The Betty Adams Goodreads site is up and running right along.
 "Dying Embers" has its own page and is just waiting for some nice comments, likes, and shares. Rate that bok! 
For those who don't know Goodreads is a website where book lovers congregate to talk about and rate the book they like and despise.  So there will be plenty to keep you busy there even if you don't take a fancy to "Dying Embers".

 Disquis, Jokes, Videos, and TV Tropes

10/28/2014

Comments

 
I have decided to add a joke a day!  The question will be at the top of the blog and the punch line will be at the bottom.
This first one is for all you gluten feel people out there.

What do you call a fake noodle?

Well I have been a busy little at-home marketer these past few days;

I have been fleshing out my TV Tropes pages

Improving my adds on Project Wonderful, (So far I’ve had over a hundred clicks from those adds.)

Contacting review agents, (For when the campaign is successful and I have a real manuscript to send them)

Bugging my publisher, (I think I can hear the poor man’s tension building from here.)

Recording videos, (I hope to have an ASL video version of chapter 17 up soon but we will see.)

Getting the Abby Adams Disquis account running, (So far so good, but it could use a test.)

Hopefully this will all increase traffic and participation in the Bookstart campaign. We are already up to nearly $200,  and I have had several people promise that there will be more after the end of the month!

As usual comments are my delight and encouragement! So try out the Disquis comments below! 

Joke Answer: Will be posted as an image later. Give it your best guess!

Announcing a new goal!
I am going to try to post at least weekly video updates.

Don't expect much, it is just a test but there are kittens.

New Games Page!

10/23/2014

Comments

 
Betty Adams Tall Tales now has a brand new games page!
There was this little bit of extra room at the top of the pages list and I thought to myself that it should be filled with something. And what is more fun than some good old games.  Except now there is just a drop down bar under "others" and that little space is still there...
Ah well.
I chose three classics that never go out of style.

Solitare of course. (How else are you going to kill time until Dying Embers comes out?)

Spider Solitaire for variation. 

The slightly newer but already counting as a classic Sudoku. 

So go on and give it a try! 
Really, especially in the Pacific Northwest. The weatherman is calling for a week of fall storms.  Five days, five different ways of saying rain. 

ALSO! 

The Comments Page is up and functioning of the Dying Embers Bookstart Page! Go tell them what for!

Editing and Publishers

Well I thought that the Bookstart video I posted made excellent use of humor and available resources. Turns out my Publisher had a slightly different viewpoint. According to his experience that sort of thing can hurt a campaign. So I guess it is back to the scrap heap for that version. Fortunately the original version I had created (which I had scrapped for not being exciting enough) was still safely stored on my harddrive. 
So I present to you....
Dying Embers Bookstart Video 2.0  (or maybe beta?)

Dying Embers Bookstart Page is Up! 

10/21/2014

So the good techy geeks over at Malachite Quills Publishing have got the Bookstart Page for Dying Embers  Funding up and running! 
So head on over and check out the blurbs. Download "up to 1/3 of the manuscript" and get a feel for the story.
Then clicky and make a patron pledge! There are dragon eggs and tea times to be had!

Illustrations and Editing

The publisher has chosen a cover image and is ready to move forward with the Bookstart campaign! The page should be up is just a few days now. This is exciting! 
The funding goal is $1300. Any less than that and it is a no go on the actual publishing. Any more than that and your's truly will get that vanishing creature, an advance! 
So keep your eyes peeled for the link and be ready.
There will be some awesome patron rewards;
dragon eggs of stone and shell!
8.5" by 11" glossies of the illustrations!
Bookmarks! 
Signed paperback editions! 
Dinner with the author! (this one was the publisher's idea...human contact) 
But none of these will manifest unless the project gets fully funded! 
So watch out. The Bookstart is coming.

Dragon Eggs and (more) Paperwork

10/14/2014

Comments

 
In Betty Adams news the unique rewards have been pretty much finalized for the BookStart campaign.

They include bookmarks with the dragons on them, a secret chapter, and an entire short story. Also dragon eggs of various sizes (emu or stone IRL but hey)

There is now a wiki up for Betty Adams, and a TV tropes page (can’t have too much web presence).

So things are clicking along!

Not to be repetitive but seriously, the world revolves on a base of paperwork.

First it was my contract; receive the contract, figure out how to sign it, download the appropriate programs, sign the thing, send it back.

Create and send out contracts for each of the artists who I commissioned because word of mouth agreements make publishers twitchy. Get them all back.

Get receipts for each above art transaction.

Make sure you have permissions for everything on the Bookstart video correct.

And the list goes on and on.

Fortunately right now I am sustained by the euphoria generated by the fact that I GOT A CONTRACT FINALLY!

So here is to the BookStart succeeding and my book getting published.

BRING ON THE PAPERWORK!
