I uploaded Scourge when I didn't entirely understand Goodreads. I have absolutely no idea what version is currently on there - but it's been on there since sometime in 2012, which would have been when the first version went live on Amazon. Since then, I recall having made some rewrites. I have no idea if people who have reviewed or starred have read the version which was available on Kindle/Smashwords or Goodreads, therefore I have no idea what versions they've reviewed. It also appears that once something is on Goodreads, its there forever and I'm not permitted to change my cover art? It shows its old, when this is the cover displayed:
That there was the original cover I created with a free image before Kate made my other cover which I've been using forever now. Its a bit lame. It shows nothing about the book and blah it's not the proper cover anymore.
Scourge disheartens me sometimes. It was my first book which I probably should not have rushed to get out there, because I didn't have anyone to read it and check over any issues with plot, characters or spelling and grammar errors. I still need someone to look at Averan to make sure it's going all right. I have completely abandoned the 'different character every chapter first person narrative' I tried in Scourge. My problem I had then and sort of now is that I am not a huge fan of third person narrative because I don't think I do it very well, so I favour speaking as a character in first person - of course for Averan, I have decided that only Emily speaks in first person, so if I need another character to take over for a chapter - they're pushed to third person because it can be confusing switching between characters all screaming in first person narrative.
I know Scourge says it's the first book in the series, but due to all the problems I have had with it I am not looking at going back to it any time soon, although I have made some amendments to the print version which I am only vaguely considering taking to the Comic Con in August/September.
I hope I can get someone to look over Averan. Having read reviews on Goodreads I can't say I'm feeling like writing right now. LIKE EVERY DAY!
