Dear Readers,
Recently, I announced that Winter Song would be out on May
28th. I regret to state that I might have to push that date back a bit. I really
hate pushing the date back, but I refuse to put out a book with flaws just to
get it out there by a certain date.
Being an independent author is running your own business and
as all business owners I'm learning as I go and I make mistakes. After Quail
Crossings came out, I was so excited to be living my dream, and y'all were so
supportive and asking about the next book, that I set an unrealistic goal for
myself and the quality of work I want to put out. The quality of work y'all
deserve.
In today's independent publishing world there are a lot of
authors who just crank out book after book. Unfortunately, some of these books
go on the Amazon shelf way before they are ready. They are full of errors and
storylines full of holes. It's not fair to you as the reader and it's a bad
move on their part. I refuse to fall into that quantity is better than quality
trap. It's bad for books in general and it's not fair to you, the reader.
I want you to enjoy everything of mine you buy. I want you
to know that I put in the time that you as the reader deserve. Thanks for all
your support. I will get Winter Song out early this summer and hopefully you'll
feel it was worth the wait.
Sincerely,
Jennifer McMurrain
