I’ve been absent for some time because I’ve been working on a new strategy for publicising my work. I’m tired of the rat race that is social media and being told to feed the algorithms. So I’ve decided to return to some methods of publishing that have been around for years. Lots of years. And that is *drum roll* the art of serialisation.
I’m not alone in this venture, many authors of today are following this route but also some old masters like Dickens and Dumas. So. I’m in good company.
I started serialising the first of twelve books in the The Luna Legends series. The series is split into four Seasons and each season contains three parts. The prequel to the series, The Season of the New Moons is available for purchase through the more regular routes.
And I’ve enjoyed every little part of it. It’s been one of the most satisfying publication I’ve done and more to the point… I’ve been connecting with readers.
The publication of Part II of Season One, Barley Moon, will begin with the first episode on Friday 7th January 2022. This and future books from the series over next year will be available via a paid subscription and will include other free content not available to anyone else. The cost barely covers the cost of a cup of coffee… a month.
And I’ll be writing up the experience as an article for one of the revered writing magazines, so watch this space.
