If you have been wondering where I’ve been for the past few months, or why I haven’t been publishing new Beings books, well, that’s a long story we won’t get into today. Just know that I have been working feverishly on new stuff to prepare it for release while also rereleasing lots of old titles. It’s been a stressful, tense year so far and while the stress isn’t going anywhere yet, the tension, at least, should be over.
In the upcoming months, I should be releasing Taji From the Beyond the Stars as well as a small, light sci fi f/f novella (as yet unnamed). I will also be returning to the Being(s) at last. (I have been working on them, but nothing ready to be published yet.) At the same time, I’ll be rereleasing all of my old titles as quickly as I can. I’ve been working on that already, as you might have noticed with Wicklow’s Odyssey and Let There Be Light out with new covers. That will continue until everything is up, including tiny short stories like Butterbean and the Pretty Princess Make a Home and Winner Takes It All, that were previously part of anthologies.
In addition to all of that (yikes), I am going to set up a newsletter. It will feature news about what I’m up to (obviously), maybe some snippets of WIPs, and hopefully fun stuff on occasion. It will also give info about ARCs for book reviewer sites and blogs.
I am already exhausted, but the end result should be worth it. I meant to redo the site this year, but oh well, that will have to wait.
You might also notice that while certain stories are waiting for rerelease, they will no longer be available for sale. Please be patient about that, and remember that there are a lot of authors right now rereleasing books because of publishing houses closing and other issues, and when they get their books back out, they will LOVE it if you take all that pent-up frustration and use it to give their rereleases some hype and adoration. (Dead serious: if an author you like rereleases something and posts about it, retweet them! Talk about it! Rereleases essentially have to start from scratch in the reviews and sales department.)
Things might get a bit hectic for a while. I am, after all, a one-woman operation here, but bear with me and eventually, we will get back to when I just get to write stories and not deal with all this other stuff so much.
Thank you!
