right now. So, expect only the weekly notifications of blog posts in your inbox, and I’ll be sure to update when/if any changes happen.
Site Update: Coming Soon
My site’s been pretty much the same since I first published it at the beginning of last year, so I think it’s time to freshen it up! I’ll be (finally) finishing up some of the pages of my wips, along with making sure all of my socials and other information are updated.
The theme is definitely sticking around, because I love it, but I think it’s time to formalize things a bit now that I better understand how this website functions. Keep an eye out for these changes in the next few weeks, which will be mainly on the non-blog pages.
Now on Threads!
I’m learning more about social media, everyone! While I’m still a bit shaky at all of the different sites, I have now set up a Threads account, along with a Bluesky account I’m brushing off.
Over time, I’ll be testing things out to decide how to best interact on all of these platforms, especially with my debut coming out soon, but it’ll definitely be a bumpy ride. If anyone has any advice, though, feel free to let me know!
Ghosts of the Steel Road Publishing Date
And finally, a little update on Ghosts of the Steel Road. We have a publishing date, everyone!
On September 26th, I’ll be releasing Ghosts of the Steel Road on Amazon. I don’t have a page up just yet, since I’m still learning the process and working on a cover (which will be revealed during the summer), but I am set on releasing the paperback and ebook that day. Currently no plans to publish anywhere else, but that may change after the publishing time where I get more comfortable with the life of self-publishing.
Either way, I’m super excited for that day to come!
That’s about it for now. Mostly, I just wanted to touch base, since I knew I wouldn’t be able to write a full blog post for the week. I’ll be back into the swing of things next week, as I do have a few ideas for posts in mind.
Congrats on having a date!!! Can't wait to see the cover and order a copy 👀
Yay! Excited to see all the changes coming. And I'm glad you'll have paperbacks available from the get-go: I can't wait to add GSR to my shelf!
