Update: Blood Trade

It’s been a little over five weeks since I updated you about my current project.  It’s taking me a lot longer than I expected.  I’m just taking longer to write this than some of my other books.  I’m not sure why, exactly.  I’ve just finished chapter 9.  There will probably be 13 chapters in all.  So, since I started this about the beginning of April, you might expect that it will take me about six more weeks to finish the first draft.  If that is the case, I won’t be ready to revise it until after school starts, and that means I’ll be working much slower on it.  So, my best guess for right now for publication is about the 1st of October.  Wow!  That seems like such a long way off, especially considering I wanted to get three more books done this year.  I guess that’s not going to happen.  The following is a repeat of the short blurb I posted about five weeks ago about the book.  Details are subject to change:

Blood Trade is the story of Goth Girl/Former Army Ranger/Private Detective/Tattoo Model/Vampire Hunter Xochitl McKenna, who is thrown into the world of human trafficking committed by both humans and vampires, as she hunts for a twelve year old runaway. Crossing paths, and sometimes getting in her way, are Vegas Cop Vince Rizello, mysterious FBI agent Dominic Zielinski; Novelyne Cavendish, a 200 year old ditsy blonde vampire, and Larry the werewolf.

I just got my May Amazon royalties and couldn’t be happier.  Thanks to every Kindle owner out there who purchased one of my ebooks.  My Amazon royalties are already quadrupled over what they were last quarter, and this quarter still has another month to go!

As I mentioned before, my primary motivation for writing isn’t the money (but I really appreciate it), but the royalties are real validation of the time and effort put into writing a book.  If I could just ask one more thing, if you’ve read and enjoyed one of my books, please post a positive review, or if that is too much work, just recommend it to someone.

THANKS TO ALL YOU KINDLE OWNERS OUT THERE WHO’VE BOUGHT ONE OF MY BOOKS!  Yes, I’m shouting– that’s why they’re all capitals.

Shanghai Girls: A Novel

For readers of the phenomenal bestsellers Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Peony in Love–a stunning new novel from Lisa See about two sisters who leave Shanghai to find new lives in 1930s Los Angeles.

May and Pearl, two sisters living in Shanghai in the mid-1930s, are beautiful, sophisticated, and well-educated, but their family is on the verge of bankruptcy. Hoping to improve their social standing, May and Pearl’s parents arrange for their daughters to marry “Gold Mountain men” who have come from Los Angeles to find brides.

But when the sisters leave China and arrive at Angel’s Island (the Ellis Island of the West)–where they are detained, interrogated, and humiliated for months–they feel the harsh reality of leaving home. And when May discovers she’s pregnant the situation becomes even more desperate. The sisters make a pact that no one can ever know.

A novel about two sisters, two cultures, and the struggle to find a new life in America while bound to the old, Shanghai Girls is a fresh, fascinating adventure from beloved and bestselling author Lisa See.

Lisa See has a new book out now and I’ve had Shanghair Girls on my “to read” pile forever.  I bought it last year on my birthday with a Sony Store Gift Card I got as a present.
