Out of Touch (Touch of Gray - Book One) is available now on Amazon Kindle.

Description:  Decades ago, psychics were exposed as a real phenomena. While many psychic abilities are unremarkable, some abilities are coveted by the US government. Seeing the US begin to persecute select citizens, the Greater Tribal Council of the Americas (GT) offered asylum to people deemed Psycepts, psychics or those with enhanced perception.

The GT nation formed 150 years ago when the various native tribes of US territories, Canada , and Mexico banded together to fight the countries to a standstill. Now the GT nation comprises lands from central and western North America. The GT is the last hope many Psycepts have of living a regular life.

Gray Graham is a touch clairvoyant living on one of the conservatorships that make up the GT. In exchange for residency and protection from the US, she agrees to help petitioners seeking answers about missing or departed family or friends. Keeping separate from fellow Psycepts has served her well in the fifteen years she has live on the Southwestern Alliance Conservatorship. Now, forces are at work to drag Psycepts back into wider world, whether they like it or not.

Writing Corner: How I Write - Keeping Track of Multiple Books Across a World

-
When writing multiple series set in one world, keeping track of details can become difficult, especially if the main characters in one series are secondary characters in another.  My process for keeping track of events, timeline, characteristics, and conversations is old school. Basically, I open all of my previous books as pdfs (easy to toggle to and not so easy to accidentally type over).  I have a rough idea of which book holds which details, so I can quickly flip to the pdf and search for a word or phrase and reread the passage.   I also keep a written world bible filled with characters in each book and their relation to main characters and each other.  Did I meet a police officer from such-and-such, can I use them again in later books?  What about mentions of friends and family members?  Places that characters grew up?  Etc. For instance, I have several police characters that my main character in Touch of Gray interacts with in the first book...

You've worked on a book for six months.  You've edited it multiple times, it has been reviewed by beta readers, editors, etc.  You've listed the book, promoted it on your social media platforms, and it is finally launch day.  Eagerly you wait to see the response to something you've devoted quite a bit of time to.

I've found that being on social media not solely for promotion is a good way to connect with people.  I tweet about upcoming movies and television shows, reply to others' tweets,...
