Summer is rapidly descending upon us and it seemed like
a perfect opportunity to clean up the old offerings and relaunch them as second
editions.
The second edition of Justified is a tighter
story and I fixed a couple of errors that no one else noticed but nagged at me.
Because
She Was a Woman is losing its weakest story and gaining at
least one new one – which I suspect will be a trimmed version of Magic
Stilettos.
Scent
of Honeysuckle probably requires no tweaking, but as I am in
edit mode I probably will give it a glance and decide whether to revise it.
One
Night with B.B. has
done very well and introduced many to my writings. I may revise it slightly (if
nothing else to update the back matter).
Some titles will disappear as stand-alones and will now
be part of anthologies only (such as Putting May to Rest/El Velorio de Maya).
Kali:
The Food Goddess cookbook series will become one volume and
it will include new entries from the new Food
Goddess blog. Individual volumes will be discontinued.
A
Quiet Stroll may make it into the BSWAW anthology of short
stories as the baker’s dozen and it may also be produced as an audio book (a
test). The stand-alone version will remain a freebie.
Any e-books that go into a second edition will also be
released as a second edition as paperbacks (for continuity).
Why relaunch? To keep things fresh. The basic premise of
each book and story will remain the same, but as I hone my craft, I can revise
and make the writing tighter. This also serves to recognize some of the stories
that need not become part of a back-catalogue. A relaunch makes your final
product better because it seeks to offer excellence to your readers.
This is a good thing.
Stay tuned for more news about our relaunch! There will
be an opportunity to obtain free and review copies for those who’d like to
upgrade your previously purchased versions of my work.
