The agent that is representing my angel series met with me and my hubby yesterday. We are visiting with my brother in TN and the agent happens to live with in traveling distance.
It was exciting to see all the things that are happening and the huge players that are, and potentially are, involved. When your books are just one part of a large undertaking (i. e. the movie and all that comes with it), it's amazing how much work is done in the development phase and how many well-known players get involved and the other well-known players who are at least being made aware of the project at this phase.
When announcements (press releases) are made, it will be by these big entities. I won't have to do a thing. In other words, my marketing efforts are very much grass roots compared to what could be happening in the next six months. 2013 could be a banner year for me.
It's hard to know things, and not be able to share.
So what can I do?
I'll keep writing. Angel in the Fire, Book 4 will be completed in January and I'll work on finishing on Angel in the Light, Book 5 (the end of this story arc) by March. Then I'll switch gears and finish the second in my history mystery line.
The second half of the year will depend on what happens in the first six months before I decide which project I work on next.
It seems from what I'm experiencing, that publishers are very much open to new ways of working with authors and book contracts. I think a paradigm shift is happening in the way they look at the business and this new shift has room for new arrangements with self-publishers.
