Barnes&Noble Book Signing

Last weekend was my first book signing, and I had no clue how it was going to turn out. I knew the average Indie Author sells 4-8 books at their signings so I decided to aim for twelve. (If you’re wondering why twelve it’s because a manager at 2ndCharles told me one of their best Sci-fi indie authors sold ten, and my competitive self wanted to beat that.)

I ended up selling 13 copies!!

Got 18 newsletter signups.

Now planning to schedule another signing.

But that’s not all! I went back to Barnes&Noble the next day to see my books on the shelf, and they’d put it next to Hunger Games and The Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi. (and next to Lightlark) Needless to say, I kind of had a moment seeing my book beside three bestsellers.

New Character Art

So I have new character art of Javeer and Laeli which I’m really excited to share. It was created by readingbythelantern on Instagram and came out so beautifully! (This may or may not be a pivotal scene from Book 1 that looks really calming but is about to turn into a nightmare.)

Small Lore Drop

AI will be a heavy theme in my series, but I’m not planning on doing the whole AI takes over the world and overpowers the humans thing. I’m actually doing something that I feel is more accurate and less represented. (Evil humans taking over the world with AI)

How will be I doing that? (Can’t say cause then I’d be mean for dropping spoilers) However, what I CAN say is I firmly believe it’s human nature that’s always the problem in the end and not some robotic/artificial entity. I love diving into the morality of a situation and throughout my series, I plan to touch on the ethics of human/robotic experimentation, overuse of AI, and the dark nature of politics. (Totally doesn’t sound like anything in real life, cough, cough.)

On a final note, be sure to follow and subscribe because my next newsletter will go over the many different robots in my series and their functions. Since I’m a generous author, I will share an action quote/scene sneak peak from Book 2 ;)
