The Launch Struggle
Well I have waited for the books to arrive only to discover that I have to wait until May 11th for the live launch at Ellen Plumb’s. It will happen at 4:30 P.M. on Saturday May 11th.
I will read and sign books and give away swag including, character bookmarks, a three chapter mini book of Hero’s Journey and CrossWing zipper pulls, so bring your tween, teen to Ellen Plumb’s City Bookstore.
I will also have hard copies of the. Parent, Teacher, guide available and a challenge for spoken word teen poets.
Those who do not live in the area will have an opportunity to get the signed book and swag on-line. Watch my Facebook author page for details. Facebook/D.A. Irsik/Author
Coming Soon
I received a proof today and went through it! I have ordered books and will have them soon. The launch date will be set as soon as they arrive and I will post it here and on Facebook.
Hero’s Journey is ready for formatting and I am working with Villa Design on a cover. All is well!
God’s Timing
My launch will be rescheduled when the corrections and formatting are worked out! I will bow to God’s Timing.
In the meantime, I will be working with book II, Hero’s Journey. I need inspiration for cover ideas!
God’s timing
I sit here chewing my lip and thinking about all I have to do before my launch, which is supposed to be on the 9th of March. The ARC book had some formatting issues and my formatting person has been sick. Not good.
I am trying to be patient. My character, Sela has trouble with this particular trait as well. I could possibly learn from her that I have to let go and let God. His timing is not always my timing.
If indeed I am not able to get the formatting done today and make the corrections that I have to make for the hardcopy and e-pub, I will have to change the launch date. It is not the end of the world and I can publish later in the month. I will listen and learn and let you know soon!
Book Swag
Book Trailer
I just added the book trailer. Let me know what you think. It is simple and short! Go to the Books tab!
Upload
I am so very close to receiving my ARC copies. I am looking forward to soon be able to offer my book, HEROES by DESIGN, for sale. The launch date is March 9TH, 4:30 P.M. at Ellen Plumbs City Bookstore in Emporia, Kansas. I am excited and terrified.
I am also getting ready to have a pre-sale through my Samcart. It will be a special deal for those who want a signed copy and swag. I am creating some magnetic character bookmarks, cool inspirational zipper pulls and a sample three-chapter sneak peek of HERO’S JOURNEY, book II of the Hero series. Also, the first five buyers will be put in a drawing for a Kindle Fire. As soon as I have these super fun items in hand I will post a picture.
Stay tuned for more exciting news.
