Mid-month Update (Sept 2019) (Patreon)

Hi all!

So I had a moment this morning where I thought back to two years ago. This page was only a couple of weeks old, and all I had on it was a few chapters of HFHM and a couple chapters of Iceman. I was actively working on the next HFHM chapter, couldn't even tell you what it was, but that was it. Write, publish, write some more.

Okay, fast forward to today, and here's what's going on right now.

1) I have officially started on the Lily/Dana spin-off. You will be seeing the first chapter near the end of this month.

2) The Last Arachne has gone through Developmental edits. After a re-write, it will go back for line editing. By then, I hope to be near the end of artwork for LA, which means I will be gearing up to publish it.

Depending on how successful the Light Novel format is for LA, I may try this for future side projects. I am all about long-term sustainability, and LA took more monetary investment than HFHM. Certainly hope it pays off, banking on that love of spider girls :P

3) I am nearing the re-release of Book One. New cover, new interior, same story.  I am just getting a few last-minute changes completed, and then will begin the process of getting the new version on the market.

4) I will have another image from Kat soon.

5) I got an idea for another spin-off down the road. That's all I have to say about that.

6) Going to start writing next HFHM chapter very soon.

I've always known that writers were busy people, but now I totally get just how much their lives get gobbled up by their craft. I try very hard to make time for myself and my family, but it gets difficult. If there's one thing I've appreciated, it's been how patient so many of you have been. I'm always excited to hear that you can't wait to read the next chapter, and I have only ever gotten a couple of snotty emails about how slow my releases are. It brings me tremendous joy to know that people are enjoying these stories, and I will keep working hard at it.

I will also try to be better about not spacing out in public. See #5 for today's example, and I can't tell you how many dinner conversations I have biffed because I'm all "so if X and Y are trying to accomplish Z, what if A, B and Q from two books ago..." in my head, and someone suddenly asks me "Hey, you okay?" because apparently, my Thinky Face is nearly identical to my I've been poisoned and can no longer react to external stimulus Face.

We have some big months coming up, so everybody get excited! I'm off to write some more succubus/zombie goodness.
