The Series is doing well!

Jun 30, 2020 by Colette Alaine
It looks like some of my readers of "Leveling Lawyers," the third novel in the series are bringing in lots of new readers of the series because I'm noticing that sales of "Legal Lessons," the first novel in the series are taking off! I love it! I'm working hard on the fourth novel, "Losing Leverage" and my plan right now is to have it published either before or after Thanksgiving. Of course, I'm dependent upon how my writing and editing go, and then the timing of my outside editor and her remarks. I am definitely hoping to have it ready for the Christmas shopping season. Four of them will be a nice gift for your favorite readers. The fifth novel will be published sometime in 2021. The ideas are flowing but that's another topic for another day!

Summer is really hot so far. We're also getting our fair share of thunderstorms. My goal is to write most of this week. I don't have many outside the house duties and I love to write without interruption. The flow is so much better. I can always pick up where I left off but I often need to read a bit of the previous chapters if it's more than a few days since I last wrote. It will all flow very well after I edit but the better the flow from the beginning, the smoother the edit.

As those of you who check in to my website for my updates know, I am collecting email addresses. When I have a decent amount of time, I want to give you insight on my books in a newsletter; perhaps a paragraph on each one that either relates to me or as to why I wrote what I did. I don't want my newsletter to be another push for sales. I do that mostly with social media and on this website, although I also use the website to provide a progress report on how I'm doing as a writer, author, marketer, salesgirl, etc. In my newsletter, I want it to disclose fun facts about my characters and maybe even some interesting facts about me! So please, sign up for the newsletter. It will be later this year before I compose it and send it out. My main focus is on finishing "Losing Leverage" for release during the holiday season!

Take Care and Cheers!
