Kobo PreOrder for COLD STONE & IVY

I must admit it took my breath away, just a little, to see the preorder status for COLD STONE & IVY on Kobo's main site. If you've been on this journey with me for any length of time, you know it's been a long and winding road. Conceived during a cold NANOWRIMO November, finished less than a year later, editing with consummate pro Erica Orloff, signing with Literary Agent X, spending 2 1/2 years treading water with Literary Agent X and ultimately firing Literary Agent X before finally signing a contract with Tyche Books in March 2015. Yes, it's been a long and winding road but wow, the things I've seen along the way.

Now, as we buckle down into the final stretch, I'm enjoying the partnership that's coming into play. Me - an experienced and savvy indie author with tips and tricks up my sleeve. Them - a bold young boutique press who knows what they want and who brings fresh energy into the planning. The preorder for Amazon will come later but Kobo gets an advance for a strategic reason (which is all 'blah blah' to the average reader.) Trust me when I say it's rather clever. I take my 'blah blah's very seriously.

On my end, I'm working out details for the book launch, which will involve a reading, music, apps and absinthe at a local steampunk gastropub. For Tyche, they're working on getting the books ready for the colossal Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo April 28 - May 1. Soon, this huge adventure novel will be where it belongs - on the bookshelves and in the hands of readers.

So, if you're a lucky Kobo user, here's your link to the front line - the preorder of COLD STONE & IVY! (Tea is grand, but a good port or scotch is the recommended 'spirit' for such bracing fare...)

Kobo Preorder Here.

Congratulations! I have an uncompleted YA fantasy tale born of a past NaNoWriMo that I'm dying to finish. Just have to find the time...

Glad to see you enjoy the fruits of your labor. Best wishes for a successful launch!
