RAW VI
FANTASY SHARED UNIVERSE
Note about the Fantasy Shared Universe: I wrote about 25,000 new words worth of content in the form of short story follow-ups to WANDERLUST, LUST & ADVENTURE, & ADVENTUROUS. Also, Demoness is not in this collection, and exists only on my website as a free download. The reason for this being, again, that I intend to rewrite it in the future.
Now that we’ve got all that out of the way, let’s quickly discuss what’s upcoming in April.
As noted above, A Warm Place 4 Audio will go live April 11th.
Haven 6 Audio will go up for pre-order within the next week.
Raw V Audio will go up for pre-order very shortly after that.
I may be able to get Raw VII out before May, but I’m looking at early May for that release date.
I may also get Raw Collected II out.
I am aiming to get the rest of my Backlog Collections out, which I will talk about below.
Now, to discuss other and less certain things. I have news, and it is significant.
Firstly, I’ve finished considering what project I will tackle after Raw is finished, and I believe it will make people happy. I am going to do the rewrite of OUR OWN WAY. I’ve been working on it off and on over the past few months, and I’ve actually managed to get about 1/4 of it written in my spare time. If all goes according to plan, I intend to have at least the first novel written before finishing the Raw series and, if I’m lucky, I’ll have the first two written. That said, I am also making the novels longer. I intend to make future novels closer to 100,000 words on average. For reference, Raw novels are about 60,000 words on average. So over a third longer.
Second, the Backlog Collections. I’ve spent more time going over everything, and I have a clearer idea of how this will all shake out.
PARANORMAL: This one is what’s coming next. I already have the cover for it ready to go. It’s going to contain PARANORMAL PASSIONS, PINK, ROOMMATES WITH BENEFITS, & PARASEXUAL. So, nothing will be left out. The only one that’s going to get new content is Parasexual. In truth, none of the others have spoken to me. I’m going to try and get this one out soon.
POST-APOCALYPTIC: I…am waffling on this. I know it sounds insane, but the more I think about writing The Pale Redhead 4, the more I really, really want to turn it into, like, a full-blown trilogy rewrite. The cover art I got for the collection features Bianca and it’s just so cool. I don’t know. If I do anything with the series, though, it’d have to be a whole thing, and I wouldn’t want to roll it into the collection, I’d want to be its own original thing. So…I don’t know. If I do decide to go ahead with this, I’ll forgo the collection, since that would only leave it with Sex & Survival and A New World, and that’s not nearly enough to justify a collection. I’m going to give it more time.
SCI-FI VOL. 02: This will be the last one posted. Working on the cover art for it now. It’ll be Maureen from Like A Fine Wine, because she’s really hot. This collection will include BLIND DATE, LIKE A SEX TOY, DESIRE, & LIKE A FINE WINE. There will be a sequel to Like A Sex Toy, and an Epilogue short or novelette for Like A Fine Wine. And then that will be the last of the backlog collections.
Third, going back and writing new shorts for my old work has sort of reignited in me a love for doing so. I eventually stopped because I got burned out on it, but now I’m thinking I was stupid to stop. Plus, back then, when I wrote those shorts, I felt like they had to have certain things in each one, namely a sex scene, even if it didn’t call for it. But I don’t feel so constrained anymore. I feel like I can write the content a lot more naturally now, and that takes SO much of the pressure off and makes the process go a lot easier.
Consequently, I have decided to go back and write, at minimum, one short for each collection. Granted, it’s not much, but here’s a look at what I’m going with so far.
RAW COLLECTED I: I’m at least going to write a short set in between Raw II & III, and possibly tack on another one set between Raw III & IV.
RAW COLLECTED II: I’m going to write at least one short set between Raw IV & V, possibly two. Obviously I can’t write one between Raw V & VI, as VI picks up IMMEDIATELY after V. And the same will be true for VI -> VII.
MONSTER GIRL INN: I know some people are REALLY wanting to hear about this. Good news! I’m going to write not one but several shorts! Basically, I’m going to write a series of shorts set after the end of the trilogy, each one featuring a main character. I will be adding it into The Complete Trilogy. If you already bought it, you should be able to download an updated version for free. I’ll get it sorted out. Not sure how long this is gonna take to do, but ideally not more than a month or two.
HAVEN: Given I already wrote several for Haven, I want to just leave this one alone. I briefly considered writing something, maybe as a stand-alone, but then it’d feel weird not to have it be part of the main collection, and also I don’t want to give people the impression I’m writing a sequel to Haven or something.
A WARM PLACE: More or less the same here, HOWEVER, I have decided to write a follow-up novella to A Warm Place, taking place some time after the end of the series. I’ll be able to talk about it more later, but for now, I’ll say that there is one small plot thread that I never really wrapped up that I can with this. Plus, it’ll just be fun to write new A Warm Place material.
OUR OWN WAY: Given this is getting a rewrite, no bonus content here. However, the rewritten series will definitely feature bonus content.
And that’s it for the bonus content.
Finally, I’ll talk about the other projects I’ve started and sort of left by the wayside.
COUGAR HAREM: So this is not abandoned, but it is sidelined for the moment. Basically, how I want it to go is I need to get Raw and all my short bonus content written and out of the way and then, once that’s done and Our Own Way is safely launched, I will settle the Cougar Harem trilogy into action. I am FOR SURE doing this, to be clear. It’s just getting pushed back. I still feel really good about it. I got probably about 1/4 of the first one written already, and covers made for the first two, with the third in progress.
HORROR HAREM: This is also still going to happen, the underwater post-apocalyptic one. I’ve also made at least some progress writing it, and I have the cover art ready to go for it. It, too, got pushed back. It will take up the mantle of second spot once Cougar Harem trilogy is done.
OTHER: My sci-fi slice-of-life is also still happening, but has been pushed back further for obvious reasons. I love the idea too much. The only other thing I’ve really got to discuss is my incest fiction. I’ve had more and more people asking about this lately so I might end up editing and posting the mother/son stories I’ve written. As always, I’ve got other ideas coming and going, and a lot waiting in the wings, but for now my plate is FULL. Overflowing, really. The next few months are going to be spent furiously trying to whittle that down to something more manageable.
