Go back to Kay’s story and get it written.
Pull together a team to help with the story.
Need photos cleaned up and picture of Kay photoshopped. Not sure if Penny can handle it or if we need to find somebody more experienced. but adults need out of photo so it can be used for the cover.
contract for cover. we might be able to do this ourselves if we can use the photo
Formatting needs to be done. I’m not sure we can do this ourselves but maybe somebody on the team has the knowledge to do it.
upload to Createspace and Amazon
Once Kay’s story is out of my hands I want to lay out the 3rd, and at this point in time final, book in the Cosmic Chronicles. It has to sell better before I put any more time on it. Title at this point is either Cosmic Chase or Cosmic Justice. Not sure yet.

Giving myself 3 months to create the first draft.

This should take me to June of 2017
Once Cosmic Chronicles trilogy is finished, I want to write book #1 in the new series. Lucky Donovan’s story will finally get told. Along with her first novel I have 5 short stories that need written. I’m too far out from this story to know the order of things yet. but her story has to get told because she won’t leave me alone. I don’t know if this will be my break out novel but it feels like it could be. This is the next book that I will query agents on. I have a feeling about this character. I think she could be my break out novel. And she would be ideal for movie and TV.
Once she’s out of my hair, I’ll go back and finish the Spirit Touched novels. Knock Knock is book one in a 4 book series. Each one stand alone. This is a lot of work to get done before the end of 2017.
