To Like A-Man: Next to Paperback Release

 Now that The Fourth Zaldizko is out of the way, my focus for story completion is To Like A-Man.  A boys love (BL) story set in an ICT corporate environment.  The relationship focus is a love triangle, which threatens to impact an organization's surety.  

I had originally intended for the story to be a light-hearted BL comedy, but when I began adding in the want/need elements for Adam a gritty development began to take shape.

I'll be working on a new TapRead cover to support the dramatic undertone of the story. 

The ebook episodes and all other online versions have been removed.  TapRead will be the exclusive online publishing platform whilst the story is in progress.

New content will follow once I complete copy and proof check edits of the existing content. This is to make life easier for me when I take the story to paperback and also ensure stronger alignment to its three-act outline.

Update to Publishing Strategy

 Continuing from my The Fourth Zaldizko publishing antics. I'm still working through the paperback manuscript.  Whilst that is being prepared, I've unlisted the episode ebooks from Kobo and other sources that isn't Google Play.  They weren't generating sales interest, so decided to pull the plug on them. 

The digital media landscape is constantly changing at a fast pace. So I'm having to try to keep up with the tide of changes and ways on how I can achieve sales interest. 

This is my publishing strategy as of today. 

Paperbacks: 60k+ word stories will be made into paperbacks of the cheapest price.  Amazon will continue to be the printer for these.

Small Ebooks:  20k - 60k will be made into ebooks to Google Play only. 

Large Ebooks: 60K+ word stories also be ebooks via Draft2Digital and Googleplay.

I'll exclusively continue to publish through Amazon, Google Play and Draft2Digital from now on. As long as they keep their services the way they are.

The Fourth Zaldizko Paperback

 

This is the upcoming paperback cover for the second book of the Seriphyn Knight Chronicles saga. After this book, I'm going to be taking a break from writing online and continue Everything Comes to Null offline. 

Writing online is making me not like my works. That's the last thing I want. But I don't want to quit my story. It'll hurt my heart. So I'll write offline and hope that when I publish my story someone will be around to read it.

My quest for readers for this story is not an easy one.  I have been lucky with some support from TapRead and Webnovel for a short while. It felt good to feel this story has some validation for a period. It's just, I don't think this story is going to get more than it has already received.  The truth of the matter. 

I'd rather write the story offline and hold what value I have for it there. Rather than post online in increments and grow to hate it.
