I recently completed my latest book, which happens to be a companion book to my Our Lady of Righteous Rage series. This book, Rock N Role Model, picks up where Righteous left off: Amy and company have returned from their first national tour, and are working on their next album. In the midst of the songwriting and recording, Amy meets a young fan, and learns the two of them share a very special (and unexpected) connection. This is going to lead into the next book in the series, which will be Rise, Resist, Reform.  

Create Space, the platform I have been using to publish since 2015, merged with KDP, and there have been ups and downs to this merger. The good news is, everything is now in one place. The bad news is, I no longer have access to some of the template I used to create covers. This means, when I continue to publish books in a single series, the covers may have a different  look from one another, which is a bit annoying. 

Then I thought about the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe, for you non-nerds out there).  It’s broken up into “phases”, where certain movies are grouped together, based on their stories and release dates. The MCU has three phases:

1. Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvel’s The Avengers
2. Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Ant-Man
3. Captain America: Civil War, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. Spider-man: Homecoming, Thor: Ragnarok, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Ant-man and The Wasp, Captain Marvel

I decided to take a nod from the MCU, and be a little creative. So, the Our Lady series is about to start a new phase. Phase One, was the first four (and extended version) books, and five companion books. Amy and her friends growing up, starting the band, business, and wading through the DIY waters. Now that they’ve gone on tour, and established themselves, it’s time for the real fun to begin. This, is Phase Two.

Phase One was personal, but Phase Two will be even more personal, starting with Amy’s first solo companion book, Rock N Role Model. I’m going to pull the characters’ families into the story more than I did in the previous books, and incorporate more song lyrics.  I think its going to be very interesting.

Rock N Role Model will be available in paperback form by the end of next week.
