I have been working on my untitled coliseum story off and on for about a year now.  It's purely fantasy with a type of dragon character I haven't utilized before.  Writing it has been fun even though it hasn't been smooth sailing.  I am finally approaching the climax of the story where the hero must fight the bad guy and I realized I needed to come up with a title.  The problem is that the only potential titles I could think of were 'Dragon Sands' or 'Dragon Moons'.  Both would fit with the story and I'm leaning towards the former, however I realized that the title is far too similar to that of my Supernatural Consultant series.  Every single one of those titles are two words and start with 'Dragon'.  The last thing I want is for someone to spend money on what they think is the next Supernatural Consultant book, only to be greeted with a vast desert and a cave full of dragon eggs instead.  I don't know what to do.  Should I use 'Dragon Sands' anyway?  I could use your advice, so please let me know what you think! 

Speaking of Supernatural Consultant, despite not being on the short list I mentioned in my last post, book seven is the story I started working on.  I've added about .5k words, which was enough to set the next scene and build some drama for what's coming next.  Which brings me to my conundrum about this story as well.  I originally settled on 'Dragon Trick' for the tentative title because it fit with the rough outline in my head.  As the story continues to expand on paper, I'm realizing that 'Trick' is not the right fit after all.  In fact, I think I might be leaning towards resurrecting 'Spy', which was scrapped as the title for book six (Dragon Lesson).  Do you think if I started calling book seven 'Dragon Spy' I would confuse readers who associate that title with Dragon Lesson?

I'm so glad to hear everyone is enjoying Dragon Lesson!  All the reviews have been positive so far and it's really wonderful to know that the next book in the series is just as anticipated as the previous ones.  I'm still writing the next book, which will feature Nickel and Platinum again (and will probably have Lumie and Goldie popping in and out throughout) and will continue the new arc.  It's going to take a while before it's ready, especially considering how many other projects I have going at the moment, so until then feel free to check out all the other books in the series.

The next book I have coming out is Hadash Aviv, which is a reprint.  It was originally published as part of LT3's Kiss Me at Midnight collection and while in print was nominated for a Goodreads M/M Romance Member's Choice Award for Best Law Enforcement.  All the edits for the story have been completed and I can tell you not much has changed.  The edits fixed a few word choices and a couple of commas, but the overall content is the same.  If you own the previous printing, there is no reason to buy this one unless you want the new cover (which is awesome).  For those that haven't read Hadash Aviv before, the official release date is December 13, 2017.  It should be up for preorder at LT3 any day now. 

Kelpie Blue is the next story on my upcoming list.  I was given a release date of January 31, 2018, which coincided with my receiving the first round of edits.  The edits are not easy.  The editor wants a lot of big things tweaked, which will require multiple rounds of edits.  I've been working hard on them, but I'm not certain January is entirely doable.  I'll let you all know how it goes and whether LT3 decides to make any changes.
