Many of you probably know by now that I dipped my toe into the writing world recently. Okay, I’ve actually done more of a swan dive off a cliff into the writing world, but let’s not get bogged down with semantics here.
We just launched STUCK WITH A STIFF, the first title in the STUCK WITH A Series of serial novels by D.D. Scott and David Slegg (yep, that’s me). This series is going to be a lot of fun for me because much of it will be set right here on my farm. If you haven’t done so yet, you can connect with David Slegg on Facebook and Twitter to get my Farm Pic of the Day. The first FPotD was of our first calf of the year. Quite fitting, right?
The following announcement appeared on my author site yesterday. I thought it would be a good idea to post it over here on The Edit Dude just to make sure that all my editing peeps get the message too. Okay, I’m finished. Here you go…
—————————————————–
I’m really excited to announce the release of my first book – co-authored with Amazon and Barnes & Noble Top 100 Bestselling Author D.D. Scott.
We’re fired up to bring back the serial novel.
D.D. will give you the lowdown on what we’re doing. So, without further ado… Take it away, D.D.!
D. D. Scott and David Slegg Do Dickens
I know what you’re thinkin’…
Who’s David Slegg?
And
What do D. D. Scott and this David Slegg have to do with Charles Dickens?
Here’s the scoop…
David Slegg is my new Co-Author.
He’s the Castle to my Beckett.
And
Welcome to our new series…
The Stuck with a Series!
For all you superfab Castle fans out there…
The Stuck with a Series is –
Castle gone country
Today, our first Stuck with a Series Book – STUCK WITH A STIFF – releases!
STUCK WITH A STIFF finishes where I left off in my WG2E All-For-Indies Viva La Valentine Anthology contribution – STUCK WITH A SCHMUCK (the STUCK WITH A STIFF Prequel).
Y’all will find out how that body got in Nicky Blane’s chicken coop as well as who dumped it there to frame Nicky.
Now then…here’s the coolest part of all about this new release…
STUCK WITH A STIFF is being released in serial format!
What does that mean?
Think D. D. Scott and David Slegg do Charles Dickens.
Charles Dickens began his writing career by publishing his novels in Serial Format, which meant that each month, another installment (aka chapter) was released.
How fun is that?!
Okay…fun…but why would an author want to do that?
Here’s the scoop…
One of the questions I’m asked most by my readers is:
“How long do we have to wait for the next book?”
Mind you, I write damn fast – it takes me about three months to write a full-length novel – but, I know, that’s not fast enough, right?! Not according to my readers!!! LOL!
So, “what if” I treated you to a new bit of D. D. Scott-ville, along with David Slegg, each week?
As in…one or two new chapters per week?
Ala Dickens!!!
D. D. Scott and David Slegg Do Dickens
Each week then, just like Dickens did each month, David and I will treat ya to the next chapter in our Stuck with a Series books.
