NaNoWriMo Plans

-

 




This is the working cover for the book I am writing at the moment. It is also the book that I'll be working on for NaNoWriMo which is National Novel Writing Month. During November, I'll be finishing the rough draft for the story with a special meaning behind it.

Backstory.....My granddaughter has a special ability. She can light up any room, make you feel good, and has the biggest heart of anyone I know. And I know a lot of people. She's been through a lot so I decided to turn her into a character and write a story with her being the MC. Now meet Maria, a little cutie in her own right. She has a pacemaker, she's 10, and she just accidentally met Nemoy, a garden gnome who wasn't supposed to be seen by humans. It wasn't his fault, Maria made him sneeze...

More about the story later lol. As I mentioned, I am participating in the NaNoWriMo this year which begins on November 1, 2020. I'm already 48K into the story which means I'm reaching the end of the story and that's okay because I have plans lol. I'm going to continue to write the novel until it is finished. During my writing, I noticed there are holes in the story that need more details here and there so I will go back and work on those areas, improving the already great story. I've had a few "awww" moments in the story that have to stay lol. Once that is done, I'll put the story aside and begin writing Peterson Estate 6: The Great Dark Witch. 

Once NaNo is finished on December 1, I'll go back to Fairytale's Truth and officially begin editing to get back on track. I'm actually ahead of schedule so everything is good. When I am happy with the edits, I'll send it out to Beta readers to look over and then back to editing. While they are reading the story, I'll go back to Peterson Estate and write that so it can get ahead of schedule lol. 

I'm planning on releasing Fairytale's Truth on Feb 27, 2021. And Peterson Estate will be released sometime during the summer of 2021. After that book is written, I'll write Murder Through Time which is going to be an exciting story for me because I came up with that story back in 2001 so it's due. I have a long list of books waiting to be written lol. And the list grows constantly. So that's my plans for November and beyond. For now anyway!

New Changes, Updated Website

  Link to Website I have many new changes to report. I have fully updated my website. The link is above. This is a screenshot of the top of the homepage. The top section will be changed when I am closer to releasing each new book when I have pre-orders available. So that's pretty cool. I have added a few new things to the site. I decided to check out other authors' pages and was inspired by one of my favorite authors, Stephen King. Of course, I don't have nearly as many books as he does so my pages are different but the ideas for design and some of the information were inspired by what was on his site. For instance, I now have FAQ information on my site. I will be adding to it as time permits. It can be found on the "about" page. His page was separate and the cool feature that he had on his page (dropdown) answers to the questions couldn't be repeated on my page. Still trying to figure that part out lol. I liked the area where he had a mini-menu for some of th...

The next book, coming this fall

Benjamin was abused most of his life. Upon his mother's death bed, she tells him a secret that sends him on a no-return journey--he was adopted. He hires a PI, only to find out that his biological mother has also passed away but the PI learns she had another son. Benjamin leaves his small town to head to New York to meet his brother for the first time. When he sees his twin brother, Benjamin snaps. He becomes something else--a killer. Will Benjamin be his own destruction? Will his brother's ghost be the hand that pushes him over the edge? This is a Paranormal Thriller. If you read Stolen Identity under my original pen name (Amber Rigby Grosjean) then you already know the story. This one is slightly different and without the naughty scenes which means anyone is able to read it. This will be the first book in the series Identity Collection. Reader beware: there are some intense scenes (murder).

  Hello, everyone. I have a treat for you today. I interviewed an awesome author. Her name is C. Phillip. I've had her and her books in my newsletters so I had to come up with some new questions to ask her lol. So here they are. I hope you enjoy her answers and give her books a try! They are awesome! Please tell me about your books. I noticed you have 2 more on your website. Please tell us what they are all about. The Last Nautch Girl is my self-published debut novel. It's Book 1 in my historical fiction and murder mystery series, set in different cities of colonial India, featuring Indian classical dancers, British investigators, vigilante justice, serial killers, diabolic villains & much more. It follows the story of Mrinalini, a native ex-dancer in Kolkatta, who is secretly providing shelter in her home to five young men accused of the murder of Major Harold Armitage. Fiercely patriotic and hot-blooded, the men regard Mrinalini as “Didi” and trust in her completely while...
