Short and sweet PLUS a hacked account report
The Keeper's Six ebook sale & a Jaran audiobook preorder
SALE!
This week THE KEEPER’S SIX ebook is on sale at Amazon/Kindle for $2.99. If you haven’t read it yet, now is the time to grab it for future e-reading. Or tell your friends, family, enemies, and random strangers to grab it. It’s suhc a great deal if you don’t have the ebook yet. Plus I love seeing one of my books climb up the Amazon sales numbers: very invigorating!
Also, the audiobook of JARAN is up for preorder (special offer) from Tantor Audio. Production on this is moving fast, and the other three books are coming this year also! Voice actor for this is Cindy Kay.
Also, Zehra Naqvi is the voice actor for SPIRIT GATE and she starts recording this week. I’m a bit boggled by how quickly Tantor Audio is moving on these.
CROWN OF STARS (book 7) is already recorded and will be released in September (Shiromi Arserio, voice actor).
I was going to write a few words to go with these two announcements but I am basically in full sprint while juggling 18 balls in the air all at once, so this is what you get this month: Revisions on the as-yet-unannounced project continue; I continue work on an extended outline for Lady Chaos because I wrote 60,000 words and realized that for this book I have to really drill down to what must be in the story in order to keep it at a physically publishable length; some other projects and of course a multitasking stream of administrative and related tasks, not including things I’d like to be doing like finally updating my web page and blog to maybe start using them again in this new day of collapsing and fragmenting social media but that isn’t urgent so it will have to wait. Also paddling, but more about that another time.
Speaking of social media, I deleted my old Facebook account in 2019, but evidently FB did not in fact delete it and a few weeks ago an unknown individual hacked it and has started posting photos there without deleting my identifying info. The old account’s avatar is a photo of me in an orange top. There are photos from random places being posted — I am sure they are stock photos — starting from about 10-12 days ago. My old photos (from 2019 and earlier) remain on the account as well as my biographical info, but it is not me posting. I have reported and reached out to FB but heard nothing, and I’m not convinced they are going to do anything anyway. Because of the hack, I felt obliged to open a new FB account.
IF you are on FB, please (if you’re willing) report and unfriend this “Kate Elliott” account (the hacked one): https://www.facebook.com/kate.elliott.904
If you want to friend my new account (avatar of Finn), it’s here (but I don’t expect to be very active on FB): https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093566835895
Here’s the photo of Finn I am currently using as my FB avator, because who would not want to enjoy this majestic goofball?
As always, I could not do this without you. Thank you.
