I kinda dropped the ball in July. Sorry about that. Things got busier than I anticipated and I’m also still tangling with problems related to my meds. And that second one is still ongoing, unfortunately.
I’ll (try to) keep this short and simple.
What Came Out In July:
And…yeah, that’s how I dropped the ball. Obviously there was supposed to be a lot more there. So the first part of August is going to be me playing catchup. Here’s what you can expect.
PRIMAL LOVE: This one will be finished and released this month, barring some huge catastrophe. I’d say I’m 2/3 finished with it right now. I’m aiming for the first half of the month. Part of the issue with this one is that I’m finding myself having to adjust the plot, even though I thought it was pretty set. This is partially because I’m still adjusting to writing mono-romance and questioning the pacing, and another part of it is…shall we say, the desires of the RFM readership sometimes finds themselves at odds with the desires of the narrative.
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE | EPISODE 08: This one is out now.
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE | COLLECTION TWO: This one will go up for pre-order sometime next week and will drop the 15th. It will have two bonus short stories. Audio has begun recording.
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE | EPISODE 09: Will begun Early Access either late next week or early the week after that. I need some time to get caught up on other projects. Speaking of which…
AFTER DARK: I’ll get at least two of these written, probably both for Our Own Way.
PATREON SHORTS: I feel bad about this one. I’ll get a minimum of two pieces out for this one. I’ve begun writing basically a second epilogue to HAVEN, that picks up about a year later. It’s sort of a look at how everything’s working out.
DESPERATE LOVE - THE COMPLETE TRILOGY: This one should go up for pre-order sometime soon and should be launching on the 19th.
THE WOMAN WITH GLOWING EYES: As a remind, this is a short story I wrote as my first current Patreon reward. It’s unique, however, in the sense that it is a mono-romance and also a stand-alone. I intended to make it free last month, but I ran into some issues and found out I CAN’T make it free, because it’s ‘too sexual’. So instead I’m just going to host it on my website. I’ll probably publish it to Amazon now that I’ve taken the opportunity to get some simple cover art made. It’ll be out this month.
And that’s what I’ve got for projected releases and projects for this month. I think, once I finish Primal Love, I’ll probably not begin production on Our Own Way 6 until September. There are two reasons for this. The first is that I’d like an opportunity to maybe get ahead on some of the other side projects, and the second, more significant reason is that the more I write Primal Love, the more I feel like it requires at least one sequel. The primary question for this sequel ultimately depends on how well it does. The reason for this is because if it takes off and does REALLY well, then I need to jump on that IMMEDIATELY, or I’m wasting SOOOOO much momentum. If I don’t get a sequel out within at least six weeks, I’m killing the series that could be. That, unfortunately, is how Amazon works. All hail the mighty algorithm that kills books, series, and authors indiscriminately.
If Primal Love ends up just doing okay, then I can afford to take some more time. I still lament how badly I fumbled Raw.
Anyway, wish me luck.
