MoonPhrazes June 2022

 

It feels like May was a do-nothing month. Between our struggle through covid and our later trip to KC, about half the month was taken up with illness or travel or recovering from those.

But there were days when I was in my office, working on a great new marketing scheme. (The same one I was working on in April.) Part of that is to re-format all of John's books and resubmit them to smashwords. I did that during May. Crossed it off my To Do list and everything.

But formatting is not as straight-forward as editing. You can format a manuscript beautifully, but when you send it through the conversion software, it can still get... lightly scrambled. Last night, I started checking through the converted files, and sure enough, there were still issues to be dealt with.

How frustrating. So, despite the work I did during May, I have added those same things back to my To Do list. It really does feel like I didn't get anything accomplished during May.

All I can do is pick myself up, dust myself off, and try to adopt the mind-set that June will be better. All my hard work will come to fruition. After all, the number of issues I need to address have gotten smaller, so not all of that was for nothing.

I'll tell you what, as soon as I get these more minor issues dealt with, I will have a big sale on John's first book, The Stone Builders. Watch for it. I'm hoping it happens sometime this month.

MoonPhrazes November 2022

It's November already! Where does the time go? Did you finish reading your free book, The Stone Ship , by John Lars Shoberg? Don't forget, you can get a free copy of the series starter, The Stone Builders by going to www.smashwords.com. Search either for the title or the author's name, and it should come up. If you like John Lars Shoberg's work, you could try another of his titles, De-Evolution . It looked like the perfect planet to colonize, so the generational ship landed. A year later, 2 children go missing, and are apparently being lead away by a Jabberwocky, a local animal the colonists don't know much about. When the search team finally tracks them down, they find the jabberwockies are the equivalent of late stone age humans, but they once had a thriving civilization. Something is messing with evolution on this planet, and the humans must find what it is and how to deal with it before they also regress to cavemen. You can find De-Evolution at https://M...
