Summing Up 2022

2022 was a big year in some ways and a teeny one in others.

I had Covid in January and that certainly influenced results. I had to step back and rethink my working schedule, thanks to that illness and its effects. I chose to concentrate on my historical romances instead of writing and publishing in three subgenres, and I enrolled a lot of work in Kindle Unlimited.

Deborah Cooke's new releases 2022

New Releases:

One exciting accomplishment in 2022 was finishing up my Flatiron Five Fitness series with book #10, When Annika Met Thom. This was supposed to be a short story, or maybe a novella, but these two weren’t having any of that. I’m really happy with how their story came out and how it wrapped up the series.

I had no new releases in PNR this year. 😦 We did, though, begin to produce the Dragonfire Novels in A.I. narrated audiobooks.

I also published bundles in the F5F series, three of them, as well as a bundle of Flatiron Five Tattoo in both ebook and print.

Translations:

It was a busy year for translations for me with eleven new translations published. “Claire” had an additional 32, giving me a total of 43 translations published in 2022. That’s my busiest year yet!

You can find these books under the Translations tab, by language: Português, Italiano, and Español. I have new contracts underway to translate the Dragonfire Novels into both French and Portuguese, so that’s something to look forward to in 2023.

Administrivia:

By the fall, I knew that KU wasn’t working for me, so I republished everything at all portals over several months. I also changed newsletter services in 2022 and I updated all of my ebook interiors. (Wow. There are a lot of them.) My PNR came to live on this website, instead of having a site of its own. There was a lot of work behind the scenes this year and I’m glad it’s done. I also have my first ever Kickstarter campaign running right now, which is an exciting new adventure.

Things were even busier on Claire’s side of my office, but I’ll sum that up on her blog.

2023 is going to be all about new stories. I can’t wait.
