News: Writing Continues

3/26/2017

  • I have begun writing book seven of my Supernatural Consultant series.  I'm almost finished with the prologue, which will connect this new story to the end of Dragon Spy as well as fully connect the new arc started in Spy with the hints I dropped in Dragon Deception and Dragon Dilemma.  Unfortunately, the prologue is the only part of the story I have planned out at the moment.  I'll need to return to planning the rest of the book once the prologue is completely written.  I haven't figured out a title for the book yet either.  What I do know is Nickel and Platinum will be the main characters.  There will still be considerable input from Lumie, but after what happens to him in Dragon Spy, Lumie needs a bit of a break.  Right now I'm expecting book eight to return to Lumie's point of view. 
     
  • You won't believe how many questions I've received about when the second half of Ge-Mi will be released.  It's almost as many as when readers have asked for more Tori or more Lumie.  The reception this story has gotten is amazing and has galvanized me into starting work on part two.  There is a lot of work to still do for this story, but putting together the overall plot and much of the research was done for part one.  I'm hoping that means writing part two will go faster, but I can't make any promises. 
     
  • Most of my writing time has been spent working on some of my fairy tales.  I am currently writing three different fairy tales and am hoping to rewrite a fourth.  If I combine those with my two fairy tale stories that recently went out of print, I feel like I could have a nice compilation.  There's still a ton to write, but I'm really enjoying putting these stories together so I hope to have some of them completed soon. 
     
  • I have been wracking my brain, trying to figure out what to do with Hadash Aviv.  For those of you who don't remember, Hadash Aviv was my cute little contemporary crime thriller that recently went out of print.  I absolutely adore this story and I want to get it reprinted, but it's too short.  LT3's (and most publishers) minimum word count for stories they'll accept is 10k, but Hadash Aviv is only 7k.  I've read through the story and I'm concerned that adding another 3k words will ruin the flow.  I could release it as a free story, but that isn't fair to the people that purchased a copy.  I thought about pretending it was a Beauty and the Beast inspired story so I could slip it into my fairy tales, but it's really not.  Hadash Aviv will unfortunately continue to sit on my computer until I can come up with a solution.

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: I'm So Excited!

  • Every year the Rainbow Awards gives out awards for the best LGBTQIA books of the year.  I'm unbelievably excited to announce that Supernatural Consultant Volume One received a runner's up position on Rainbow Awards Best Gay Paranormal Romance.  It was number seven:

  • To top off what has been a great evening, I have just seen the final version of the cover for Ge-Mi: Part One and it is probably my favorite cover ever.  I'm waiting to share it in it's own, special post, but it really is a ton of fun. 

  • I've been working on the copy edits of The Case of the Wandering Wolves as well.  There's a lot of little things to fix, but I can see the benefit to the story with each one I work through.  Wandering Wolves comes out January 11, so I need to finish these edits soon! 

  • Don't forget that Ner Li comes out in just one week!  You can still get it for a 15% discount at LT3 for a few more days.  You can also read an excerpt here: https://www.lessthanthreepress.com/excerpt-ner-li/
     
  • And, most exciting of all is the fact that I've been writing again!  I've added over 5k words to Dragon Spy (Lumie's first story) in the last few days.  It's now at 18k words, which is getting really close to my 30k goal.  I'm really hoping to finish writing it this month, so I can get it polished and submitted early next year.  Wish me luck!
