News from Nancy
Posted by Nancy J. Cohen on June 25, 2012
I’m happy to announce that I’ve sold Warrior Rogue, the second book in my upcoming paranormal romance series, to The Wild Rose Press. The first book in the Drift Lords series, Warrior Prince, debuts on Sept. 21 in print and digital formats. The book trailer is available now if you want a sneak peek: http://youtu.be/aVm2FIumw0o
Meanwhile, I’ve made a few minor changes as per my editor on book number two. These took me one day to do, and now I’m waiting for the line by line edits. My editor is really sharp and picks up things I miss, like a day of the week being inconsistent or repetitions of backstory. So I am always grateful for her input that makes my book stronger.
I love the epic adventure of this series, the Norse mythology, and the inclusion of magical elements. It’s the first time I’ve delved into the realm of fantasy in a modern day setting, so I hope you’ll follow me along on this new journey. Check out my vision board on Pinterest to see some of the images for this story.
Once again, the action takes place in Florida. What can I say? I love writing about this diverse state. But it doesn’t stay there. In Warrior Rogue, the tale begins in Tokyo and moves to Hong Kong, New York, and Palm Beach. I’m busy planning contests and more to keep you excited about the series debut.
The weather has been gloomy for South Florida, with overcast skies and occasional heavy showers as Tropical Storm Debby lingers in the area. But rainy days are good for staying home and getting work done, at least for those of us without day jobs. In between working on my paranormal series, I’m writing my next Bad Hair Day mystery. Today brought me up to page 95. I’ll keep my steady pace of 5 pages a day for 5 days a week until summoned to work on Warrior Rogue again.

What do you like to do on a rainy day—get things accomplished at home; or read, watch TV, and cruise the Web?

On this particular stormy morning, I’m preparing to take my 90yr old FIL to a doctor’s appt. and also to get his hearing aide fixed. Then back to the house to do some reviews. All in all a very average day. LOL
Nancy J. Cohen said
You’re a good wife to chauffeur your FIL around. Maybe you can get some reading done in the waiting rooms.

Thanks for posting this on your site! Can you do a repeat in early September when the book shows up for pre-ordering?
Betsy said
So excited for your new sale. I love it when writer friends share great news.
What do I do on a rainy day? Write until the muse is satisfied, then go for a long walk. Unless the rain is a deluge. Love rainy walks. Clears the head while the atmosphere gets a bath.
Nancy J. Cohen said
You must not get the soaking rains that we get here. When it blows at you, you’ll get wet even with an umbrella.

CONGRATS Nancy!!
Nancy J. Cohen said
Many thanks, Dawn!

Congratulations Nancy! On rainy days, of which we have too many in the Pacific Northwest, I go to Texas.
Nancy J. Cohen said
I imagine it’s cloudy most of the time in the Pacific Northwest. I couldn’t live there. I thrive in sunshine. You’ll get that in Texas.

Hope to see you in the near future.

Nancy J. Cohen said
Thanks, Coco. Haven’t seen you around in a while. Are you in Florida at all these days?
fieldnurseCoco said
Paranormal… typo… actually no. My Siamese takes over my keyboard.
I am so proud of you Nancy. Your books are my gifts to friends and family, and they love them.
Bisous

Nancy,
Love your post–and the trailer’s beautiful! Have been thinking of doing one for my book but have no idea of where/how to acquire images or cost.
Any help would be appreciated…when you have a spare minute LOL
Best,
Diane

Diane, I’ve already written a blog on How To Do Your Own Book Trailer. I will email it to you privately. I like 123rf.com for the images and istockmusic.net for the music. Those are my only costs. I do it with Windows Movie Maker.
Nancy J. Cohen said
Coco, you’re so sweet!

Love the trailer! If it were raining here in Illinois, I’d work on my novel or clean a closet (so I told my husband), but it’s gorgeous outside. I planted flowers.
Nancy J. Cohen said
Planting flowers sounds like a nice outdoor activity for good weather. Enjoy!
Maureen said
Congratulations, that is terrific news – for us as well as you! Looking forward to it and to more books from you in all your series!
Nancy J. Cohen said
Thanks so much, Maureen. I love writing both romance and mystery. It’s the best of both worlds. Tossing in a bit of sf/f into the romance mix makes it more fun.
