Everything has changed
Time isn't what it used to be. I've been away from Goodreads for three years. Goodness!
Publishers kept putting out my stories and books, a combination of Literary and a variety of genres.
A publisher accepted a novel and then dropped the ball. Another publisher was interested in putting out a series. I wrote a series. Called the Agents of the Nevermind, Psychological Suspense Thrillers. They dropped the ball too. The books are about our current world. Time was of the wastin'.
I stopped sending manuscripts out and started Insubordinate Books, a new imprint of the publishing company with which I'd put out people's Literary chapbooks. I took matters into my own hands.
Glossolalia, the first book in the Psychological Suspense series, The Agents of the Nevermind, has garnered forty six reviews at this point, in spite of how Amazon has taken down surely twenty others at this point, for no reason I know of. It was published July 10 2016.
March 30, 2017, the second book came out -- Remember to Recycle. It also is received well, with a 4.8 average of twenty reviews on Amazon, a Recommended status (which happens around ten percent of the time with The US Review of Books) and a five star review from Publishers Daily Reviews. Both books could also be labeled Conspiracy Thrillers, Political Thrillers, and Suspense Thrillers.
I appreciate all the people who continue to publish my work, even though I haven't made public the last several stories published like I should have. After so many, I guess I finally got burned out. I drafted a book called How to Get Hundreds of Short Stories in Magazines and Anthologies. But though I teach short story writing regularly with UCLA Extension, Writing.com and elsewhere, and love reading my students' work, it was time to focus on the series for the time being, and come back to that later.
Probably before that one, I'll put out How to Write a Gothic Novel, a very thorough manual I'm finishing up now. It will accompany the next novel in the series. Every book has other categories as well it could go in besides Psychological Suspense.
Encore is Gothic. I'm revising it now. I extensively revise each book in the several book series before releasing it. Some of my published stories are Gothic, as is the novella, though it's very mentally challenging, convoluted metaphysical innovation.
The next one is more SF.
So, that's catching up anyone who happens to be interested in my progress from primarily experimental fiction gal to more traditionally plotted genre fiction. I made the required change of personality consciously, and was surprised how possible it was to do. Who knew?
