This Friday is the day that When the Watcher Shakes releases to Amazon in ebook and paperback! That’s less than 5 days! (I have trouble sometimes with countdowns–do you count the day you’re in or start from the next day?)Anyways, remember to sign up for email updates so you don’t miss the release (you’ll also get a free preview of the book). Also, soon after the book hits the marketplace there will be a Goodreads giveaway. Two free signed copies will be up for grabs! I just have to figure out how to work the Goodreads giveaway website. Shouldn’t be too hard.
Get pumped!

Got a proof copy of my book today
Mark your calendars for July 15!
Hello! A quick note to let everyone know I finally have an official launch date!
On July 15th I will officially release my first novel, When the Watcher Shakes, on Amazon. I can’t wait to share this story with you all; I hope you like it. To stay updated on my writing and publishing progress, click here.
WTWS Cover Reveal!
I am supremely delighted to announce that the cover to my upcoming novel, When the Watcher Shakes, is finally ready for you to see! (If you were an email subscriber, this will be old news to you, since I sent you a peek at it earlier this month).
I’m very happy with the work by Design for Writers. You guys should consider them if you ever need some work done for yourselves.
Without further ado, When the Watcher Shakes:
Eh? eh? Whatcha think?
The dedicated book page is now updated with the cover, too.
The launch is going to be here before we know it! Sign up for email updates so you don’t miss it!

Hard decisions on cover art
I got the cover concepts from my graphic designer recently, and they’re all so good it’s giving me a really tough time figuring out which way to move froward. I think I’m pretty close to a decision but it’s close. It will still be a while before I’m able to show you anything, but just know I’m pretty excited.
Tip: My mailing list subscribers will see the cover first. Click here so you will, too.
Updates: Book page and custom domain
If you guys haven’t noticed, I just added an item in the Menu that will link to a new page dedicated to my upcoming book, When the Watcher Shakes. Some of you may have been wondering for a while when I would spill the beans on what the book is called (or at least, what it’s called for right now), and what it is about (if you had been an email subscriber, you’d have already gotten a few hints on this). So here it is! As I have only just began working with the folks at Design for Writers, I don’t have a book cover image to show you, but you can bet it will be up there when it’s finished and I’m ready to reveal it! I will also have purchase links over there when the book is launched. Right now all that is on the page is the working title and a little bit of promotional copy that isn’t quite set in stone. Does it get you interested in reading? I’d be happy to hear any insights you have on that. Go on and check it out!
Another update to the website is now I have a custom domain name! If you don’t know what that means, now you can type in www.tghuguenin.com or even just tghuguenin.com, and it will all take you to the same place (that is, here!). However, don’t worry. If you are too accustomed to using tghuguenin.wordpress.com, that’ll still work. But now it looks a little more professional, and a little less to type (though you still have to spell my last name right, sorry about that).
That’s all for now! I hope you guys enjoy. Let me know what you think!
New year reflections
Happy New Year everyone!
I guess the thing to do with the beginning of the new year is to reflect on the past and plan for the future. Probably something we should do more than just once a year, but it’s still as good a time as any to start! Continue reading
On self-publishing my book
I am planning to self-publish my novel on Amazon, making eBook versions and paperback versions available with Amazon’s CreateSpace Print-on-Demand service. I’m also looking into the possibility of making it into an audio book, but I’m not sure if I’ll do it this time around or sometime later down the road.

What I've been working on for forever
This is a physical copy of the manuscript I’ve been working on (I almost always do my editing on real paper). Scheduled to go to the professional editor in February. I will probably write more about that soon in the newsletter, so sign up if you haven’t yet!
