Weekly Accountability Post, Part the 6th

[catherineldf]

2 weeks into new contracting gig and people are being pleasant to me and saying nice things about my work; I had forgotten what that was like. At any rate, I'm having to ramp up and learn some new stuff, which is a bit painful at the moment because I'm also planning a book release and have been way behind on the blog posts and interviews I committed to. Here's where we're at:

• I dusted the living room! I know it doesn't sound like much, but it was sorely needed.
• Print revisions for Blood Moon are done and print preorder is available!
• Talked to New Zealand artist Laya Rose about doing a cover for author Rem Wigmore's fab queer post-apocalyptic hopepunkish novel Foxhunt which Queen of Swords Press will be releasing this summer.
• Drafted 3 interviews and 3 blog posts for the Blood Moon blog tour, plus one extra for Cat Rambo's blog. I need to do another interview for a heavy metal blog next (the editor likes my work :-). I have NEVER thought so much about why I write what I wrote and how I do it.
• Finished tax organization and sent it off to our accountant..
• Took an SEO for authors class with Cat Rambo and began applying some of it (Cat is an excellent teacher).
• Had an interview posted at Horror Tree for Women in Horror Month.
• Commissioned some ads from author A.L. Lester, who does some nice graphics.
• Applied for several more events and got accepted for Outwrite DC and Flights of Foundry (as a vendor so far).
• Wrapped up most of the Pride Month StoryBundle organizing. Melissa Scott and I are co-curating and it's going be an awesome lineup.
• Watched more Black Sails, Space Sweepers (quite liked) and the first few episodes of Lupin (liked a lot!).
• I'll be teaching Book Promo on a Budget on 3/7.

Onward! Off to go read more of the book I need to blurb.

You and Melissa keep coming up with awesome lineups (and I don't just say that because she included me in one of hers). :)

Thank you! We do try to get a mix of authors and books so we’ll keep you on the radar for future ones. :-)

Oh, I love Laya Rose's art (and not only because she did some Alpennia character studies). She deserves to get more exposure.
