The Darkened Path, Book 1 The journey Begins, Published today!!

Today publication began for The Darkened Path Book 1 and it is now released on Createspace right here. -->The Darkened Path Book 1    I am proud of myself that I finally got it finished like I wanted and the new version of the old book is more streamlined and refined! It will be something great to read and absorb yourself in while I am busy working on the second book, which I promise has a lot more in store for everyone! The Darkened Path is far from done and there's is a lot more of that path to be traveling on!   


Further distribution to Amazon and other sales outlets will follow in 3-5 business days while I upload and publish to their stores. There will not be a Kindle version posted to Amazon due to their  pickiness about who else you can publish with. I want the e-book version available to a lot of sales channels and Amazon doesn't want competition and tries to say you cant publish your e-book to other sales outlets for 90 days after you load it to their Kindle Store. So Smashwords and other places will be seeing a E-book version as soon as I can get it done.


  I just discovered today that Nook Press has now offered its own print publication service and I am seriously checking them out later! Now the next phase is to tackle Book 2, and edit the pages I added to it and then get on with the second part of the book. That section is going to take a bit of time. I have a lot of snippets, notes, and loose pages of material to go through and sort out and decide what to add and what to scrap.  That is a hard thing for me..to me..my writing is not scrap or meaningless in any sense but I have to be reasonable and say I cannot publish every miniscule detail and 3 sentence post-it note I have squirreled away in my folders! that would result in a several hundred pages worth of reading!


I really have to go for now..the second book must be finished soon! Bright Blessings to everyone and I hope you enjoy my new book!


 

The Darkened Path Book 1: The Journey Begins is finished!!

I had to come in here and announce that The Darkened Path Book 1: The Journey Begins, is finally finished and the printed version is going to be released this week on Amazon! I will be posting again soon when I get the link available! A full 7 chapters, 206 pages and 54,303 words are ready to go!! E-book formats are going to take a minute because Amazon gives you issues about having your e-book published in more than one place if you already have it set up on their Kindle site so I have to find a way to work around their little rule and still have my book available where I need it to be seen and sold.  


The second part of the series is well underway, with 104 pages and 34,028 words typed so far, it includes 4 years of a backstory related to "The Witch of Lone Oak" theme of the title. I am the Witch of Lone Oak character and I moved here 4 years ago, so yes I have to kind of include what has gone on in my life since the day I moved here. to me that makes logical sense. there's gonna be some fantastic stuff written into this next book so stay tuned y'all. Bright Blessings to all!!         

Cover for book 1 is redesigned!

Here is my redesigned cover for The Darkened Path Book 1:The Journey Begins. I do hope you all like it!! I have also changed the title to reflect the fact that it matches similarly to the title of the second book. All I have to do now is finish the interior, I have about 100 more pages to edit and revise and then we are ready to launch!!

Editing is half done! 11/9/2014

So here I am updating again on my progress into editing and revising The Darkened Path book 1. So far I have 240 pages, 66,480 words and 6 chapters finished. I am looking at possibly 7 or 8 chapters And I have decided that I can seriously do some choppy editing and tweaking to make the whole 28 years of my "past" life fit into the first book, so that I can focus on the time frame for when I began a new life journey after I moved back here to Tennessee in 2011. I am from Tennessee. I was born and raised here but for awhile I lived out of state and I had a different life there. When I moved back here after some devastating life changes, I had to make a very hard life adjustment and journey down a new path and become a different person.


The Witch of Lone Oak that describes and predominates book 2 is the woman who willfully rose from the ashes of a destroyed dream and clawed her way back into trying to rebuild and live a normal life  under a lot of personal adversity and social and economic challenges while becoming a stronger person inside and transforming myself into a new person. A bit of magical persuasion and skill and a lot of prayer to the God and Goddess helps this transformation along in some ways that even I didn't foresee happening!  A lot of things have to "die" in this second book, as we all know death is also a transformation and not just a ending. So stay tuned and see what awaits!!
