Book 6 release date has been delayed

  My father once promised that he would support my writing career and in fact after looking over my tax information and adding up how much money I have made this past year even he admitted that he was glad he made that promise. However, like many deals in this world there are always conditions that must be meet. It's no seceret that I am very poor student so to speak. In other words, the odds of me getting a scholarship are like the odds of discovering a cure for P.M.S. it is not bloody likely. That being said my father and my family has made me promise that my writing will not intefer with my schooling. It hasn't. However, due to unfortante circumstances I will be forced to drop a class this semester. In the eyes of my family it is the same as failing and because nothing matters more than schooling I must make up this mistake. 
Bottom line: I have promised my fans every summer to release a new book in my series but because I have failed my class then this cannot be done. I will have to delay releasing book 6 until next year. I am sorry everyone but it can't be helped.

To self publish or not to self publish?

 
In the old days, there were two ways to publish: with traditional houses, the optimal choice, or their ugly step-sister, vanity presses. Today, in addition to large and small traditional houses, there are various self-publishing options, including DIY platforms, self-publishing partnerships, also called assisted self-publishing, and, for self-publishers who want the publishing house experience, hybrid subsidy presses.

I personally chose self-publishing after research but I knew it would be hard. All the marketing and the effort is something I do. My editor helps me but being the author I call the shots. It's hard I will admit and I do not advise self publishing on people who have full time jobs, marriages or children. This is not a hobby. It's a full time gig. I choose this because really I have no other obligations beside school. I have no regrets but I do advise other writers to weigh all their options before they choose this path.

MediaShift . 10 Proofreading Tips For Self-Publishers | PBS

MediaShift . 10 Proofreading Tips For Self-Publishers | PBS: "If you are self-publishing, then proofreading your manuscript is a really challenging task -- and you'll kick yourself if you find a mistake after you've told everyone about the book. No matter how many times you've read through your work, it's amazing how often errors can sneak through to the final stages. The problem: You're so familiar with the text that you see what you think you have written rather than what you actually wrote. For this reason, at the very least, it's good to ask a few friends to help you proofread."
