So, what’s been
happening lately in Kristen Alexander ‘land’?
Lots!
The booksellers’
release sheet for Australian Eagles
is finished and will be at the printer’s shortly. I have the printer’s proof of
the book and have started reading through it in case any gremlins found their
way onto the pages. The first review copies have gone out and pre-orders for
the limited edition (July publication) are looking very good.
If that wasn’t enough
excitement, I have reached the half way point of Australia’s Few and have signed up with an agent. (I can’t tell you
have satisfying it is to my ego to know that I am on an agent’s ‘list’.) She
has put the hard word on me and I have until the end of the month to finish
another chapter and she will then start ‘selling’ the manuscript to publishers.
Fingers crossed. While all that is happening, I am committed to finishing the draft
by September. More hard work!
I spoke to my
website designer yesterday and development is going well. We are tentatively
looking at April for a launch. It is looking wonderful, even if I say so
myself.
Lots of other
things are bubbling along: chats with the architect, another booklist for
Alexander Fax Booksellers, Miss Millie’s latest antics and of course, the big
plans for next week’s half century festivities. I thought of starting the
pre-birthday diet this week but too many scones, not enough time.
Cataloguing all
these exciting things is way exhausting first thing in the morning. I think it
is time for a pot of Darjeeling (in fine Shelley china) and a nice lie down.
Oh, hang on. Proof pages to read! Have a great day in your ‘land’.
Good afternoon Kristen,
ReplyDeleteFantastic! That's great news!!!!! Don't worry about your ego, I do the same thing when my name appears in an article!!! When you say " limited edition ", what do you mean exactly ( how many books )? Do I have any chance to get a copy from the so - called " limited edition " ( with a word from you, of course )?!!!!!
The kitty seems to be at ease ( sometimes, the animals are very lucky )!
Well, I wish you all the best for the upcoming events.
Take care.
Cheers.
Hallo again Mehdi, apologies for taking so long to respond. You have had an idea of how busy I've been recently and your note came through the day before my birthday, so even busier. Australian Eagles is a limited edition of just 500 print copies. Once they are sold out, no more will be printed. The ebook will be around for three years, though. I will put you on my contact list and send through all the ordering details when it gets a bit closer to July. I think I still have your email (will send a note just to check). best wishes, Kristen
