I'm looking for ARC reviewers for book 2!

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

Greetings Reader!
​
It's been a while and I hope the summer has been good to you! It's been a little crazy for me so apologize for my absence. But I have exciting news! Seconds to Oblivion: Keepers of the Univserse Book 2 is almost here! Just a couple more weeks of finishing layout, then I have to upload the book to Amazon, order an author proof copy to check the printing and then order other copies before finally going live.
​
Publishing a book is not just about the writing and editing, there's so many little steps that take time before it finally gets out there. Marketing is also a huge part of an author's daily tasks and while it's necessary, it does take me away from the thing I love the most which is writing. I do love making book trailers like the one below. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Also! Would you like an advanced copy of Seconds to Oblivion? I'm currently building my ARC team. Fill out this form if you are interested in being on my team and I'll send a copy of the ebook your way for review.

Shiny new question!

Many of my author friends are switching the genres they write. This is due to shifts in the market and what readers are going for. And when I say, switching genres, I mean, dramatically. I know a thriller writer who is now writing sports romances. An urban fantasy author who is also writing romance. Even my friend Herman, pictured below, who was writing space opera has now shifted to gaslamp fantasy.

So this got me wondering ...

If you follow an author and love what they write, how likely are you to read something they wrote in a completely different genre?

Angela's Book of the Month

Meet my friend Herman Steuernagel. A B&N Top 100 Best Seller, Herman is known for his character-driven adventures and world-building. He has written many exciting books, but The Bartender Between Worlds is something really special. It even earned a "Kickstarter Project We Love" badge. Check out this book along with his podcast, The Greatest Podcast in the Multiverse.

If you enjoyed the themes of leaving it all behind in books like Legends & Lattes, and the fun and low-stakes magic in The Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking, then this is the book for you.

Greetings Reader! How is it October??? Fall is my favorite time of year so it's fitting that it would be the time I would publish book 2 in my Keepers of the Universe Series. It's been a long road with this one and it was truly a labor of love. There had been mishaps with editing, mishaps with layout and formatting, crying in the shower and moments where I wondered if I'm really cut out for this. When I finally saw my book in paperback and published on Amazon ... It's worth it. So check it...
