It's All Coming Together!

So yes, it's been ages since there was a blog post, but that's for many reasons. One, this blog will soon be moving and I'm busy designing and working and figuring out GoDaddy and Wordpress. It's coming soon! See the countdown here: www.dmpederson.com Two, there is so much more work to get my book out in print than I expected! There's the ISBN, barcode, legal deposit, CIP and a ton more stuff. Plus I am very very busy getting auditions set up for the book trailer. (See the audition ad here) Three, getting all the social stuff done and put together! Doesn't the header above look amazing? Super big thanks to Deranged Doctor Design for all their amazing work. Should be tackling more reviews and fun videos and blog stuff soon! Stick around and I'll make sure to let all of you, my amazing readers, know the second Lasera is available for pre-order :D

Cheers!

My Book Is Going to be Published! -- With Kickstarter's Help

I am ecstatic to announce that my book will be published! This is the big reason why I haven't been blogging, that I alluded to in my previous post. I am publishing it myself in February 2015. I've been putting in so many hours researching editors and cover designers and the best way to publish that blogging had to be pushed back. But no more! Why? I've launched a Kickstarter for the book! After more than 60 hours of work on a video (not to mention days and days worth of prep) the project is now live on Kickstarter! See Lasera - Book 1: The Mer Archives.

Kickstarter is an all or nothing funding campaign which means I desperately need your help! If I don't reach my goal in the next 29 days, I won't get any of the funds raised. So go and click the big green button on the above page and pledge now to get some great rewards. So far the campaign has been amazing :D The project was chosen as a Kickstarter Staff Pick barely an hour after launch and it has already been shared on facebook more than 90 times. Keep checking back here as I update and share all that is going on.

This kickstarter is not only a great way to pre-order the book now and get some awesome extras too, but it also helps get the book into print. I love the creative journey and can't wait to go through this whole adventure with all of you! Please share, tweet or just chat up the book anywhere you are. The water-cooler, the dog-park, the play group, the library, or even the end of rainbow. This is a -clean- young adult urban fantasy that I can't wait to share with the world and now it's finally on it's way to being done.

Thank you so much for all your support!

COUNTDOWN: 29 DAYS LEFT TO GET LASERA INTO PRINT

Lack of Posts = A Great Surprise!

I'm loving that I'm still getting amazing book review requests and I've already delved into so many of them (despite my very conspicuous lack of posts). Here's the thing. There's a reason why there hasn't been a lot of things from me or reviews in the last while. I'll be sharing some specific details in a post on Monday, but not the main one.

Some HUGE is coming! And it's the main reason. (If you didn't guess) I can't wait to tell all you lovely readers about it. Keep your eyes glued here and check back, I'm so excited for this you have no idea. I'm staying up way too late all the time working on it and am very zombie like with my kids and hubby the next day. :P The surprise is coming! :D

Cheers!
