Quick FYI (Patreon)

Clearing should now be reduced to $2.99 on Amazon, Google Play Books, and Barnes & Noble. All five of the ebooks will be available on all three platforms on April 15th. At that point, Amazon won't let me reduce the price any further, but B&N and Google Play will, so I may drop those to $1.99. I'm hoping that more people will try it, and get sucked into the rest of the series. (I have a Cunning Plan!)

Just a quick note that since Amazon decided to be jerks and pull Harrowing's ebook for no reason they ever chose to properly explain, I will never again put my books on Amazon alone. That means that due to the exclusivity clause in Kindle Unlimited, I can't put the books on KU, which, in turn, means that I get 35% (minus the download fee) in royalties per book on Amazon, and 70% (with no download fee) on B&N and Google Play. Which naturally means that I far prefer B&N and Google over Amazon, so if you recommend my books to anyone, please send them a B&N link, not an Amazon one.

Also, it's now six weeks from the last agent query I sent out about Grimalkin. While I still hope to find an agent someday (if only because I'm not gonna get TV or movie deals without them, and if you're gonna dream, dream big!) I don't think Grimalkin is going to be the winning book. Agents want dark and edgy right now (they have wishlists!), and Grimalkin is decidedly not that. I do have a book planned that may work better, so I'll try again when I get there.

So, if agents don't want Grimalkin, I'll DIY it. Ha! That means I'm going to be editing the book, and while it's not nearly as long as LF, it'll still take a week or so. Also, if any of you have any ideas about how I could improve it, or things I definitely shouldn't change, please let me know! I could really, really use some help! Don't worry, I'm still going to be working on Aria, so, um, wish me luck.

All of which leads me to this summer (as defined by public school in the US). I estimate Aria should be done sometime in May, and then I'm going to take a month 'off' (I'll still be working, but I won't produce much you can see) to edit, as well as getting everything set up for the three cons I've committed to in June, July, and August. Once I get all my ducks into something vaguely resembling a row, I'll be back! I'll probably pause the Patreon for a while (I think I can do that), so you won't be charged when I'm not actually writing.

Once all the books are edited, covers designed, and sent to the formatter, con merch is created (I'm making t-shirts, stickers, buttons, and patches!) and about a hundred other things are finished, I'll be back to writing! (The fun part!)

I do think I'm going to finish up the book of short stories and Zoey's novella before I move on to other projects, but once that's complete, I don't have any further plans for LF-related books. So, if you have any characters you'd like short stories about, SPEAK UP! Now is the time!!

Once the LF universe is tied up (hopefully in something more akin to a tidy bow than a messy bun), I think I'll move on to a story about a kobold and a dragon that's been loudly lurking in my brain. But we'll see!

Thank you all for supporting me and coming along while I try to figure out how to adult this thing. Have a great weekend!
