Bookcast Episode 50: Words Complete! Now what?

Today I'm sharing more behind-the-scenes details on the thrilling *smirk* ride of taking characters from idea to bookshelf.  Elysium is complete... so now what?  I'll give you an inside look at the trials and triumphs of the writing process.  From the adrenaline rush of typing 'The End' to the careful process of self-editing, publishing a novel is no small feat. I explore how I navigated this labyrinth for Elysium. We'll also discuss the tools of the trade that I use to polish my work. I'll share my progress on the Goodreads challenge and spill some secrets on how to get your hands on advanced reader copies. I am also sharing blueprints for my upcoming projects and goals, including the planning process for my next book and my targets for future releases and a peek into my future projects that extend all the way to 2025.   I also talked about Afterglow books, a new  harlequin imprint. Check it out here.  This week's Book by DL White is THE GUY NEXT DOOR: Potter Lake book 3. Buy it in eBook, print or audio at booksbydlwhite.com/guy-next-door.   This heart-stirring love story  unfolds between Evonne and Taj after an unexpected accident in a parking lot. Looking forward to writing Potter Lake book 4 to be out later this year! Here we go again!
