Today's the last day to get Wish in One Hand for free. Well, until the next time it's free. Which probably won't be until 2022. So, if you want to read it for free and don't want to wait, I suggest you hie yourself to Amazon and download yourself a copy. Tomorrow the price goes back to $3.99. Save yourself four bucks.
Lest you think I have, in my total immersion in this fantasy, forgotten my other books...
On Wednesday the 18th, it will be Wish in One Hand's book birthday. Six years old. Just a wee babe in the scheme of all written materials but probably, in book years, middle-aged or something.
To celebrate, starting Monday, this first of my forays into urban fantasy will be free for five days. If you enjoy it, I hope you'll pick up the other three books in the series.
As always, all my books are available through the Kindle Unlimited program, so if you're into that, you can get all the Once Upon a Djinn books free with your subscription to KU and read to your heart's content.
Just so you know, I'm not dead. And I really am working on the book. Books. Whatever.
Okay, so it was a book. As in singular. Now, I think it might be several books. A trilogy of books. Each would complete an arc for the characters, with the overall main arc completed in the third book. And subsequent books will follow the overall arc for these characters and this world.
If I'm right, it'll go like this: 1) Training at the Academy 2) Hero Stuff 3) Epic Battle Stuff.
Not sure if I can pull it off as three whole and complete novels, but I'm digging deeper into everyone and everything. Fleshing it out. Making it real. And re-writing the beginning. As I do this, I know it's going to be a behemoth if I leave it as just one book. So, the idea now is to make this one book into three books. We'll see how that goes as I keep making notes and writing new words into the beginning.
Fantasy... it's a bear, but it's so much fun.
And hey, since I'm not sleeping, I have plenty of time to write. Right?
If you've tried to stop by my other main blog - The Writing Spectacle - this morning, you may have gotten a note that the blog has been removed. I didn't do it. They did.
Before I'd even finished my first cigarette this morning, I got the following note in my inbox:
Hello, As you may know, our Community Guidelines (https://blogger.com/go/
So, I go to the link (which I've redacted) and it makes me jump through the anti-spam picture clicking thing to prove I'm not a robot. Then it says it'll review my request sometime in the next two days.
By the way, here's the verbiage of their Phishing policy:
Phishing: Do not use this product for phishing. This includes soliciting or collecting sensitive data such as passwords, financial details, and social security numbers.
I NEVER do any of that. So, this is either a glitch or it's the beginning of the end. I'll be here at Outside the Box as long as they let me. I hope it's a glitch because I've had The Writing Spectacle since 2006. Fifteen years of posts. And not once have I ever tried to get any information out of any of you.
Of all the things they could've used to kill my blog, that certainly wasn't the one I would've expected. If you haven't read the 'Content Policy' lately, it's an interesting read. For varying definitions of interesting, of course.
Anyway, I'll let ya know if they reinstate my blog. For now, I'm going to suck down copious amounts of coffee and smoke a lot of cigarettes. Guess I picked the wrong lifetime to quit drinking.
