Thursday News Bites - Brandywine, A Short History and Soooon

1/25/2018

1 Comment

 
This is the year for getting back to things. (I've probably said that before.) The first thing on the agenda is Brandywine Investigations.

Some of you may remember that this started over at Amber Quill Press, with Hades and his initial story as part of a prompt bundle. The first story, Canines, Crosshairs and Corpses, was part of a "gods/demigods" bundle with various authors. The second was actually from a picture prompt from a Goodreads group - and No Enemy But Time took a darker turn. The third was from a "dragons" prompt - Dragons, Diamonds and Discord - Hermes story. They were initially separate stories.

The fourth story for Dionysus - Books, Bulls and Bacchanals - came out briefly and a couple months later, the publisher closed.

The first three stories were collected at Mischief Corner Books in the omnibus Brandywine Investigations: Open For Business, but poor Dionysus was sitting by himself with no story buddies to make a second omnibus.

I'd originally started out with Hades and his extended family in mind, but by the second book it became clear that sticking solely to Greek gods was silly. It's a big world out there. The stories revolve around Hades' family, yes, but by this fifth book, there were gods from all sorts of pantheons involved.

Tons of gods involved in this fifth story, Pack Up The Moon, which is what the second omnibus has been waiting for. Anyway... soon...

Brandywine Investigations: Family Matters releases February 28.

Thursday News Bites - Looming Stuff And Things

1/18/2018

You know, for not having a lot of hard deadlines this year, I've still managed to be ridiculously busy. What's going on right now? Let's see...
​

Brandywine Investigations: Family Matters
​release date February 28


Yes, the second omnibus has an official title, a blurb, should be going to the line editor this weekend, and the amazing Beckah Murray (of Magical Boy Basil - if you don't read this web comic, you should) has agreed to do the cover - yaaaay!

With his career firmly established and his reputation as a successful PI growing, Hades should have the perfect life with his human lover, his faithful ferryman, his dogs and the parts of his family still speaking to him. But murder and chaos are never far away for death lords as his nephew Dionysus and his oldest friend Charon are drawn into the maelstrom.

Includes:

Books, Bulls & Bacchanals: Brandywine Investigations #4
Midwinter Dancing: Brandywine Investigations #4.5
Pack Up The Moon: Brandywine Investigations #5

Please note: Books, Bulls & Bacchanals has been re-edited for this edition.
​
Finn: Endangered Fae 1

Some readers have expressed dismay that the Endangered Fae series is not currently available. Fear not! Finn will be back quite soon, going up for preorder at Price on April 10. The rest of Endangered Fae will follow this year. Look out for new covers. :)
​

Brimstone Journals, Volume 2

Just started work this week on organizing the Journals from 2017. These will go in a chronological anthology as the first year's did and I've promised (of course I have) MCB a proper short story for the back of the book as I did with the first volume.

Release date to come when I'm a little farther along with the project.

Thursday News Bites - It Appears to be Next Year: 2018 Preview

1/4/2018

Yes, I knew it was next year, but it always takes a bit to sink in. Here's where the definite things are right now - anything else is subject to change and oddities of whimsy:
  • Offbeat Crimes is complete for now. Books 1-6 available (All The World's An Undead Stage released on Tuesday!) and ready for your devouring. I've had a lot of questions about whether the officers of the 77th will be back, and I have to take a moment to say thank you, so incredibly much, for the reception they've had. I never imagined readers would embrace them so hard. For now, the story arc is finished as it stands. I may bring them back someday when another long arc occurs to me, but this year must be devoted to Other Things. All sorts of Offbeat Crimes info below if you need links.
  • Endangered Fae will be returning through Pride Publishing. No, I'm not adding or expanding, though there may be more to come in that series as well. I'll be adding the release dates to the calendar this week. (Which means I need a 2018 one - eek!)
  • Brandywine Investigations (the second omnibus that I have to name something): I should be tucking into the rather scary rewrites for Pack Up The Moon in the coming week. Once the process starts, I should be able to move quickly and have a release date from the publisher for you soon.
  • Lijun - the cat's out of the bag so to speak. Time to let you guys know about the New Project for this year. I'm working on a series with our squirrel, Freddy MacKay, which has been promised to Pride Publishing. We're at about 35K on the first story, Fireworks and Stolen Kisses, which is due to the publisher in March. A Paranormal Romance in three parts, a new universe, new characters, mayhem, cultural misunderstandings - all the fun things in life. ;) We do have penciled in release dates for those as well - three books - which I'll put on the calendar, too.
That's it so far! Not a crazy busy year yet - one I think is doable. But don't worry. I'll add more projects to make myself a little nuts before too long.
​
Offbeat Crimes - paranormal romance humor- 6 books - can be found at Pride Publishing and tons of other distributors. The first four books are available in omnibus editions (Volume 1 and 2) while books 5 and 6 are standalone paperbacks:
