Owning Mistakes
Well, it's been a hot minute since I've written a blog post but that's mostly because I haven't really had much to say.
Lately I've been re-editing my last 3 books. Reviews, which I do read and appreciate, cited editing issues that had made it past the publishing process. Upon inspection there was a disconnect between myself and my new publishing company about how much editorial input the company should have. Many things I would have expected to be fixed were left in on the assumption that they were "stylistic" choices. I take responsibility for being too eager to publish and not taking the time to thoroughly triple and quadruple check.
Because of this oversight my books, although the stories are great, did not come out as strong as they should have. My readers deserve the best possible quality and so I have put my WIPs on hold to scour through my works and fix every mistake. Your emails and private messages alerting me to these errors have been invaluable and I can't thank you enough.
To that end, I finally have news! The updates to 6s and 7s and By Right of Conquest have been sent to the publisher who shares my concerns and is working hard to make the corrections and update the files across all media. A Girl Named Flower I am hard at work on and will be sent through asap.
Do not fear, however, The Kinky Destruction of Chantelle Sinclaire and Dom's Party (the next Brooke's Hollow book) are still in the works. I am not sure if I'll get either completed before 2020 but I will be damn sure that they will be of the highest quality when they are released.
Thank you all again for your kind words and patience with this process. Great, engaging and supportive readers make all the hard work and self-doubt of writing worth it and I am deeply grateful for each and every one of you.
