Hello to all,
Another week of editing brings my next book closer to publication. I am in the middle of my fifth reading of my 45,000-word book. Grammarly takes care of the punctuation problems, allowing me to concentrate on the flow and plot of the story. Grammarly also regularly inserts and removes commas in sentences. A few times, it inserts a comma one moment, only to remove it on the following review. For this reason, I do not feel bad for not understanding comma placement.
My current working title for the new book is The Antidimension. The devil sends old and new creatures with more capabilities and powers to defeat our courageous trio of heroes. Additionally, Dad, the leader, brings more flyers into the fighting fold to defeat the demons and monsters sent to destroy our world. God strengthens them to meet any evil hell-bent on making all people submissive to the devil’s domain. Instead of trying to convert the champions to himself, the devil sets out to kill them.
I ran a Goodreads giveaway this month, and 717 people registered for a free copy of Death to the Devil’s Dragon. Thank you to everyone signing up, and congratulations to the 100 contest winners. I am hoping to receive ten reviews of the books given away.
Over the past six months, about a dozen authors have befriended me through FB messages. Each of them contacting me through messenger tried to sell me on their great marketing program. Either they claim themselves or have a friend who is the best digital marketer in the world. They show little concern for any part of being an author except where they may profit from it. I am convinced these are scammers spoofing an actual author’s page to bilk hard-earned money out of the author’s hands. I ended up blocking anyone offering me marketing schemes through Messenger. I average about two dozen scammers per week blocked on FaceBook.
Hundreds more scammers like and comment on my post without actually reading the post. I am convinced if I post a picture of dog poo, there will be several comments about what a great author I am or how they could turn it into a book trailer. I allow comments because I receive notices from FB that comments help increase the logarithm so that others can see my post.
