I haven’t done an update in a while so in order to clarify things in my own head, I thought I’d share my plans for the rest of 2017.
Update 14/10/2017 – The giveaway is now over and in total 1831 people entered. The Lost Sentinel is now on over 1000 tbr bookshelves and I have gained close to 30 new followers on Goodreads. All these figures are fantastic, it’s just a shame the person who won is a serial competition entrant who has clocked up a massive 59k book on their to read list. They appear to give those they do win away, so I hope my book will find its way into the hands of someone who wants to read it.
(There are just a few hours left to enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Lost Sentinel – over 1500 people have entered so far. Don’t miss your chance to win a copy before 8am GMT 12/10/17.)

I’m just a few scenes away from printing The Sentinel’s Reign (Silent Sea Chronicles #2) for what I hope will be a last proof read before I pass it to my beta readers. I love this stage where I find out what works and what doesn’t!
***
I’m really excited to be taking part in NaNoWriMo this year where I hope to draft out the major part of The Sentinel’s Alliance (Silent Sea Chronicles #3).
***
My hunt for book covers goes on, but I hope to have a cover reveals for book 2 and 3 soon.
***
I hope to contact some book reviewers by the end of the year regarding The Lost Sentinel and Visions of Zarua.
However, if you are a book blogger reading this and would like to receive a review copy please get in touch via the comments or my Contact Me form.

I have several other book ideas to work through including a time slip novel that appeared to me in the summer and is itching to be written.
It looks like I have a busy few months ahead of me.
How is the rest of the year looking for you and have you signed up for NaNoWriMo yet?

I am a book blogger interested in doing reviews! 😀 though I need to read book 1 before reading book 2… lol
I have added it to my WordPress TBR list and blogged about it here: https://kimsprocess.wordpress.com/2017/10/13/tbr-the-lost-sentinel/

It looks like you’ve been very busy on the writing front, Suzanne. I don’t think I’ll finish the 1st draft of my second book before the end of November. 😀

It has actually been a much quicker process that I expected, let’s hope book 3 goes as smoothly!
Hope your second book goes well. I’ve been following some of the reviews for book 1 and they’ve been great (no pressure!).

I guess you’ve established a regular routine that works well for your writing process. My life at the moment is still too haphazard for me to establish a fixed routine. It’s frustrating but I just have to live with it for the time being.
I’ve definitely been very surprised at the response my book has received, especially as I feel it’s only above average and that I’m capable of much better.
I think Rachel’s (The Perspicacious Bookworm) review is the closest to matching how I feel about The Exercise Of Vital Powers. And she sent me a great email that’s made me more determined to make the next book even better.

I liked Rachel’s review and was thinking of contacting her myself actually.
With regards to my writing routine, stopping blogging over the summer worked wonders for my time. I know the book must come first, but I also want to be involved in blogging and social media, it’s very hard to get the balance of time right.
