As many of you know, I launched an Erin Green Readers group on FaceBook several months ago. At present there are 115 wonderful members who have access to my weekly posts. As I write, edit and proofread each book, I share snippets of information with the group and they in turn respond to questions that I sometimes pose, if I need specific suggestions. This week, I paused the facility for new members to join as I am holding a prize giveaway as a 'Thank you' and wanted the two winners to be randomly chosen from the current members. New memberships will be resume in a few days. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I wanted to be fair as the group have supported me each week from creation to publication of 'Sunny Stays at the Shetland Hotel'. 3/5/2022 0 Comments Synopsis time!Morning folks, I'm on a mission this week having been asked the best question in the world by my editor ... what do you want to write next? You know that I've already started writing a fresh idea, with another hibernating in the background, but now I need to formally pitch to my editor, the creative team and the publishing group. Ekkkk! I love pitching ideas, but I don't enjoy writing the synopsis. I remember the first synopsis I ever wrote was four pages long - I went overboard on the detail by three pages! And there lies the problem, getting the whole idea captured in one glorious page! You'd think I'd be used to this process by now, but no - I've given myself until Friday to draft, polish and send two synopses (that last word sounds so wrong, just Googled the plural, but still doesn't sound right!). 5th May 2022 Update: Synopsis one has been created, polished and sent to my editor! Synopsis two has been created, polished once and ... I'm doing a little more polishing because well, you know, I just need to! 6th May 2022 - done and dusted. 2/5/2022 0 Comments Orange flags!On Monday, 2nd May 2022 - I have three orange bestseller flags showing on three of my books!!! Two of which haven't been published yet, so are purely pre-ordered sales from readers eagerly anticipating the forth coming publications. Woo hoo! This is a first for me.
A huge 'Thank you' to everyone who has purchased in recent days - you helped to make this happen! xx 1/5/2022 0 Comments CampNaNo April 2022Done and dusted, folks! Though not in my usual manner as I was busy with Shetland book 4. I'm happy that I hit my challenge goal, but I usually indulge my muse a little more than I did due to the project juggling. My CampNaNo project is a brand new idea which I briefly mentioned to my editor a few weeks ago. I'd best write a synopsis and see if it has 'legs' with the publishing team!
