Anticipation...

Oh, those days... weeks... months between signing a book contract and holding that finished "baby" in your hands.... I'm told it takes between 4-12 months, depending on the size of the publisher, the size of the backlog, and the priority of the work.
So, how to spend that time profitably? By connecting with current and potential audiences. This process is known as "building the author platform," and it's yet one more thing that the writer has to squeeze into his day. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea. I would seriously love to converse with readers, share tips, and generally be accessible. It all takes time, though, and my blogging history is a bit thin already. :)

But I'll do my best. You can look forward to an interview with fellow Cogwheel author Scathe Meic Beorh about his new release The Place Where Infinity Blooms. Those of you who are fans of Christian speculative fiction will want to check this one out.

I've also booked a guest appearance on Castles & Guns, a blog focused on urban fantasy news and book reviews. This should be fun, and I can't wait. 

In the meantime, I'd love to hear from you! What else should I be doing? Peace.
