A Pause in the Process

hrjThe Skin-Singer release process has gotten caught up with almost all the pending steps. The print copies arrived today (just in time to take to Worldcon). The kindle version is live and added to the Books2Read page. I've been able to add one non-Amazon link to the print links on Books2Read. (Need to research what other outlets might have it available to order.)
My advertising has been limited to social media at this point. I've made up some business-card sized promo cards to hand out, but they're b&w since I was printing them at home. (It would be unethical of me to regret lack of access to the color laser printers at Bayer. Right?) I'll draw up some flashier promo cards to use online and in hard copy when I have some breathing space. But my plan has always been to launch and then work on the publicity rather than treating it as an "all or nothing at the start" project.
The next big step will be recording the audio version (which I'll be narrating myself). Then there will be learning the process for audio distribution. But all that will probably wait until I get back from New Zealand, since I'll only have 10 days in between trips.
I have, however, already uploaded the next two podcasts. And if I work in some sound editing time (maybe on the train) then I'll be way ahead on the September episodes as well.
At the moment, I'm waiting for the dryer to finish so I can do the last packing items, and then I can re...well, ok, I won't relax until I'm actually on board the train tonight. But I have my ride all lined up. So there's that.
