People read your books in a day or two. They say your books are hard to put down. How long did it take to write the Raven Ledger Duet and what was the process?
That’s a great question. So, let me start by pointing out that each book in this series is between 25% to 35% larger than the average thriller/horror novel. They’re bigger because I want the reader to connect with the characters in the same way I do. I write a novel in four to six months. It then takes about six months to edit. I have multiple edits performed by various talented editors. Then I work with a designer to create my covers and this takes several weeks between revisions. All in it takes about a year to write two larger-than-average novels. The audible takes an additional three to six months.
If you can sit down with your readers one on one is there anything you would ask of them?
Oh, I love this one! I’d really appreciate readers who love my work to write a review for me on Amazon, the more reviews I receive the more Amazon pushes my work to potential readers.
Also, I would be so grateful if they’d share my social media posts. It’s difficult to get the word out far and fast. I pay a lot of money through social media to reach my readers and let them know I’ve released a new book—this can be frustrating and difficult.
This is why I consistently ask readers to sign up for my book release emails at https://paigedearth.com/book-releases/ This allows me to contact readers directly every time I publish a new book.
What do you say to fans who have read everything you wrote and anticipate each new book?
Without my readers, I would be reduced to just words on a page and a voice silenced once again.
Those who read my work allow me to keep writing and tell my stories. Because of my readers, I have become gentler and kinder with myself. I say: thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you all and appreciate your support.
