A few days ago I produced a list of possible titles for an upcoming cozy mystery I’m working on and asked for your opinion. Oddly, almost all of the titles were picked. Those who made suggestions, all liked a different title. There was no favorite! So I’m back to square one with which title to use.
What’s happening here in Patricia Fry’s writing room and the offices of Matilija Press? Good news, the blog tour caused nice spikes in sales for the Klepto Cat Mystery series—both in the Kindle and print versions. And I had fun meeting so many new readers at the blog stops. Two winners of free Kindle books are now happily reading Mansion of Meows.
We had a photo shoot here yesterday to produce new publicity photos for the series. Since the books feature a cat, I like to include one in my book cover and promotional photos and we have just one cat who is cooperative enough to do a photo shoot with. Lily was wonderful. We got some great shots. For those of you who don’t know cats, this is saying a lot–cooperation is not usually a word you would use to describe a cat.
Book 10 is with the proofreader and book 11 is being fleshed out as we speak. I have the story in my head. I have a meaty outline. I’m now starting to add the details of the story so that I can start the editing and research process. Gotta do the research to make sure the details of your story are realistic.
Every once in a while I take inventory. I ask, “Are we still having fun?” And every time I say a resounding, “YES.” Writing is still my passion and I am enjoying every moment of this new game I’ve entered called fiction-writing.
