Pulling my hair out and biting my nails!

I'm working frantically to get the final edits for Suddenly done so I won't miss my deadline to for my August 15th release date. It seems to be taking forever to do these edits and I am having a horrible time finding uninterrupted time. It is sooo frustrating. Especially when I'm ready to move on to new stuff. I'm working on editing my short, erotica story Afternoon Delight. Once I get it edited, I'm going to take down from my website as a free read and post it on Amazon. I will be replacing it with another short erotica that will be up for free for a little while, then get moved to Amazon. If you are interested in reading Afternoon Delight , you can check it out at this link: https://sites.google.com/site/mxtudor08/home/afternoon-delight Also, I'm working on the next installment of the Continuing Story of Jamie and P. J. I will hopefully have that posted very soon.

More Continuing Story next week.

I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to get on here and post new information. I had some personal stuff going on and I got the final edits for Suddenly from my publisher so I'm working on that and trying to get it ready to be sent the press.  I will be posting a new segment to the Continuing Story of Jamie and P. J. next week, so please check back on that. Also, we are less than three weeks away from the release of Suddenly on August 15th.  I'm looking into getting some copies that I can sign and sell from my website and I will also be giving some autographed copies away.   So stay tuned.

Insane couple of weeks.

The past couple of weeks have been ridiculously insane. I've had all kinds of crazy dealings with my kids, work and friends.  I haven't had much time for writing unfortunately. But, I did find an erotica story that I had written months ago.  I'd totally forgotten about it. I've cleaned it and I'm going to work on it a little more, then, if all goes well, I'm going to post it on Amazon. We're under four weeks before Suddenly is due to come out. Keep your fingers crossed that there won't be any problems that will delay it's release. I'll keep you all posted of how that is going.

41 days and new post on the Continuing Story of Jamie and P. J.

Yep, just 41 days until Suddenly comes out.  I know that most of you who are checking out this blog may have already read the unedited version of Suddenly.  The official copy will be coming out on August 15, 2012 in both ebook and print copies.  I'm going to run a contest for getting autographed copies closer to the publication date so check back for information about that. Also, I just posted a new segment to the Continuing Story of Jamie and P. J., and I was blushing and grinning the whole time I was writing it. I hope you continue to follow the story. Check it out: http://suddenlycontinued.blogspot.com/ The next book will be a companion book to Suddenly giving you a new story line with some of Jamie and P. J.'s new friends.

Counting down the days

I'm counting down the days to the release of my young adult lesbian romance, Suddenly on August 15th. Just 42 more days and the book will be available for all of you to read.  I'm also working on the next book that will be a companion book to Suddenly.  The lovable Jamie and P. J. will be in it with a new cast of characters, some of which have been introduced on my other blog, The Continuing Story of Jamie and P. J. http://suddenlycontinued.blogspot.com/ I'm hoping to get the next installment posted today on that blog. I know there are some of you out there who are excited to find out what will happen next.  Keep checking back here and at my website: www.metudor.com for updates about Suddenly's release and other news. I'm going to be doing some book festivals and signings.  I'm also hoping to do a book tour. Exciting stuff going on so stay tuned!

California and Chaos

I haven't had a chance to post anything here for a few weeks. I've had a lot of chaos and I got to go to California for the American Library Association's annual conference that was held in Anaheim this year.  I had never been to California before so it was quite the treat. I got to go to see the Pacific ocean and walk on the beach in Newport. I also got to go the the Aquarium of th Pacific.  It was very awesome. I learned a lot at this conference about things that I had never really considered. I learned that you have to make sure your book gets cataloged correctly in the library systems so that it can be found by all of your potential audience, not just your direct audience.  I also learned that getting your book reviewed by the big reviewers like School Library Journal, Library Journal and Publisher's Weekly can be very challenging but very important to the success of your book.  Now that I'm back home, though, I will start working on the next segment of the ...

Updates

I've spent the last few days updating sites and working on a new story that will be a companion to Suddenly.  I'm still riding on cloud nine that Suddenly is actually getting published.  My publisher, Itoh Press has been great and is working very hard to get my book out to you as soon as possible.  As of right now, it should be available August 15, 2012! I hope you will all grab a copy.
