News and updates

Well, it has been a crazy week, but what week isn’t crazy with my life? I did a lot of thinking this week-and not all of it was about how word problems are tools of the devil. As many of you know, I have some health issues. I am doing MOSTLY what I am supposed to do. There is one aspect I have never been good at: cutting back at work. I need to do that without teaching the youngest, but with that added in, I need to make sure I don’t overdo it. That means looking at the schedule and coming to some hard realizations. One is that for right now, I can’t do new releases once a month. It just isn’t possible. I am also going to hold off on the new series, Savannah Heat, until next year. It is something I really wanted to start now and have a HUGE ad in RT next month too, but I just can’t. I also have a few rereleases that will be coming out in the next few months. I will have a post later on about that.  So, with that in mind, here is the new schedule of releases:

A LITTLE HARMLESS FANTASY– NOVEMBER 30th

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CRAVING-FEB 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RELENTLESS – MARCH 29

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A LITTLE HARMLESS RIDE-JUNE 14

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ANGUS-AUGUST 9th

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now I know some people are not going to be happy with me pushing back Angus a bit. One reason is that I need to make sure that Craving and Relentless are linked. The beginning of the latter starts in the epilogue of the former. So, I think some people will not be happy with me if I push it back until next fall lol.

There is another thing I am worried about. I CAN write these books and have them out once a month but they will suck. Okay, not all of them would, but it would make me rush. I don’t want to do that. I want to continue my quality work and work harder to make them even better. I have been talking to the ADDICTS about how ALH Fantasy will be between 75000-90000. To compare, A Little Harmless Fascination was 63000. And I think it will be in the 80K area. So it will be quite a bit longer. I will also look at expanding the military books by about 10-20K more, expanding on the stories more:)

The Cursed Clan and By Blood are labors of love. I love to work on all my books, but these are books I write just cuz I want to. So they will take a back seat to Harmless for awhile.

All of these are subject to change, of course. I will be posting the release dates for the bundles soon too! I hope that everyone understands that I had to do this. I want to make sure the quality stays high and that I don’t end up in the hospital.
