Dilly-Dally Delay

11/14/2020

Okay, so it’s not so much about dilly-dallying, since I’m not really a procrastinator, but 2020 has presented many other challenges in the “D” grade. This includes Disruptions, Delays, Difficulties, and Derailments.

Unfortunately, I’ll not meet a few of my creative-writing deadlines this year. I’m truly sorry to those waiting for the next novel or sequel—and I thank you for your patience. I am so grateful for my readers and strive to do the very best for you with each project.

Since we’re all dealing with our own set of unique circumstances during this pandemic, I won’t burden you with the details of mine. But I will share that of the three books I was working on, two derailed. They’ve turned into something other than what I set out to do. I scrapped these manuscripts after having reached the halfway point and started again from the beginning. Right about the time I made this tough decision, I saw a relevant meme floating around social media:

With a sigh of relief, I can now laugh at myself and move along. I think these books needed to take on a different perspective and I’m treading, faithfully and prayerfully, towards completion. Unless more unforeseen demands (hey, another D-grade!) are looming, we can expect the launch of these titles in 2021. I’m just going to be an early bird on this one thing and say it now: Happy New Year!
May 2021 be your best year ever. 💝✌️

Vivlio

Sounds like a bubbly beverage, but it’s the new effervescent French eBook sales channel which took over Tolino, the Belgium-based eBook distributor. This service largely expands distribution for authors in the Dutch, French, Belgian, and Swiss markets.

I switched distribution management a few years back—a favorable move I am grateful for which added sales channels. Don’t get me wrong: I love Amazon, but it’s not only about Amazon. I’m able to reach more readers through other sources and applications now. Here is a short list of additional vendors where my books can be found: Apple, Nook, Kobo, Scribd, 24 Symbols, Playster, !ndigo, Angus & Robertson, Mondadori, READIO, 2TigersLLC, and Google Play. Now that I’ve opted into Vivlio (Tolino), I have yet another avenue for a better reach.

And as a gentle reminder, my books are each still cheaper than a single fancy-pants coffee at a café that rhymes with Barstucks.

Bottoms up!
