Progress report

I've punched through the 40,000-word mark on the third Wheel of Fire book.  I'm still only on page 5 of the outline, though.  I'm starting to wonder just how long this book's going to be.  Oh, well... I doubt the readers will complain about getting a little more for their money.  I intend to price it at $3.99, just like the others.

I ran a couple of promotions this weekend on Kobo.  One was to put Clouds of Venus on their "free" page.  The other was a 40% off deal for VIP members for Mind Games.  I gained one free download of CoV and one sale of MG.  So Kobo remains a sort of dead zone for me.  :(  I really wish I knew how to get traction there.  Maybe some day I'll figure it out.

Today was a warm day, and the flower buds on the dogwoods have already cracked open.  Spring will be here soon.  That makes me happy.  :D  Perhaps my feet can finally thaw out after being frozen all winter.

I've got taxes to deal with soon, so I'll be a little distracted, but I'm hoping to finish the first draft of this book before April 15.  That's my new sort-of-a-deadline.  Wish me luck.


UPDATE: Okay, the promo I ran on Kobo for Clouds of Venus actually resulted in 123 free downloads.  Apparently those stats only update once a week or so.  The stats for paid sales, on the other hand, update daily, or maybe even in something approaching real time.
