Spooky Updates, Changes, and Improvements

As the Spooky Chronicles begins its second year, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about improving the website.

First, a request: if you’ve read a Spooky Chronicles book and enjoyed it, please go to the bookstore (or stores) where you bought them (like Amazon) or any literary website (like Goodreads) and leave a rating, review, or recommendation. It helps others find out about Spooky! Now, on with the update.

Now that I have four books up in the series, each book will have its own page, with cover, trailers, synopsis, links, and excerpt, and everything. The purchase page will remain but mostly as a link to book stores where you can purchase any or all the books in one place. Hopefully, this will make it easier to explore Spooky’s world and adventures.

I’m also prepping for some new trailers for all four books, each with a distinctive theme for the book in question but that will all be distinctively Spooky.

Finally, under “Books,” the current book will now show “in progress” and include a meter showing where I’m at on finishing a particular volume. I’m thinking on five steps: outline, research, writing, editing, and proofreading. The writing is the longest step, but all five are important to my process. With luck, I’ll have Greene Square Middle done by Ancient City Con in late July, but we’ll see.

One Year of Spooky (and a sale!)

It was one year ago today I launched The Spooky Chronicles with the The Crooked Man. I have released three more books since then, making it a real series. The next book, Greene Square Middle, has been the most difficult book I’ve had to write thus far but is coming together nicely.

To celebrate, I’m going to have a bit of a Memorial Day sale through Monday: through Smashwords, all three main books will be just 99 cents each while “book zero” will continue to be free (but maybe not for much longer). Be sure to use the correct coupon code (not case sensitive) on checkout to get your discount! Tell your friends!
