August is finally here and I welcome it with open arms. July was a pretty intense month of finishing multiple book projects, commissions, and approving all sorts of fun things for the upcoming release of Petrichor. I hope you all have been keeping an eye on my facebook and tumblr because let me tell you, it's a stupidly beautiful cover.

On that note, I've just sent off for the first proof of Petrichor to begin reviewing things like cover color (did you guys know Amazon loves to print my books extra dark?), interior layout, content and formatting errors, and a the physical proof reading stage. It means a lot of work for me but also that we're all getting so much closer to publication! Mark your calendars for the release on September 22, because you're all in for a hell of a ride.

In other Tempest Series news, I've finished my preliminary chapter notes for the next book in the series. Apricity is a prequel that takes place right as the first Milesians begin coming to Ireland, and it takes us through the story of Aisling, the first Seelie Queen, as she struggles to protect her Court against a foe she is unwilling to fight. You'll get to see the history of the Courts be made as well as learn more about Aisling, Avenir, and a young, brash Ruari, General of the Queen's army. I'm incredibly excited to begin working on this in the coming weeks (as is my artist, Ambi Sun. Aisling is her ultimate favorite character). Release on this book is unknown, but definitely expect it early next year.

I've also got good news for those of you who enjoy erotica titles! I've finished my other book project (yes, I had two of them going on at once, I'm an idiot, I know), Epithymy, and I've begun work on revising and editing it into something I can bear sharing with you all. It's a drow/human polyamorous S&M styled book, so lovers of fantasy should be exceedingly happy with what I've created. I think its a really good time and I'm incredibly excited to be working on this book not with my usual partner, Ambi Sun, but with my paramour, who happens to be another artist of considerable talent. More news and sneak previews will happen later, so do try to keep an eye on my main blogs and pages for that.

I think that's about it for updates. I hope that July was as productive for all of you as it was for me! Can't wait to see what all I get done for this month too. Until next time~
