Officially!

It is official! I have, A) finished updating the website. That look a whole day and some. I had to figure out what I wanted for colors, and fonts, and the whole ordeal. Happily, I am happy with the end results. It def let me know that there is a reason why people get paid for this. However, like indie-publishing, I have to have my finger in everything. I don't want to let go of my control, which sounds absolutely maddening but it is what is it.

B) I have officially set a date for my release date. Whether or not I do ARCs (advanced reader copies) is still up in the air. After all the drama that is happening in the ARC world, with people showing others how to STEAL and publish the works themselves, it's a mess that I don't want to be part of. However, I need reviewers, so I'm a little stuck. The ASL word for stuck is honestly the perfect sign. Oh yeah, the date is March 13, 2025. 198 days away from now, or 28 weeks away or worse, less than 7 months. I have a million and one things to do before I publish it. ISBNs need to be bought, deciding on ARCs, and the most important, the editing needs to be finished.

C) If you have made it this far, please sign up for my newsletter. I know I don't post my blog all the time, but it might be something where I need to see who is out there, a contest, something. Announcements. If you don't want to, go find my Tiktok @author_b.l.vang for more things, or silly things.
