Book and Life Updates

Upcoming Books Update

Hello all you lovely readers,

I am excited to finally say that Golon’s book, His Mate, is coming! I set a preorder date a few months ago because I work so much better on a deadline. I am through first edits and now I am working on one last run through and then I’ll be sending it out to my editor. Everything is on track for the January release date! Exciting! It’s a beast of a book so editing is a lengthy process.

On a related note, Amazon has decided to close down their Kindle Vella platform. I had been using this as a sneak peak of all my works for the last year or so which had been fairly successful. Since I had some dedicated readers who enjoyed the early release style of getting it as I write it, I am trialing a Ream account, where you can subscribe and get access to my early work. I release two chapters per week on the two projects I am focusing on right now.

Golon’s book, His Mate

and

My Bound by Obsession series, a dark romance four book series.

Included in the lowest tiered subscription is a free ebook of all my upcoming releases, about week before it goes live on retailers, along with some other perks.

Eventually, all my works will be uploaded on here if enough readers go for it to make it worth the time it takes to upload. I am giving it a few weeks to see if it becomes worth it but if it does, you can expect to see then entire Gelder Universe books on there which include the beginnings of Kowan’s, Arsenio’s, and Nix’s books all of which I have started since their books are all happening along the same timeline.

If you are waiting on Golon’s book, I have the beginning two chapters ready and available on Ream, with a schedule of Mondays and Wednesday updates. You can click here to join and start reading.

Other than that, I have had to cancel my release of my Christmas rom com book, and will be pushing back to next year, so sorry to those who were excited for it, but I had to make some hard choices and His Mate has been in the works for far too long to face another delay.

With the loss of Kindle Vella, I am also shifting some of those works into ebook faster than originally allowed to (Amazon has gotten rid of the waiting period) and I should have Blackmailed Marriage, a new dark romance book coming out later this month.

Crowned by Fate, a fated mates fae book that I wrote for Amazon’s writing contest earlier this year, is also ready for final edits. So you can keep your eye out for its release within the next few months.

Thank you all for reading! You mean the world to me.

Happy Reading!

Life and Book Update

So… I’m back! I have been writing. I swear. Quietly. In a corner. But I did disappear for a bit and there were reasons for that hiatus.

So the cute one of those reasons… I had a baby! And unfortunately the complications that I had with my first were not a one off thing (detailed in another Blog post) . It was a “going to be every pregnancy and escalate with each one” kinda thing.

Now I knew there was that risk, I was prepared for that. Or at least I thought I was. But there were some things I just didn’t know about, like permament organ damage, maybe not going to full term kinda things, and it turns out I was really, really, REALLY not prepared.

But, thanks to an outstanding doctor my second baby girl (and sadly most likely my last) was born earlier this year and we are both doing great now.

The trauma of my personal 2020 not to mention the massive elephant in the room we all know about that ALSO derailed 2020 means Golon’s book is way behind any schedule I once had. I currently have the story fully outlined and about half of the manuscript drafted. I am making progress but it’s still slow going.

This was just something to let you all know about the delay, and that I honestly don’t have a time frame. I refuse to just spit out words to finish the book, Golon and Marilee deserve better.

I have some ideas to help bridge the long wait between books but haven’t committed to anything yet. Giving some thought to creating a patreon and sharing what I have written as a sneak peak for subscribers along with a few other added bonuses and perks, such as being in the acknowledgements, having a say in the story development by telling me what you are hoping to see, etc. But not fully committed to that yet. Would depend on interest really.

Another idea is posting just the first chapter to the blog, similar to the sneak peaks given in each of the other books.

Or both.

If you have a preference let me know! I am currently posting more things on IG, FB, and Twitter but most of that is just day to day life and writing updates. No spoilers or anything juicy. And I’m notorious for spacing and abandoning social media for months once writing really gets going. But, I’m going to try to be forth coming.

That’s all I’ve got for you wonderful people, thank you for reading my words and as always Happy Reading!
