March Update (2020) + Opinions needed from readers! (Patreon)

Hi all!

So what tom-fuckery is ol' Annabelle up to today?

1) Coronavirus. Why is an erotica author mentioning a virus? Well, short version: with everything kind of shut down, that means there is a lot more time at home, which should translate into more time to write...right?

Nope. With everybody in the Hawthorne house confined to quarters, it's become a little bit harder for me to work on, well, everything. We should still be good on writing schedule, but I am already fighting to sneak off to my computer and pound out some words, much less do any sort of editing or edit artwork.

Also, if I or anybody in my home gets sick, getting healthy will be number one priority (for obvious reasons), so I am washing my hands and avoiding licking strangers. I hope all of you can stay healthy as well!

2) Audiobook: Supposedly Amber is going to get me the rest of the chapters by month's end. Then it will be my job to have her do any corrections. However, if she gets sick, this will be delayed. So fingers crossed we may get a full release by end of next month!

3) Book Two. Radley's Labyrinth for Horny Monsters is currently being edited by Lyss, who also did edits on Last Arachne. She and I have already coordinated, and I plan to take some time off from work once the edits come in to power through her suggestions. Again, fingers crossed!

3) Last Arachne. Edits have been done, I just need to address the last couple of changes and then Lyss will triple check to make certain that no last second errors popped up. Then I just have to wait for Ais (the artist) to finish the other half of the drawings, and we will be set for magic time!

4) I am planning an update to the Hall of Caretakers, so please be on the lookout for that post! I am planning to do it early next week and it WILL HAVE A TIME LIMIT!

5) I asked a question earlier this month about merch. I would like some opinions on the following images:

Sorry about the watermarks, but this is a public post and apparently it's super common to have your designs stolen (and I would prefer my shit gets stolen after I post it first, easier to prove copyright which I officially own on these two pieces)

I am currently planning to use Redbubble. Their products are highly rated and this is something I can just set up and walk away from (to focus on writing). I am thinking of commissioning a set of Book One stickers (so Naia, Tink, Abella, etc) similar to the Death art posted above (why Death? because I really want to order my own Death mug). I am also thinking of doing the same with t-shirts similar to the Tink one, so would love to hear what you think of that.

Remember, I am trying to design merch that my readers  want, which is why I want to hear from you. I'm not going into a side business for huge profits, I just want to make my monster verse a little bit bigger is all (like, honestly...Death mug, Death water bottle, Death pillow so you can hug him!)

Okay all, that's it from me for now! Stay healthy, stay happy!
