Hello, friends! Today I’m posting with a great sense of excitement. I have received the first proof copy of my Fae-Cursed book two. We’re not quite to the title reveal and I don’t have my official cover, buuuut I thought it would be fun to share my back-of-book. It’s a great feeling to hold this proof in my hands as it will be my sixth self-published title. Also because there are several people out there who are quite excited about this release. There’s literally no better feeling than that.
I’ve actually tweaked the back content slightly since the proof was printed. Tell me what you think:
Twin brothers, Lucky and Chance, have a crew who knows their secret for the first time in their long, cursed lives. They also have something else. Formerly-latent magic has begun to awake within them and the Otherworld has taken notice. Not only the Otherworld, but forces that lie beyond the Fae and their laws of hospitality.
With an approaching war between major Courts looming above them, Lucky, Chance, Johnny, and Becka find themselves tangled in a web of history, intrigue, and fate. A new and mysterious Fae in their lives is at the heart of it, but why? In the way of webs, it all seems connected, yet the crew is left to figure out how and why they seem to be so important.
Now, there is still work to be done on my end for this release. I still have to format the ebook and actually go through the proof copy, but with a bit of time budgeting that won’t be hard to achieve on time. The cover is still a go for July. Since I had to put a release date into KDP in order to set the book up on Amazon, I can now say look for this book to drop on August 16th. I’m feeling pretty antsy to start sharing content so it’s likely I’ll at least reveal the title fairly soon, since there are no rules and I can do what I want to.
In other news, my workout time this morning revealed some book three details to me that had previously been floating around in the ether. I had originally planned on wrapping up this story in two books. I swear I tried, but the boys weren’t having it. I had no clue what I could possibly write into book three until this morning. So that’s encouraging and exciting. I’m not writing it, yet, because the boys aren’t actually talking and I’m still focused on my editing job, but the ideas are coalescing. I do have a feeling it won’t be long before Lucky grabs the mic.
Actually, all of my characters have been suspiciously quiet since they all decided we’d start new books at the same time. May was a busy month for me in real life, so the writing break hasn’t been a bad thing. Hopefully June will be a little quieter as far as that goes. While I’m at it, happy Pride to those who celebrate.
In other news, we’re getting closer to dropping another art piece into Sevina Gate novella one. Derrick has worked hard on it so far and it’s looking awesome. We are confirmed vendors for the Page & Pen Festival on October 4th at the Oviedo Mall, and we’ve made that our deadline goal to have the novella completed and ready to sell. If you’re a Floridian, you can see us there from 11am – 6pm. Yet another thing to be excited about.
I think that’s all for now. As always, check back for updates and news. Happy Saturday, friends!
