MAY 7TH
Things that got released in April:
A little bit of expansion on the ebook releases.
I wrote a 3,400 word bonus short for Raw I - III Collected, set in between Raw II & III. It’s basically fluff with Jak, Niri, and Rylee.
I wrote a 4,000 word bonus short for the new Raw Collection that takes place between Raw IV & V. It’s fluff with Jak & Nessa.
I wrote a single new short for the Paranormal Universe re-release. It’s about 8,200 words and it takes place after what was previously the end of Parasexual.
Now, here is what’s happening for May.
RAW VII: I had hoped to get this out before now, but I ran into some problems. Some real life problems kind of hit me out of nowhere. I’m all right, but it definitely threw me off track. I’m intending to have this out by, at the latest, May 7th, but I’m aiming for May 5th.
MONSTER GIRL INN BONUS SHORTS: I’ve written two of four of the bonus shorts I’ve thought up, and I’m making progress into the third. I’m hoping to also get this done and the collection updated this week.
SCI-FI SHARED UNIVERSE VOL. 02: I’m really intending to get this one done and out this month. Given I was really derailed last month, I didn’t get any real work done on it. But I’m still wanting to get it out with a new bonus short follow-up for Like A Sex Toy and a novelette epilogue for Like A Fine Wine.
That’s what I’ve got coming out in May. Now, to wrap it up, I’ll give some updates on things that are farther out.
RAW: I’ve been planning out the rest of the Raw series more in depth recently, and it’s occurred to me that we all might be better served by a large Raw VIII instead of a small Raw VIII & IX. I’ll need more time to decide for sure, I intend to just rest and let everything settle again for a bit once I finish up Raw VII, but we very well might see the end of the Raw series with a larger Raw VIII. In truth, I am a little eager to move on to Our Own Way, and I’m reluctant to leave Raw undone before fully turning my attention to that. I did something similar with A Warm Place and consequently A Warm Place 9 was fucking hell to write.
OUR OWN WAY: This ended up kind of derailed by all the other smaller projects that popped up and I’m looking forward to getting back to work on this. I’m extremely reluctant to put any kind of release date on it, but I think late July might not be impossible. I’m also going to be experimenting with pre-order for the first time ever with this. Super looking forward to it, I’ve gotten to the first sex scene between Gabe and Ellen and I have to say, I feel like it might be up there in terms of ‘best sex scenes I’ve written in my whole career’. Maybe I’m delusion, but it felt great and I’m looking forward to fleshing out their relationship even more.
COUGAR HAREM: Not much to say here. It’s still orbiting around my mind, but it’s gotta be put on hold. I’m thinking, given how close it is in tone to Our Own Way, I will likely push this back in the queue and work on my horror harem first.
HORROR HAREM: I still really fucking want to write this. More than ever, just recently. I’m not very far into it, but once everything gets settled and Raw is wrapped up, I’m going to try and make some real leaps and bounds progress on it. As I’ve said before, I’ve got the cover ready to go and I’m really looking forward to writing it and getting it out there. I want to know what people think of it.
BACKLOG: So I’ve decided that I’m going to do a rewrite of The Pale Redhead. Because of that, I do not have enough to constitute a Collection for my Post-Apocalyptic Shared Universe. So Sex & Survival is going to remain as a free download from this site and also for sale on Smashwords and other platforms. I’ll put the A New World novella that was previously a part of Misty Vixen Starter Pack up at some point, although I’m curious if anyone would even notice it was gone.
That’s about it. I’m going to take it a little easy this month. I’m trying to make some adjustments in my real life and although I feel like my mental health is a LOT more stable this year, it’s proven that it can sneak up on me and wreck my week if I’m not careful. So that’s about it. I’ll have a decision on the final Raw novels this time next month.
