An actual update from me
What I’ve Been Doing?
I almost don’t want to answer this question (just kidding). But I’ve spent tons of time writing, as usual. As well as figuring out a really good marketing strategy. I’ve also moved around the country a few times now, and I’m on my way out.
Let’s start with me moving around. I was in Michigan for a while. Then California. Now I’m in Seattle, and I’m on my way to Oregon. Oregon being my last stop, before I head overseas. My end goal: Move To The Philippines.
I’m also going back to online school. I was taking a course to teach abroad, and I recently stopped for about a month. I’m starting my classes back up next month, and I should be done soon. I’m super excited.
Secret Project???
There are two crowds of readers in the publishing world: Casual Readers & Subscription Readers. Again, this is how they are presented to authors. These readers aren’t often seen mixing, meaning casual readers don’t mind finding books on different platforms, while subscription readers are found checking out books on Amazon (exclusively). The goal for me, is to line the pieces up.
Both communities in one.
I know I can’t do this under one brand. Sakari Lacross is only one being. It’s a name that has already stapled more as a “wide author,” meaning the brand behind that name is known for publishing to a wider audience. No exclusivity. However, a second brand, allows for me to form a different strategy, without abandoning my old pen name’s lane of marketing.
Kamari L???
Exclusivity will be the brand under this pen name. The name will be under Kamari L. Kamari will introduce a more disciplined lane to my writing, as well as my targeted audience. The pen name Kamari will work under the horror and Fantasy audience. The writing style will tell stories through the form of journal entries, giving the feel of poetry and emotional connection, through past and present tense story telling.
Targeting Amazon exclusivity, allows me to keep the door open for readers. Those with a Kindle Unlimited account, will be able to gain instant access to my biweekly releases of all the episodic fiction I release under the Kamari name. For so long, I’ve abandoned this audience.
I have multiple projects in the works under this name, and I can’t wait to…yeah…more on this in the future…
Entry 1
I requested my mother’s body. I wanted to give her a proper burial. To my surprise…they couldn’t find it. A corpse. She was clearly dead. She had been murdered by…
None of that mattered. I still couldn’t wrap my head around her missing body. She had now been added to the list of missing corpses that had been being removed from their last site of rest. Who would move a woman spilling in cold blood?
The law would only tell us citizens so much. I hated this. This was now my mother missing — not someone I was watching on the news. And to think…me and my mother was just watching a missing corpse report on the news, four days ago.
She was gone before the scene could even be properly investigated. Though I watched her take her last breath. None of this made sense. There was no sign of proper connection to the previous bodies and hers. Just a string of murders and then…
Whoever was doing this, was beyond sick.

When I ask what you’re doing
I meant to ask if you were thinking of me
I mean do you love me
When there’s so many guys around
