The Writing Process Blog Hop

Thanks to Elizabeth Delisi , for tagging me in The Writing Process Blog Hop. Read about Elizabeth Delisi’s writing process here . At the end I’ll be tagging a few other authors, so please do follow those links to their blogs and interviews. Click on any of the book covers below to purchase them or go to my website at Kim Cox, Author . What am I currently working on? That’s a loaded question. ;) I’m working on two different books right now and have about eight books in different stages of completion and ideas for about three more series.  However, my main focus is on  The Wedding Crasher . This book will be the third book in the “Lana Malloy Paranormal Mysteries” series. Lana is a Psychic Private Investigator who's paranormal abilities grow with each book. In the first book, Haunted Hearts ,  included in the Enchanted Holidays anthology, Lana could only see, hear, and talk to her great aunt (a ghost), and she could only hear other ghosts.

Self-Publishing Research

I'm very exited at the prospect of self-publishing and I can't wait to get started. However, as with any great idea it needs to be researched. I had this idea about two years ago but I was told I shouldn't pursue it as I wouldn't be respected in the publishing industry anymore. This made absolutely no sense to me but I held off. It's not like I'm a brand new author. I have one full-length book in print, Suspicious Minds , and two novellas in anthologies: Haunted Hearts in Enchanted Holidays and Get Out or Die! in One Touch Beyond , along with a number of short stories that have appeared in different e-zines, and an adoption story that was published in True Love magazine. I also have numerous books in different stages of completion from only a few sentences to three-quarters completed. Research To get started, I downloaded a few books on self-publishing. I now have a total of 15 books on the subject. So far, I've read 3 books which I will discuss them h
