My Plans, And A Change, For 2022

by

 

This year, things are going to be different.

 

Very different!

 

Here are my plans for 2022

 

– 1 – I will no longer be posting monthly.

I know it was basically just a catch-up of what had been done and what I was going to do for the next month, but even that was feeling like way too much to deal with. So, blogging will be cut down to this yearly post, a half-yearly catch up, and a full year catch-up, along with any posts about book releases.

 

– 2 – I will no longer be doing newsletters.

 

– 3 – I won’t be writing to a schedule I can no longer stick to.

In 2020 I didn’t write or release the sixth set of books. They only came out last year in 2021, when, technically, the seventh set was supposed to be released. This year, it would be the eighth set due for release but I am so far from them that I cannot see them on the horizon.

So, what I’m going to do is take the pressure off myself and only write when I am inspired. Who knows, at some point in the future you may actually get some books on a monthly basis as I claimed last September. But that won’t be happening unless I have books to release, which, at this point in time, I just don’t.

 

– 4 – The paperback and hardcovers versions of Six Bone will be released, and I’ll let you know when.

 

– 5 – Posts to social media will basically cease because my Twitter and Pinterest accounts will be closed, but my Instagram account and Facebook page will go silent and private. FOR NOW.

For those who don’t know, T.K. Wrathbone is the children’s/tween author pen name of Tiara King. Any posts here will be posted to her/my social media at @tiarakinghq, or on the publishing house’s social media at @royalstarpublishing.

 

And in general, try and find inspiration once more, which the last couple of years has been sadly lacking.

 

So to all who read this, drop on by to the bookstore and buy a book. They’re really good!

 

 

Infestation Is Here!

Terrors; it’s not always the monster in the bed that you need to worry about…

Dark Shadows: Sean Gilbert’s having his friends for a night of horror movies, but they’re woken in the middle of the night. When they realise it’s not Rusty the cat, they go in search of what it may be, only to find Rusty has beaten them to it. That’s when they discover that shadows aren’t as innocent as they seem.

Ne-Fairy-Ous: It’s Alyssa Graham’s tenth birthday and she’s having a party which all of the local “peasants” are invited. When one guest disappears into the forest behind her house and doesn’t come out, she and her friends follow to continue their bullying of her. But they’re met with a malevolent force they’ve never encountered before. And never will again.

A Rake Is Not Just a Garden Tool: Quinn Kingsley and his friends go exploring around the ruins of the local hospital for something to do on a Saturday afternoon. They go armed with bats and cameras because strange sounds have been heard from the ruins. As they walk around making their own “Attenborough” video, they soon find out the hard way that a rake is not just a garden tool.

Well, Well, Well…: Wynn Ellery is panning for gold for his twelfth birthday and his friends have come along for the ride. Once they have their fill of gold, burgers, and hotdogs, they trek across the river to explore the old prospecting ruins to see how the world has changed. But what they find is even older, and freakier, than they could ever imagine.

Elizabeth Wants to Play: Harlan and his cousin Levi want to show their friends around their grandmother’s house. It’s a home full of weird and wonderful things collected over decades, including all of the haunted toys in the basement who are having one continual tea party. But when one toy, in particular, wants to play with them, the boys have quite a demon on their hands, especially when she gets down and dirty.

An End of 2021 Catch Up!

by Leave a Comment

And now, let’s catch up with my yearly plans…

 

What I had ALREADY done in January…

 

– 1 – Changed the theme for this blog to a more mature look and layout and added several new pages and a better bookstore and book pages.

– 2 – Updated the timeline on the about page.

 

What was ALREADY in the making for this year…was black, now it’s green!

 

– 1 – The release of ALL five sets of TKW’s Bones books in casebound hardcovers, dust jacket hardcovers, and large print paperbacks.

 

What I had planned for the year was all in black…

 

– 1 – Write the next six stories and ten anthologies under TKW since none were released last year. AT ALL! So that’s for Six Bone and Seven Bone.

– 1.1 – Type them up, edit them, send them off for editing, edit some more, etc, etc, etc…

– 1.2 – Get the covers done, check the proofs, and release them in e-book, paperback, and hardcover formats October 31st at the latest.

 

– 2 – Continue posting to Insta, FB, TW once a week and pin to my Pinterest boards monthly.

 

– 3 – Get my mailing list for my books done, and set up a newsletter for this website. I just haven’t had the brain power, or enough time in a day to do it, but I did want to overhaul the website first. Which I have.

 

– 4 – Write a reader magnet for that mailing list.

 

They were the year’s plan’s. And as you can see from the original post on this page here, what I had planned is a little all over the place. The stories for Six Bone were written and released, the stories for Seven Bone were not, and the print versions were definitely not done by October 31st.

2, 3, and 4 have not been done due to mental disinterest, hence the reason for last month’s post about have to completely overhaul the way I do things. Things will be changing. But that’s not such a bad thing.

 

More on that in coming months…
