I have been having a tough time getting a completed 1st draft of “The Door” finished by the end of this month as I originally planned. The story is coming along very nicely, however I had hoped to release it by late September/ mid-October, which is becoming less and less likely.
Furthermore, I had already planned on releasing “The Vampyre Blogs – Coming Home” in December to catch the holiday crowds.
So I would like to know how you would feel about a “Double-Release” in December?
I have been hearing from a number of people who have been clamoring for one or both books, and I’m perfectly at ease with the idea of releasing both at or around the same time.
Furthermore, I want to let you all know that I’ve already got at least one other book lined up for the middle of next year, so you won’t have to wait long for another installment.
Please leave your thoughts on this idea in the comment section below. Your opinions are important to me, so please take advantage of this opportunity to express your feelings and wishes.
Thank you.
P. S. The next entry will go back to talking about my collaborators and how I chose them. Until then, keep writing.
You asked for thoughts about your idea, Allan. Here are mine:
Generally I would say: Great!! I definitely am one of the people you mentioned who is desperately waiting for both books.
But at this moment I would like to ask you if you really like to do that. I’m thinking of each book had taken time, efforts, nerves… you know what I’m talking about. Doesn’t each book deserve its own release date?
I don’t want to talk you out of it. I just wanted to give something to think. 🙂

Good food for thought, thank you Aurora. I will be turning this over in my head a lot.

I see no problem with that – unless it becomes too stressful for you and you find it hard to give each launch the attention it deserves.

Thanks Yvonne, if I go this way, I’m going give both books the buildup and launch they deserve.

With any new release I find the stress and anxiety as high as if it were the 1st book. If that’s not overwhelming and you have launch steps under control- I say go for it. Releasing more than one book at a time can boost sales & visibility. Some authors do very well in doing this with 2 or more books. Follow your gut & whatever you choose to do, I wish you much success with it! 🙂

Thanks Amber, I’m glad to get this advice. I know in the past a lot of people would frown on things like this, but the times have been changing with the advent of e-publishing and Indie Authors. Good food for thought. Thanks again.
