I have exciting updates to share with you!
(1) I have been hard at work on two fantasy novels, and, by some unplanned coincidence, I have finished them both at the same time, namely, right now. So, later this month, I will be publishing, not one, but two brand-new never-before-released novels! Look forward to them. One is a historical fantasy romance, and the other is an urban fantasy magical realism holiday novel.
(2) I had kept my books exclusive to Amazon, which gave me certain perks when selling on Amazon, but I have made the decision to "go wide." This will enable me to do something I have never done before: set some of my books' prices to permafree. So, later this month, tell your friends to take a look at my books, because some of them will be priced at free. Amazon sets a minimum price of 99 cents, but, if my understanding is correct, once my books are in Barnes & Noble and Apple iBookstore, those ones in those online stores I can set to free, and I plan to price some of them at free. We'll see how it goes.
(3) I have done a rewrite of my novel The Crystal of Light. It was already averaging 4 stars on Goodreads, so readers thought it was an above-average novel, but the one bad thing reviews said about it is that it starts too slowly, so I changed the way the opening unfolds to try to start the action sooner and to try to help the reader see how the early chapters relate to the later story. My hope is the new edition will average 5 stars on Goodreads. The Crystal of Light is one of the books I am planning to permafree later this month: I feel that it is a good entry point into my fiction for readers unfamiliar with my novels, because it is probably my best novel. So, look forward to reading it for free later in 2025.
(4) In sad news, I had to unpublish my book Lord of the Right, which I had published in January of this year. Lord of the Right was basically an analysis of Donald Trump, and Trump has behaved far differently than I had expected in his second term, rendering a lot of my analysis in need of revision. I am the type of person who admits when he was wrong, so I have unpublished it, pending a much-needed rewrite of it to account for Trump's behavior during his second term. If, or when, I get around to doing the rewrite, I will then republish it.
