Hello, wonderful readers!
I know it's been a little while, but I have some news to share, both on my writing progress and, perhaps most importantly, about the future of the book that started it all, my debut novel!
First off, I'm thrilled to report that I've successfully finished two more manuscripts! Getting to write "The End" on a project is always a huge accomplishment, and these next stories are already demanding my attention for revisions. I can't wait until I can share more details about what these new tales involve and start the journey of getting them ready for you.
Publishing my first book this year was a dream come true, and the experience has been the most invaluable education of my life. I've learned so much about the publishing process, reader expectations, effective storytelling, and even my own personal writing style.
As I've worked on these newer projects, I've had the chance to look back at my debut novel with fresh, experienced eyes. And honestly? I see places where I can make it even better.
That's why I've made the difficult but exciting decision to make some minor, yet impactful changes to my first published book and republish the 2nd edition next year!
I know a lot might be wondering, why the change?
As a writer, you never stop learning. These changes are about strengthening the story and my writing, ensuring the story is the best it can possibly be for you, the reader.
These won't be massive plot overhauls, but rather the kind of refinements that truly elevate the reading experience:
Minor Edits: Tightening up the prose, smoothing out dialogue, and ensuring the pacing is perfect.
BUT! This republishing journey isn't just about tweaking the text; it's about a complete reintroduction!
New Cover Designs: After finishing the second book in my main series, I had a creative epiphany moment regarding the covers. I'm working hard and expanding my knowledge base to create a new cover that truly captures the story's essence and genre. It will also tie into the second book cover design, pulling the series together much nicer. I can't wait to unveil it!
This is a monumental step for me and took so much thought and consideration to make. I appreciate your patience and support as I take the time to ensure the definitive edition of my debut novel is everything it can be.
Thank you for being on this wild, amazing journey with me. Stay tuned for cover reveals, more details on the new books, and a definitive timeline for the re-launch!
Love,
AJ Eddy
