Coming Soon and Writing Again

In case you missed it from my last post, Ground of Resurrection has a release date.  It comes out on July 17th.  I admit, I didn't expect it to come out until August or even September, but I can't complain.  I spoke with LT3 about the date being so close and they explained that it was decided the story didn't need a second round of edits.  It's with the copy editor right now instead, which means I should be seeing those pop up in my inbox any day now.  It also means July 17th is a very doable release date. 

Ground of Resurrection is available for pre-order from LT3 for a big discount.  LT3 is holding a Pride sale, so you can get all of my books for 20% off, and pre-orders are 32% off.  Resurrection is also up on Goodreads if you want to add it to your to-read list. 

In other news, I've been writing again.  The women's soccer world cup is going on right now and I've been watching as many games as possible.  I got a good idea of how to continue the story with the working title "Soccer Story" and have added about 2k words over the last week.  It's a contemporary story, which I don't write often, but I love soccer and have been hoping to work on this story.  If I'm able to get it completed in the next month or two, and if LT3 accepts it, it's possible it might be released to coincide with the summer Olympics, which would be really cool.

Today only, Magnified is .99 cents at LT3.  If you haven't read it yet, this is a great chance to get a copy: https://lessthanthreepress.com/books...  Magnified is a vampire story and is probably the closest I'll ever come to writing horror, and is one of my favorite stories that I've written.  I think you'll like it too. 

Ground of Resurrection was accepted for publishing by LT3!  I'm really excited and I honestly hope this is a sign that I will be able to get back on track.  I'm still waiting for word on If A Butterfly Don't Fly and The Coup and the Prince, but having this small success is definitely helping me get my confidence back.  I'm hoping this week will therefore be a good one for writing.  I am soooo close to finishing writing Ge-Mi: Part Two; with a couple days of focused effort I just might be able to do it.  Wish me luck!

Ground of Insurrection, the prequel to Resurrection, is available to vote for at the M/M Romance Awards on Goodreads.  I'm trying not to spam your inboxes with this, but I'm still so stoked about being nominated and I really want Insurrection to do well.  I have recently learned you have to be a member of the group to vote, so if you are a member please consider Insurrection as your choice!  You can vote here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/181365-best-fantasy-you-must-click-on-the-book-you-would-like-to-vote

LT3 has confirmed receipt of Wounded Alpha, so it continues to be a game of patience on my part.  I have to wait for the call to close and for LT3 to go through all the submissions before I'll hear, but the story was so interesting to write and I just want to know now.  I can be patient, I promise, but it's definitely something I'm super excited about.  Until then, it's back to writing!

News: Audio Books and Sales

  • Coming Soon: The first three books in my Supernatural Consultant series--Dragon Consultant, Dragon Deception, and Dragon Dilemma--will be arriving in audio book this month.  I don't have an exact date, but I will definitely let you know as soon as I learn it.  The audio books for my Dragon's Hoard series were a big hit and I'm really hoping you'll enjoy Supernatural Consultant just as much.  And, yes, for those who are worried, the next books in the series will also become audiobooks, but it probably won't be until after Dragon Home is published. 

  • Ner Li is coming out in just a few days.  Thanks to LT3's huge holiday sale, you can get it for 28% off if you buy before December 14th.  The Case of the Wandering Wolves is also 28% off until the end of the holiday sale.  Plus, every single one of my books in LT3's catalogue is also on sale for 15% off.  This is a great opportunity to stock up.

News: What's Going On

  • There's so much going on this month.  The biggest thing is LT3's massive Spectrum 25% off sale celebrating all aspects of LGBTQA.  All of my books will be on sale during "G" week, October 7 - October 13.  The anthologies I've contributed to will be on sale intermittently and The Oracle's Flame will also be on sale from October 28 - November 3 for the Poly week.  For more information follow this link: http://www.lessthanthreepress.com...celebrate...

  • The Oracle's Flame has been honored as one of LT3's Editor's Picks for October.  It will be available for 15% off at the LT3 checkout with code 26500e for the entire month.  When Flame is also on sale during the Spectrum event, that 15% will be in addition to the 25% off sale, so plan accordingly. 

  • I've also gotten a lot done in my writing.  I finally finished going through the beta reader's recommendations for The Case of the Wandering Wolves and I'm pleased with the result.  I need to read through the story one more time before I set it aside for two weeks.  I'll pick it up for a final edit and to format for submission at the end of the month. 

  • Dragon Spy is going amazingly well.  I need to finish writing Dragon Soldier (the previous book in the series), which will bring the first arc of the story to a close, but instead have been focusing on getting Spy and the new arc started.  It's a little confounding to be skipping around the series like this, but I'm having so much fun with Spy that I can't help it.  Since Dragon Consultant, book one, isn't coming out until December 9th, I'm not worried about playing around outside the official timeline; there's still plenty of time before Soldier needs to be submitted. 

  • I was having some difficulties with the fact that there are almost ten years between the end of Soldier and the beginning of Spy.  It's a big jump that has to happen for the arcs to work out properly, but I hate having that much dead space.  I've come up with a cute short story tentatively titled Dragon Adventure to fill that missing time.  I think it will end up being anywhere from 5k to 15k words and should hopefully help bridge the time jump.  Of course, the last time I said this, Dragon Deception grew from a cute short to a full sized story, so no promises on how this will actually work out.
