I’ve been batting around what I’m going to do with Demoness for a while now, as I’m sure some of you know.
For those of you who don’t know, a quick history lesson.
I wrote Demoness in Spring 2017. At the time, it was the longest thing I’d written at 33,000 words. It was supposed to be a one-off, but by the time I’d finished it, I realized there was going to have to be more.
In 2018, when I made the switch to novel-length works, my first real full length title was Demoness II, and I could tell I was onto something.
For the next two years, I wrote three additional novels, three short stories, and a mini-series. But through it all, I couldn’t shake the unfortunate reality that while I had big, big plans for this series, it would ultimately be doomed to failure because a series is only as good as its first book. What good is writing a fucking kickass book six if no one read book one?
I tried to correct this by adding an extra 12,000 words to Demoness, but ultimately decided I would have to do a full reboot further down the line. Well…further down the line came and I got busier and busier and ultimately, as I approached 2025, I realized the sad reality was that I no longer cared enough to write a full-blown reboot. And so this is my solution.
I have collected every scrap written for this series, some four hundred thousand words, and put it all into a single collection. There isn’t anything new in here, save some updated formatting.
I hope this clears things up. The whole collection is in the KU and also 99 cents. I hope you enjoy!
