Finally, the fourth book in Broadsides has been released! Breath & Name has hit the digital shelves on Amazon, with discounts on the rest of the series.
Yes, this release was delayed. Originally it was supposed to have come out shortly after the US election, which I thought was possible only because I expected to have the bulk of the work done before then so I wouldn’t be worrying about it then.
Turns out a worldwide plague really screws up your scheduling. And everything else.
But! Breath & Name represents the fifth book I’ve released this year (six if I include V&V’s ‘re-release’ to coincide with my actual understanding of process). This time last year, I knew that indie publishing was possible, but I was only just embarking on how to go about it.
August a year ago, I was only just barely beginning to grok that it was possible at all.
Six solid book releases later — I say solid, because I’m sure we all have That One Book we don’t talk about — life is still hard and I’m still going to have to find another way to make ends meet for a while.
But: I do know this is what I want to continue doing in my life, and I want it to be fun. So I’m relaxing my standards a bit, in as far as scheduling and whatnot go. The next releases might be short stories, will probably be in other series, and I’m probably going to wind up going between series for the foreseeable future.
That’s part of what makes it fun.
