Greetings from Gettysburg, Volume 5 is in its final edits, and having its new ISBN. It will be ready to publish next week. I still have to add the description. This book is now 300 pages. COVID set me back about five weeks. I still have books 6 & 7 to update, and I need … More HE’S GOT THIS!
Happy March 9th! I am working on short “Animated Character Clips.” https://thememoirsofsummerray.com/animated-character-clips/. This is to give an idea of the characters and how they will potentially look. Of course, they won’t be animated. But there will be a lot of special effects and CGI. A.I., technology is amazing. I don’t use it on the book … More LASER FOCUSED!
I am literally shaking as I write this. I am about to publish the 4th book – The Journey Home! When I started to update the books with their new ISBNs, barcodes, and book covers, I was on a time crunch. I had from January to June to publish the first seven books, and the … More THE FULL ADVENTURE!
We set these ambitious goals and all is well. We are laser focused and doing all we can to accomplish our goals. Then something called, “life” happens. I was making blogs every week. Sometimes several times a week. The last one was on February 04th. Which, I don’t even remember because of all that has … More A RESET!
As I was finishing up the edits on the 3rd book, Her Yankee Heart, Jason and I went back to the Monocacy Battlefield in Frederick, Maryland. (https://www.nps.gov/mono/index.htm) Our initial plan was to stop by the Best Farm. You can see it in the background. But due to the snow, we couldn’t get in. So, it … More A GLOBAL NEED!
It is slow and steady back on the ice! But this is how it needs to be until I am fully recovered. I see this with the project as well. Updating the books is a very slow and steady process too. But rushing ahead, hurting myself, and overlooking mistakes, is seriously not the way to … More 2026 & GOALS!
Part of being in business, is also the need for professional organization. Let me just say this right now, it’s really not one of my stronger virtues. I am actually very bad with it. But it isn’t just about writing, books or scripts, it is also about administration. We are far enough a long that … More A TIME OF ORDER!
I am not sure how this all relates to the project. But I am sure it does in some way. My old bookshelves, we finally got rid of. The problem, we didn’t immediately buy new ones. So, all my books and craft stuff ended up on the floor – neatly at first. Then the pile … More PROPER PLACE AND IN ORDER!
I have been with Summer Ray for over sixteen years. When I think of the amount of work that has been done, and the work that still needs to be done until the final, “The End,” it does get intimidating. I have no idea how it will all get accomplished. I only know what is … More THE BACK AND FORTH!
I am happy to announce that the 2nd book, Savannah’s Calling, will be published soon. You can click on the first picture of volume 1, This Fair and Blighted Land, to view that book on Amazon. If you go back through my blogs, you will read that I have always strived for excellence. But excellence … More SOMEWHAT DIVINE!
