News: Writing and Editing

  • Apparently writing my last post galvanized me, because I finished three of the short stories in my Dragon's Hoard short story set.  There's still a lot left to do, but this is the first time I've made progress on this in years.  I'm still hoping to have it completed and ready for release by the time my Dragon's Hoard series enters reprints, so I'm going to continue working hard on it. 

  • I have also received the first round of edits for Dragon Adventure.  This is a cute short story set in the world of my Supernatural Consultant.  It fits into the timeline and references the previous books, but the plot is totally different.  If you loved Aqua and Rios from Dragon Dilemma, you'll love Dragon Adventure (and its sequel Dragon Home). 

  • Three of my stories have reached the end of their lives.  The Jack O'Lantern's Grin, Bloody Kiss, and Cleanly Wrong have all gone out of print. 
    • Jack O'Lantern's Grin is done.  I have no plans to edit and resubmit it and I don't have any time to put it together as a freebee. 

    • Bloody Kiss is also done for the moment, however I really liked the world I created for this story.  One day I would like to revisit this story, fix it up, and expand it into a series.  My to-do list is far too large right now, so I won't be working on this for a very long time, but maybe one day you'll see Bloody Kiss again. 

    • Cleanly Wrong will definitely return, I just haven't decided in what form.  I could resubmit it as-is, but I have some plans of putting together a fairy tale themed anthology with some old stories and some new ones included.  Cleanly Wrong would be one of those stories.  I need to figure out which direction I want to go and then you will see Cleanly Wrong again.

News: I'm Still Here

Despite my needing to take some time off from writing, things continue to progress with all my stories.  Here's an update on how things are going:
  • Magnified was released on September 7th and so far has been getting great reviews.  Thank you to everyone that purchased a copy.  I really hope you enjoyed it! 

  • Cinder-Elle, my fairytale short story from Fairytales Slashed Volume 4, is out of print.  I have some plans for this story, so look for it to appear on my to-do list again. 

  • Speaking of stories going out of print soon, Cleanly Wrong, my story from the Bestiary collection will be going out of print at the end of September.  I'm hoping to polish and resubmit this story, but it may be a while before I can get my act together and make that happen.  Bloody Kiss, my story from the Proud to be a Vampire collection and Jack O'Lantern's Grin, my story from the Halloween Rentboy's collection will both be going out of print in October.  Bloody Kiss might return as part of a larger series, but don't hold me to that.  Jack O'Lantern's Grin will not be returning, so get your copies before they're gone. 

  • I have also been getting a lot of editing accomplished.  The first round of edits for Ner Li and Ge-Mi: Part One and the second round for The Case of the Wandering Wolves and Dragon Soldier are back with LT3, as well as a final proof read for Dragon Detective (out on October 19th).  I have the second pass of edits for Elemental Ride sitting in my inbox that I will start working on soon.

But when Baine arrives at the werewolf village prepared to rescue Laine and return home triumphant, he soon learns that any plan involving a dragon and a werewolf is bound to go awry.
  • The next book is part of LT3's Halloween Rentboy Serial.  My contribution is titled The Jack O' Lantern's Grin and it will for sale on Oct. 31st.
