More Money-Wasting "Opportunities" For Writers

More Money-Wasting "Opportunities" For Writers: Following on my last post about how authors can waste money on promotional strategies, here are some more cash-sucking "opportunities."

one day 'Tales of Aradia' will make it to Hollywood but my editor and I are determined to make it there on our terms. We will make it! How do I know you ask? the key to success is two things a little bit of luck and a lot of determination. Its determination that got women the vote. It will be determination that will make Aradia the best of them all.

Attention!

Since publishing Tales of Aradia I have gone through many phases of choosing cover art. my best friend Kimberly Mattia designed the first cover and it was really lovely. However, I was not totally satisfied with it. I wanted a cover with a bit more realism. So i branched out and started looking around. Unfortunately, i soon discovered that similar to editorial services they were pretty darn expensive. Therefore, I looked to my editor who soon suggested his own cover artist Lam Lu. I loved his art but it wasn't exactly what i was looking for. But since i didn't have any other option i went with them. However, three days ago I saw an ad in a facebook group where someone named Harris Channing was offering really good deals for cover art.

I thought what the hell and asked her to design them for me. A day later she sent me these:


magnificent huh? All she charged me for both was $45.00. The transaction was easy, fast, and very satisfactory. Therefore, I have chosen Harris Channing to be my permanent cover artist. You can look forward to seeing more of her magnificent work on the rest of the series. In fact, after the second volume is done by editing by Harrison R. Bradlow I will commission Harris to make a brand new cover!

Books being made into movies...

My best friend Kim pointed out to me that books being made into movies are not necessarily a good thing. Plenty of fantasy books have been adapted such as Eragon, Blood and Chocolate, and the Seeker: the Dark is Rising. They were not box office smashes to say the least. Yet Harry Potter (as inaccurate as the films were) was a huge box office check deposited into JK Rowling's bank. The Lord of the Rings movies were huge as well.

I wonder what makes a book adapted into a movie good? my initial belief was if my book gets turned into a movie i will stay out of the project. However, i think the authors stay out of them too much. Maybe if the authors got involved the movies wouldnt suck so much. One of my other friends even pointed out to me "its your book u have a right to make sure its represented right." I think thats the direction Harry and I will go with if Aradia ever gets turned into a film. We will get directly involved in it. We will talk to the casting people, make announcements to the public, and so much more. Its worth a shot after all.

Volume 4 & 1

Due to the love i bear for my fans, i have decided to publish my rough draft copy of volume 4 in Tales of Aradia. My editor Harrison also agrees with me that for the love of the Aradia fans they must know what happens next. Remember though the newly edited version of the first volume will be available very soon. (like next week soon) in fact it is my editor and my hope that both will available in time for the Christmas rush so everyone will be able to enjoy the magic of the Last Witch series.

I am guessing I have started something

CW’s ‘The Secret Circle’ Premieres Tonight, Guess The Ratings (Poll) - Ratings | TVbytheNumbers

Maybe its because they have milked the vampire thing dry but ever since I started promoting tales of aradia there has a been a rise in witch propaganda. I like to believe that i came up with the idea first but I think Alan Ball (the creator of true blood) is giving me a real run for the money.
I am glad I was able to turn this into an idea but there are numerous things I have to deal with and I am not looking forward to it.

1. Witchcraft is a religion and religion in addition to politics are the most loaded and likely to shed blood topics ever created.
2. I am hoping the people who practice witchcraft and paganism wont hex me
3. I am also hoping my fellow church members and family wont crucify me.
(In case you are wondering yes I am a Christian. A Lutheran to be precise.)
4. most of all, i am hoping that this will be able to satisfy everyone involved. Meaning getting recognition for me, my cover artist, and my editor.

either way though, I am playing this out but doing it my way. That is what my parents always praise me for, I dont think inside the box. I actually think about the diameters and how I can play off the dimensions.

P.S. yes i have watched this show. it doesnt seem so bad but they never do at first.

Answers

If you chose mostly A's

Then the character whose personality matches yours is Aradia the last witch.
You have had a hard life especially with your peers. Friendship therefore means everything to you.  Although you know the world can be cruel you try not to add to it by being honest. You hate to hurt people's feelings. Others mean more to you than yourself. If you can make a difference you do so without any hesitation.

If you chose mostly B's
Then your character matches that of Beau Dayton the four hundred year old vampire and eldest foster son of the head of the zoning board of Salem.
You are realistic and think the world can never change. You are brutally honest because it is the best way to let someone know. However, you are not opposed to lying if it helps you achieve something especially if it concerns your loved ones. You keep to yourself and your involvement in others are limited. You value yourself highly and are not insecure.  

If you chose mostly C's
Then your character matches that of Roy the third eldest son of the owner of the SilverMoon diner, the most popular eatery in Salem, who was born a werewolf.
Insecurity is part of who you are, but you definitely put a value on yourself.  Family is something you are born with and you put up with it no matter what.  Strength is like oxygen to you. No pushes you around. But at that same time you fear abandonment more than anything else.

If you chose mostly D's
Then your character matches that of Tristan the two hundred year old crown prince of the Seelie fae court.
Confidence is what you have in yourself and in your place in the world. No can make you feel bad about yourself because you know how great you are. Making others feel bad, however, is your specialty but you don't mean anything by it. You are harsh but only because you are realistic, you know how tough life can be and don't wish to fool people to think otherwise. You know your duty, your place in life, and embrace with open arms. You like to be around people but you don't need them to validate yourself. You know who and what you are and are proud of it.

If you chose mostly E's
Then your character matches that of the master of all vampires who rules with an iron fist over every vampire in the world including Salem.
You know what is best. You focus on the big picture. Organization and strategy comes to you as easy as breathing. You accomplish more than others. You like to be in control but that's only because you can achieve the most. You reward your followers and friends handsomely but only if they do what you say. You hate to have rivals because that causes chaos and chaos is the one thing you despise.  Accomplishment is what you crave and believe no matter how far you rise there is always more.
