I am honestly having some trouble believing this, but Dragon Consultant is a bestseller at All Romance e-books! It is sitting strong at number 35 on the list, which is amazing! The last time this happened was with Stealing the Dragon, but that was only after Stealing had been out for a few weeks and word of mouth had gone around that people were really enjoying it. Dragon Consultant is only out on pre-order with just under two months until the December 9th release date.
All I can say at this point is thank you! Thank you to all the readers who stick with me for every book and are helping to spread the word about this new story of mine that I love so much. Dragon Consultant is my first protracted foray into Paranormal (Urban) fantasy. I stuck with what I know from writing fantasy--lovable dragons, elemental powers, and fighting the enemy in order to find happiness--and expanded greatly from there. I've never written a series nearly as long or as involved as this one and I think readers will really enjoy the parts of this book and series that are unique from everything else I've ever written. This story is about finding family and a home, about culture and society, and about defeating an enemy that is truly evil. I am having such an amazing time writing these books and I really do hope everyone that has chosen to pre-order Dragon Consultant loves the story and the dragons as much as I do. I have four books in the series slated for publication from December 2015 all the way through 2016 and have three more that I'm currently writing. Dragon Consultant will be released on December 9, 2015. It is available for pre-order at any retailer that allows pre-order sales. This includes, but isn't limited to:
Dragon Deception will be released on February 10, 2016. It should be available for pre-order soon. Dragon Dilemma and Dragon Detective should be released sometime in 2016. An official date has not yet been decided. Dragon Soldier, Dragon Adventure, and Dragon Spy are my current works in progress in this series. I plan to have them completed and submitted to LT3 soon. I am also hoping to have many more books beyond these seven. Thank you again to everyone. Your support means a lot and makes me want to write even more than before. I hope you stay with me as this series and my dragons continue to grow.

I've partially brought this on myself, unfortunately, but all of a sudden I'm totally swamped with edits and have zero time to get any writing done. That bites. Coming up with new scenes and fun dialogue is so much more interesting than learning what I did wrong and having to fix all those mistakes. Still, the edits need to be completed and the sooner I'm done the sooner I can return to writing.
First I've been working on the edits for The Case of the Wandering Wolves. This story is for LT3's Private Dicks call. It's about a private detective known as Coyote who is investigating the kidnapping of a young girl all while trying to snare his mate. It's an older story set in the same world as my story Heartbeat. I shined it up, but it didn't quite feel right so I sent it off to two beta readers. They've both since returned their recommendations to me and there's a lot to fix. I actually put off working on what the beta readers sent me for a few weeks. I told myself that after I finished with my six week summer job I would still have plenty of time to get this story ready to submit. The truth is, I do have that time. The story isn't due until October 31st, but there's still so much I need to accomplish before it's ready that I do feel the date is going to creep up on me. I was just starting to make progress in TCotWW when LT3 sent me round two of the edits for Dragon Deception, book two in my Supernatural Consultant series. These edits have a due date and take precedent over a story that hasn't even been submitted yet, so I set TCotWW aside and got to work. Usually the second round is very straightforward. The major issues were supposed to be taken care of in round one, so round two is to make sure that I didn't bungle fixing those issues. I bungled. It's taken a while to fix everything I messed up. I was almost done with Deception when LT3 sent me another email. They had the copy edits for Dragon Consultant, the first book in my Supernatural Consultant series, and I needed to fix a few things the copy editor didn't like asap. Obviously the book that's coming out in a few months beats the edits for the next book in the series. Luckily, I love playing with these dragons. It's never a hardship to go through any of my Supernatural Consultant stories. It still took me a couple of days to make sure I answered all the copy editor's issues. I sent the story back to LT3 this morning, which means Dragon Consultant will be one hundred percent ready to go on December 9th. With Consultant back to LT3, I could return to Dragon Deception. I am almost done fixing the last of the problems. There are exactly two more and I of course left the hardest for last. I'm hoping I can figure them out tomorrow, after which I will read through the story one last time before sending it to LT3. I have never before had two stories in the same series ready to go before the first book even came out--and there's still time to make progress on editing the third book, Dragon Dilemma, if I really want to go for a record. It's taken me a little longer than I originally planned to get Deception back to LT3, but I'm still within the deadline. I'm not worried about getting it back to them in time, but I am worried that I spent too much time away from TCotWW. Six weeks out from the due date feels like plenty of time, but I still have a lot of editing to do, then I have to set the story aside to rest for a bit, and then I have to return to it and do another round of editing before I can even think about getting it formatted for submission. So now you see why I haven't been able to get any writing done this month. I want to get my story for LT3's Roughhouse Raiders call close to completed this month and see about finishing The Red Apple Witch so I can get that ready for LT3's Fairytales call. Nothing else on my to-do list has a due date, but that list is so long that I was hoping to start whittling it down this month. I guess I'll see what else I'm able to accomplish once all the edits I have to do are completed. 8/25/15
