Christmas is over and my mind is already prepping for 2023. I want to tackle the new year with a new approach, but navigating to it seems daunting. Much of 2022 I felt behind on everything and too tired to do anything about it. Sometimes I was too tired to care, but then that would follow with self-loathing. Can anyone relate?
What is the new approach? I haven't worked that out yet, but maybe it is impossible for adults to ever have everything neatly organized or planned.
I'm revealing the covers to Quinn and The Aerowyn Tales omnibus on January 1, 2023. I will also announce the winner of the complete set on that day. CarlasBooks Newsletter subscribers will be privy to all of this a day earlier--December 31, 2022. Subscribe today to be a part of the early reveal! https://www.subscribepage.com/CarlasBooksSignUp

What? Goodbye to CarlasBooks? Don't panic . . . Before you think I'm deleting my website, blogs, and social media accounts read this blog.
I'm not getting rid of all CarlasBooks related things. I'm only going to take most of my published books off sale. That means you won't be able to order the paperback books or download the ebooks. First, this won't happen until January 1, 2023, so there is still time to buy my books if you want. Second, I'm offering all my paperback and ebooks at discounted prices December 1 - 31, 2022. You can own them without breaking your bank account. Merry Christmas! Why am I doing this? I'm getting ready to rebrand all my books, which means new covers and updated content. The stories won't change to the point of not being recognized, but there may be tweaks and additions. Traditionally published books change covers all the time to keep up with trends and to attract new readers. To those who have already been fans of my books, you will have rare editions that may never be sold again. Since my books are independently published, I still have control over when and where my books are sold. What books will be unavailable after January 1, 2023? The Magical Things Collection The Travelers Duology The Web of Loki Why is The Aerowyn Tales not part of this list? The completed series has not been published. I want to give fans of the series a chance to collect all the books and read them before they disappear. I also hope to attract new readers of the series with an omnibus version, which will include every book in the series (prelude & interludes) plus a new cover. The classic covers will be available too, so your set won't be a wonky mismatch. In the future, I plan on rebranding The Aerowyn Tales too. There will no longer be prelude or interlude books. Bellarose will be added to Gerard. Bellarose II will be added to Jasper, and Bellarose III will be added to Quinn with brand new covers. Independent authors pay for EVERYTHING (edits, book formatting, covers, marketing, and giveaways), and it can be rather costly. Any of the anticipated rebrands for TAT are dream projects that I may not be able to accomplish. I'm working on ways to change my independent status to reach more readers, and to help me continue doing what I love. If these "ways" don't come to fruition, this goodbye may be more permanent, but I'm not ready for that yet. I'm keeping the dream alive with all my fingers and toes crossed. |
