THE CHANGELIST
So, I had a bit of a revelation last month.
In short, it was this: Not putting collections in the Kindle Unlimited is stupid, and I should fix that immediately. The result of this was a SHITLOAD of changes that needed to be made, as it made the Quickies unnecessary, which caused many, many problems. I spent most of the middle of October making all these changes. For those who are interested, here is a COMPLETE LIST (I hope, I really hope I haven’t forgotten anything) of all the changes that have been made.
THE QUICKIES ARE GONE. eBook & paperbacks have been removed.
MOST OF THE COLLECTIONS ARE NOW IN THE KINDLE UNLIMITED.
HELLCATS & DESIRE are NOT in the KU because the first books are current FREE as part of an experiment. Pending the results of the experiment, I will likely end up just putting them back into the KU, and then enroll the complete series of both into the KU.
PARASEXUAL 1 - 3 COLLECTED & PARASEXUAL 4 - EPILOGUE COLLECTED HAVE BEEN DELETED. They have been replaced with PARASEXUAL - THE COMPLETE SERIES. This collects EVERYTHING related to Parasexual and is in the KU.
PARASEXUAL - EPILOGUE NOW HAS A PAPERBACK. In order to continue ensuring everything possible is available in paperback, this paperback also includes STRAITLACED, AN UNEXPECTED PLEASURE, & BLUE LIGHTNING.
HAVEN 1 - 3 COLLECTED & HAVEN 4 - 6 COLLECTED HAVE BEEN DELETED. Now, HAVEN - THE COMPLETE SERIES is a thing. It contains EVERYTHING related to Haven.
Again, in order to maintain paperback cohesion, some short stories have been rolled into paperbacks. HAVEN 2 PAPERBACK NOW CONTAINS A GREAT DAY & HAVEN 5 PAPERBACK NOW CONTAINS ONE TO REMEMBER & HAVEN - EPILOGUE PAPERBACK CONTAINS JUST RELAX.
Some of the bonus short stories were either follow-ups to stand-alone titles or only tangentially related to a series, meaning they could not be added to any Kindle Collection. As a result, MANY OF THEM HAVE BEEN ADDED TO THE WEBSITE IN THE FORM OF BLOG POSTS AS FREE CONTENT. HERE IS A LIST:
FANTASY COME TRUE, BACK FOR MORE, PREGNANT IS HOT, & MATURE, MARRIED, & LOOKING have all been added to Hellcats - The Complete Trilogy, both eBook & paperback.
SCALES & FUR has been absorbed by the first Wanderlust novel, as it’s more or less an epilogue anyway. The eBook & paperback versions of Wanderlust + Wanderlust - The Complete Series now reflect this.
REUNION & THE QUEEN’S SECRET have been added to Wanderlust - The Complete Series, both eBook & paperback.
ANGELIC has been added to Paranormal Passions - The Complete Trilogy, both the eBook & paperback.
PARASEXUAL 2 EPILOGUE is now exactly that, added into Parasexual 2.
DOUBLE THE FUN is now just the Epilogue for Lust & Adventure.
THE WOMAN IN THE OCEAN is now just part of Chapter II in Lust & Adventure III.
SPECIAL FRIENDS has been added onto Lust & Adventure - The Complete Trilogy.
MISTY VIXEN COLLECTED NOW HAS NEW (BETTER) COVER ART AND IS ROUGHLY TRIPLED IN LENGTH AS IT NOW INCLUDES EVERY SINGLE WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE. (With the exception of Kyra’s Game, obviously.)
BLIND DATE 2 HAS BEEN WRITTEN AND ADDED AS A WEBSITE EXLCUSIVE.
THE PALE REDHEAD 2 HAS BEEN WRITTEN AND ADDED AS A WEBSITE EXCLUSIVE.
I AM NOT COMMITTING TO WRITING NEW CONTENT RELATED TO EVERYTHING ANY LONGER. Although I got through a lot of stuff writing the first four Quickies, I have to be honest and say that writing those shorts was surprisingly draining. And also seemed to have little return. That’s why when I made the decision I decided to at least commit to writing Blind Date 2 and The Pale Redhead 2 as well. (I like that one enough that I might write a novel in its vein someday.)
So I think that’s everything, but this really fried my brain, so I could have missed something. I spent a long, long week implementing all these little updates and fixing any errors I found and then going through and sweeping up any OTHER errors I made in the process of doing all this, but even still I’m sure I missed something. The long and short of it is that now, everything I have to offer is either freely available, available through the Kindle Unlimited, or available in paperback (with the exception of some random stuff like Valkyries or Kyra’s game). If you have any questions, please let me know.
NOVEMBER NEWS
First let’s get October stuff out of the way. There isn’t enough leftover to make its own section so we’ll deal with it right here.
Haven - Epilogue is out! (eBook | Paperback) The paperback includes a new bonus short that takes place between Haven 8 & Epilogue.
And that’s that. I finished Haven. Finally! I know some people wanted it to keep going and I sure could’ve, but it was time to lay it to rest. Don’t worry, though. You haven’t heard from the Marauders for the last time, and the situation in my Post-Apocalyptic Universe is only going to get worse as times goes on. Stalkers and rippers and vipers are only the beginning. But that’s for later.
So given that all my short story loose ends are tied up and Quickies aren’t a thing anymore, what’s going to happen now?
LIKE A FINE WINE 3 is going to come out this month. I have the cover art for the it and I should definitely be able to get it out before the end of the month.
LIKE A FINE WINE 4 will almost certainly come out before the end of 2020. The cover art is presently in progress, which means that as soon as 3 gets done, I’ll immediately get going with 4. Due to how I have shifted my perspective, there won’t be a Like A Fine Wine Collection #1, just a Complete Series at the end. In fact, it will be the first series I’ll have written (as Misty Vixen) with zero bonus content for the Complete Collection version.
So what about parts 5 & 6? It depends entirely on my cover artist. Basically, she’s super busy, and again, I don’t want to change cover artists. But even if the stars align, even if I got all the cover art and worked my ass off, I seriously doubt I’ll manage to wrap up this series before 2021. So basically, I’ll feel the situation out and see where we are as I begin wrapping up part 4. What will likely happen is I’ll have to put the series on hold and wrap it up later in 2021 as time allows my cover artist to make the covers.
Now, what about A WARM PLACE? Well, I have finally decided to commit to it, and by that I mean commit to a release date. PRELUDE is already written, edited, formatted, and covered. It’s ready to go. Theoretically I could launch it right now. Instead, I have decided to wait until December 15th. That is when it will go live. I want it out to build a bit of hype for the main event. A WARM PLACE will launch January 1st, 2021. If at all possible, I would like to launch a new A Warm Place the first of each month. I don’t know how well this will go. At present, A Warm Place 1 has its cover and is probably about 80% done. I fully intend to finish it this month. Ideally within the next week, at which point I will launch directly into A Warm Place 2. I have already begun the commission for its cover. Basically, as of right now, my number one focus is A Warm Place.
Finally, the serial fiction. As of right now, I am still waffling. For a little bit there, I thought I was for sure on this. But now I’m wondering if it’s not a good idea. Would it be overloading myself? Would me, and my work, suffer from the extra work? What about other projects I should be getting to? There’s only so much time in the day. For now, I’m going to continue thinking on it. We’ll see how I feel after finishing Like A Fine Wine. Maybe I’ll decide the time has come for Demoness VI? Or maybe it’s time to finally get some more incest fiction written? I don’t know. It’s a tough call. Right now, the best course of action appears to be a test-run. I write one series and see what that’s like. Although one series is a lot of work. Like I said, tough call. We’ll see where I’m at after Like A Fine Wine.
So that’s all the news I got.
