I tried again. Crash and burn. Laugh, it's okay. I did. Don't worry, I will try again. It was better this time, but not as I needed it to be. If you are going to offer a product to people that you have an expectation to earn money from, it must be a quality product, right? Right! So it's back to the drawing board. The good news is that unlike my attempts at merchandising, this is all more or less trial and error on my part. Once I figure out the equipment, I can run with it. With the merch, it requires more tech understanding than I possess. I need outside help, that is hard to find for free! LOL. Audio stories are coming in the future. I promise. More than likely they will hit YouTube first!

Facebook Group! The Dream Group it is slowly gaining momentum. I am excited about it. It is still a work in progress for me, but I hope that if you use Facebook, that you will consider joining in on the discussion there. I am uploading a few things there about the books that might interest those of you that have managed to read a few books into the series. So check it out.
If you are an Instagram user, I am glad you found me there. That account links to Facebook as well. Just click the link when you land at opheliakee69 and it will take you to the dream group! I love to hear from readers. Just like the short read Arctic Fox that is now live, you never know when a question or comment you might have about my books will spark the need for a new story!

I have to run, Duty calls. Project Publish is still rolling strong. The miniseries Tantalu should be finished by Tomorrow! As always, if you read, be kind and leave your reviews! 
Be careful!
Happy reading,

So maybe you need a good laugh. If you do, maybe you will find my misstep a bit amusing. I did the thing that a writer with a nomme de plume can't do. I accidentally tried to publish a book using my real name. Can you believe it? LOL, No bueno! I caught my mistake but not before I had sent the book to be reviewed. I am honestly surprised that in the last two years of independent publishing I had not made the mistake before. Needless to say Project Publish came to a screeching halt for the miniseries, A Pack Forms. I had to reach out to Amazon to correct the issue, and now of course I am waiting in limbo while they review the situation. The good thing here is that Amazon is really good about helping. The bad thing is that I am back in the waiting place. If you are not familiar with Dr. Seuss, please read 'Oh, The Places You Will Go'. Then the reference will make sense. For those who know me,patience with publishing is half the reason I chose to Indie publish. Considering my need at present to publish as much as possible, it could not have come at a worse time. Oh well. It is what it is. Thankfully it is fixable.

I suddenly found myself with free time on my hands as I could not push forward with my publishing plans. That gave me the incentive to record 8 scenes from The Thread. I think I can craft an audiobook. It might not be ACX worthy just yet, but that's okay. I am learning. I promise to post it on YouTube as soon as I get the imagery set up. If it works well, I will link it to the website and attempt to record other short reads. Cross your fingers. I wanted to publish as much as possible. So what if this time it's an audiobook on Youtube? I will take it as a win!

I am making progress on the publishing front even if there was a temporary set back. I got War Dogs set up as a ten part short read miniseries. I am only waiting on covers now to begin launching it. Tantalu is in the process of being re-released. The Council will be next! It is a daunting task, but if I have any hope for audio books of any kind, short reads is the solution. 
I have begun the practice of posting to stories so others can see some of my work, excerpts from the books, and I can hopefully reach more of my tribe. Let me know what you think if you regularly use Facebook or Instagram. 
I wanted to shout out to the readers in the UK. Thanks. That you guys are reading my stories is awesome to me. I must also shout out to whoever is reading in Germany. Today, was the first time that someone from Germany picked up one of my books. I was over the top thrilled. Kindle Unlimited is an amazing program that let's Indie Authors share their work with readers who want new and different goodreads. 

​I just must take advantage of this chance to promote my work. Dread Allies the series is currently still posting titles. The dream is colder and darker in the Netherworld, but the demon princes who call it home are happiest most at Eaglafonn. Find out how the magic calls to magic when the demons step onto the stage in the short read miniseries Dread Allies. The 14 title miniseries packs the stem into each short title. Demons are different. Find out why for only $.99 or read for FREE with Kindle Unlimited!

Thanks to all of you who root for me, read my stories, and give me feedback. Y'all matter to me. I have to run, but before I go please remember to be kind and leave reviews when you read. 
Be Careful!
Happy reading,

A sneak peek at the next new miniseries to be released... Draoithe: War Dogs
Preview He walked in the door after work. It was the last fucking place on earth that he wanted to be. He had stayed gone the rest of the weekend. The house he shared with Sruthan was a hateful reminder of his loss. If he had been a dragon, he would have burnt it to ash already. It was a little after four in the afternoon. Clove hung in the air faintly, but it was not old. It was fresh. Had Valerie been there? Why? He followed the smell. It led to Sruthan’s bedroom. Why? It was faint. It confused him. Nothing made sense or added up in his mind.He knocked at the door to his best friend’s bedroom in confusion. Sruthan answered it in a towel. His hair was still wet from the shower. Leo pushed past him into the room still hunting clove. He followed the elusive scent to the laundry hamper in Sruthan’s closet. Sruthan had been with Valerie? He turned back to look at his friend. Sruthan had been washing away the evidence of his betrayal. The light traced over him, and Leo shifted into his war dog. Two inch claws, three inch fangs, and two hundred and twenty pounds of the largest canine to ever walk on earth. Sruthan was on the floor looking into the eyes of his death snarling back at him a minute later. Why? After all the centuries, why? That pain crushed his broken heart. “My king, it is not what you think.” Sruthan wheezed as Leo’s claws pressed into his throat. It’s not? Really? Because I think you smell like my everything. The growl was low and menacing as the Druid mind-speak slammed into Sruthan’s mind. The dragon winced. Some days it was good to be the War Dog King. Then in that case, it is what you think. Nevermind. Sruthan did not try to deny the truth that the evidence revealed. What you need to tell me is, why? The snarl that echoed through the room was loud as it always had been in battle. Three hundred years of playing at being a businessman had not made him less of the war dog he really was.

In keeping with my new publishing plan, this title will be released as a short read miniseries. If I want to publish quickly, this is the route to take. I will try to publish it as fast as I can and I would hope that it will be complete by the end of May. If I can go faster than that, I will. There is another brand new miniseries waiting to be released immediately after War Dogs as well as a possible extra quick read series like Draoithe: Smoke of the Fire. I want to get started publishing Past in the Present as soon as I finish with War Dogs. So bear with me. I will try to get it all done. Time is running short for me though. Things will likely slow down after that as I must step out of the dream. I promise not to give up. I will finish the series. I promise, Peter Elliot will get what's coming to him! LOL.

I am still building the Instagram following. If y'all use Instagram, find me there. I could always use more followers, and I would love to connect with you there. You can see more information about the books there as I have begun adding things to my story.
If you enjoy Youtube, subscribe to my channel to get the latest videos, book trailers, storyboard previews, and audio readings. I am going to be posting more audio content as well as more videos soon.
I can't ever express often enough how humbled I am that y'all read my stories. Thank you! Please don't hesitate to ask me questions, leave comments, or even make suggestions. As an author, sometimes it's the random and the mundane that sparks the next idea for the stories of the dream.
I love to hear what you think of my stories! So please be kind and leave reviews. They help me get better as much as they help other readers choose quality books that they will enjoy reading. 
I have to get back to publishing.
Be careful!
Happy reading,
​Ophelia Kee!

​The trilogy Draoithe: Smoke of the Fire got a facelift and a complete volume has been posted to Amazon as well. If you have not met Fuego and Anaiz, check out their flaming romance now for only $1.97 for the whole story! As always, all of my stories are FREE with Kindle Unlimited! I have also always made all of my work shareable on Amazon. Please feel free to share my work with others who might be interested. The dream is only enhanced each time someone new steps into it.

Memes and Merch. These ideas  are still works in progress. I have not given up on any of it. It just takes a lot of time to get things set up and to work out the bugs. I had to put the merchandise on hold because the Printful integration with Weebly was nowhere near as smooth as I thought it would be. It worked well right up until I actually attempted to create an item for sale. Then it would never create a storefront even after I set up all the banking side of things. That turned out to be very frustrating. Weebly is so plug and play user friendly, but there is a huge disconnect between Weebly and the Printful app. It makes me sad that none of the tutorials available seemed to be up to date or able to resolve the issue. 
That dampened my enthusiasm for the quotes, one liners, and memes. Admit it though, lines like this from books are just awesome! 
Maybe I will discover another way that works. I just need it to be simple. I don't write computer code, nor do I understand 99% of the jargon, so I need applications that are actually simple, not just claim to be. LOL. 

Audiobooks in some form! The remodeling of a walkin closet into a recording studio has begun. Y'all cross your fingers. Now that I have got the books reduced to manageable parts, I think this could actually happen. I am going to try to read the short reads one page at a time and then string the recordings together as a giant edit, one scene at a time. I think my Corel program will work for it. It might not be high enough quality at first, but I will still try to post to YouTube if for no other reason than the amusement! 

I must be off. If you write, consider short reads! If you read, please be kind and leave your reviews. 
Be Careful!
Happy reading,

The Thread was the first story to get a brand new look and a rerelease. The Free PDF still has the old cover on it, but the new and improved version has been updated on Amazon. I also took a few moments to update the manuscript and send it through Grammarly for a better reading experience. Meet Luke and Eli before they meet one another.

​Weaver's Tale is going live as we speak with its brand new cover. I have also released a complete volume ebook which includes all four of the original short reads titles in one volume for only $2.99. It has also been sent through Grammarly for a more polished reading experience. Araack Kniid is a spider shifter from the Netherworld. He holds Eidolon magic and rules a small outpost kingdom in the Dorcha known as the Longest Purple, but for nearly a thousand years he has believed a lie. Can he overcome the betrayals of his past to finally live?

There are nine reasons that short reads are better than trying to publish full-length novels that I touched on in the last blog. But there is another reason why I personally want to publish the stories as short reads. It might be a more important reason not just to me, but also to many who need to hear books read rather than just read them.
See, I want to attempt recording the stories as audio reads. As an Independent Author, I would like to upload my recorded books as for sale audiobooks, but a novel is so long that it would be hundreds possibly thousands of hours of read time to get just the currently published works recorded. If they were shorter, it would be easier to manage with the programs I already own. No out of pocket expense and easier workload could make audiobooks a possible task.  
So while I am pushing Project Publish as Much as I Can, there are multiple reasons why. 

If you have not dropped into The Dream group on Facebook, make yourself known. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please bother me. I love to hear from readers. If you read, Please be kind and leave your review. I have to get back to my regular Sunday chores. The laundry is calling my name! 
Be Careful!

Eyrie Iolair: Prodigal Sons short read miniseries is now LIVE on Amazon. FREE with Kindle Unlimited! Montane MacGuire was a typical college student chasing his master’s degree in 2016 until he met Rory Highwell at the beginning of the spring semester. The eagle man is convinced that Monty is the foretold leader of the kings of a fabled kingdom from atop a mountain, and he has the evidence to back up his claims. When Monty has an accident while on a mission trip to Guatemala the truth of who he is and how he has lived most of his adult life comes to light. If he is going to help his friends and take his rightful place as the Lord of the Skies, his life will have to change drastically. Struggling to understand the prophecy surrounding him, protect his sister, save his friends, and claim his mate leads him on a series of adventures that almost puts him at odds with a far more powerful magic force affecting the dream until his life axiom of ‘Don’t Tell Mom’ finally saves the day for him and everyone he protects. (Sorry, I just had to plug my latest publication.

 As many of you know my ability to remain in the dream full time is rapidly coming to an end. Financially, it is a bit impossible to maintain my current level of immersion. My authorwalk has taken many twisting turns, and this is yet one more. But I made the decision to attempt to publish as many of my doc files finished stories as I can before the dream must become my part time escape once again. Having made that decision. it is important to inform my readers of how I intend to speed the process. Short reads! They are far easier to produce than full length novels. The stories are already written. So why not? My shorter stories like the duet book Still Waters were what gave me the idea. They were just hanging out in my docs files collecting the electronic dust and pestering the novels so I decided to put them to work by publishing them. 

Short reads do not need all the extra details that I feel must be included in a novel.
1)No table of contents required when the title was not going to have more than 6 or 7 scenes at the most.
Some might have only one or two long chapters, but with fewer pages this seems silly.
2)Easier to use online grammar tools to obtain a smoother reading experience. 
Grammarly is awesome, but past a few chapters it gets clunky and slows down dramatically.
3)No need to craft pagination and footers. Each title is only about 50 pages long.
This is really only necessary for paperback books as ebooks lack this feature, but paperbacks give ebooks legitimacy. So crafting it just got easier.
4)No need for a title page when a short intro will suffice. 
No one expects a title page with a short story unless it is a collection of stories.
5)Readers get straight to the story.
Full length novels have a certain appeal to them like no other style of writing, but if you want to be able to publish prolifically, then short reads are better. 
6)When the work has been out for a while, it won't be hard to combine as a single volume and market as such. The hard part like formatting and editing will have already been completed. (So the novel readers won't be disillusioned or disappointed.)
7) There is less competition in short read categories than in other categories, so authors have a better chance of getting their work noticed. 
8) The audience is different for short reads than for other works, so an author has more opportunity to market and promote their book to a wider readership by publishing that way first. 
9) Writing a short read series also aids in deleting the 'lull spots'. All stories have parts that are not as interesting no matter how important. Each part of a short read series would have at least one 'impact scene' aiding the reader in maintaining their interest in the story. (In short, writing short makes an author a better one!)

Sneak Peak at Eyrie Iolair: Sky Dreams
Jerrick 
The three of them arrived at the house in the Waco suburbs just before midnight. Risk had made it clear that there were hostages that needed to be handled with kid gloves. Nimravus was a word that had made them all agitated. The Druid kings of Leinster had dealt with the darkness by bringing the ‘little demons’ into existence. Little demons actually desired the dark appetites of their kings. The Druids in Connacht were worse. They had turned women as Caladrius and kept them as enslaved concubines that traded the darkness in their kings for a light that negated some of the negative effects of Netherworld magic on the man born touching it in the Leaindeail.Perhaps the twisted fools of Ulster had to be the worst. They twisted the soul of a woman together with a wildcat to create a werecat sex slave. The Nimravus. The Druid kings then tethered the women to them and leached the shadow magic from them to grant themselves immortality. Nimravus lacked the ability to turn other werecats as they were a strange hybrid of a human and a cat. But leaching their shadows damaged the minds of the women making them little more than vegetable grotesques. After being used by the kings for a period of years, they tended to fade leaving the Druid in need of a replacement. Arne had been unlucky enough to meet one once and had then studied the magic carefully. Had the Druids not siphoned the shadows from the werecat, she could have survived so long as she remained tethered to her magical host. Rune had wondered if the host had been immortal or held light magic if that would have balanced the shadows for the werecat and stabilized them considering that light magic tended to be attracted to dark magic, but the question had never been decided. Jerrick led the three-man team into the house shaking off his thoughts on werecats. They just needed to aid whoever they might find if it was possible. They moved through the first floor of a very neat well-kept house. Nothing looked out of place. There were no weapons, magical paraphernalia, or other clues to the possibility of sex slavery. Anyone visiting would never know. Rune was the one who located the basement door. It was locked. They looked for a key, but not finding it, Arne simply let the grey flames melt the catch away. When the door opened, the three walked down a set of stairs that emerged into a dark hallway. There were four doors. The first one was open and empty. It was set up as a bedroom with an ensuite. It looked rather ordinary until Rune opened the chest.  Inside instead of clothing, they found sex toys. The chest held a sadist’s wet dream of flails, whips, floggers, etc… Jerrick looked at the other dragons. “He was torturing them?” “Or turning them?” Rune asked from the bathroom. He carried a travel pet carrier out of the room. It held a very angry wildcat. “You best set it free outside,” Arne suggested. Rune carried the animal up the stairs and returned after a couple of minutes while he and Arne continued their investigation into the room. The cat was freed. Jerrick felt relieved. At least that one had not been mutilated. They found a book they had not wanted to find in the bedside table. Deanamh Nimravus, The Making of Nimravus, was the title of the slim handwritten text carefully embossed in the leather cover. Inside the pages had been carefully transcribed from the demon tongue into English. The process for how to change a woman into a werecat was explicitly detailed and included drawings. The dragons had seen one before. They had read and studied a similar volume centuries ago. It was not good. “He was going to make the princess into a sex slave and likely sell her like a prized possession.” Arne hissed the words. Before they could continue their expedition into the basement, the front door opened. The three of them stilled. Footsteps were heard above indicating that several people were entering the home. Rune turned out the lights and unscrewed the bulb to give them an advantage. They waited. Whoever these people were, they were trespassing into Iolair. It had been centuries since the three of them had served as true dragon knights of the realm, but they were once more oath sworn to a Ri ruirech. The house they were in, belonged to that king. These men would be turned as dragonsworn servants for a year for their crimes. Then they heard the words. “Max left it open just as he said. Have you made your choice?” It was a man’s voice. “The blonde. She will do.” Another voice answered. “I prefer the brunette with green eyes. I always liked green-eyed whores. They just look like mischief. It makes me want to punish her more.” Another voice was speaking. “Personally, I don’t care. The shadows are all that I really want. The rest is just a bonus.” Another man noted. The footsteps above were moving through the house toward the basement. Four men had entered the house. The dragons waited until they started down the stairs. “Why is it so damn dark?” The fourth man’s voice. “The bulb must have burned out in the hall. I will lead you to the rooms and then fix it,” the first man answered. The whole group passed the empty room that the dragons had stopped in. Jerrick gave the signal. Arne and Rune took the men unaware. Jerrick bit them all one by one. A year was not enough. They would serve for eternity for attempting to sell and purchase sex slaves on Iolair soil. It took only a few minutes. Rune switched the lights back on, and the three of them set to work mutilating the offensive parties, erasing their names, and turning them complete with oaths and the mark of the slave of the House of Iolair. It felt good to be a dragon. Rune texted Dustin about the additional dragonsworn as Jerrick finished with the last man. Five new servants in one night was a bit of a record. The Eyrie would put them to work soon enough. They left the four kneeling naked on the floor waiting for orders with the lights on. The dark would see them going into the night as nothing more than dust in the wind. Light dragons turned men as servants without magic, but like primitive vampires that feared the sun, dragonsworn servants crafted by light dragons feared the dark. Jerrick nodded to his brothers to move forward with their mission. They would deal with the servants later. Rune took one door. Arne opened another. Jerrick opened the last. It was worse than he expected. The wild cat’s body was dead fur and a skeleton. It looked out of sightless eyes as it lay on the floor of the cage. The clawed paw of one foot had been severed and used on the woman. The poor animal had served its purpose. Its soul had been merged with that of the woman’s. The black-haired woman chained to the bed stared back at him with the elliptical pupils of the cat. There was no question that the ritual was nearly complete. It was too far gone to be able to reverse any of the magic. She was thirsty. It had to be the third day. That was what the men had come for. Tethering happened on the third day. Knowing that she had been abused angered Jerrick. He wanted to burn things.  “Please, master?” Her words were a whisper that eased the anger away. She was beautiful and broken. He saw her fangs. She was dying. She needed to be tethered to her host, or she would have suffered the pain and torture for nothing. She begged him for help that she could not understand. Jerrick was a light dragon. But he was a free dragon. He had the right to claim a slave if he intended to claim her as treasure. Monty had told them all that they could claim their Valkyrie. He wanted to bleed for her. This woman would be his. Jerrick would fly as a mated bonded dragon. She would aid him. “Speak your name.” He demanded it of her. The light magic tickled his scales beneath his skin. The grey fire itched to dance with her shadows. Even broken and damaged, Jerrick desired the woman for himself. She had been made to be a sex slave for a Druid king, but Nimravus held shadows that drew the fire from light magic wielders. “Lexy Vanderkline. Please. I thirst.” She begged him again. The pleading lilt of her voice stroked the dragon’s need to give her what she wanted. The dragon did not deny its mate. The fire traced over his fingers as he reached out to touch her face. Her blue eyes closed as she leaned her face into his palm. She purred as her shadows danced with his fire. His magic felt good to her as hers felt to him. His cock hardened at the sound that vibrated into his heart. “Consent to be mine. I will claim you as my Valkyrie. You will be a slave to Jerrick Luisne, Dragon Knight serving the House of Iolair. Surrender yourself into my control. I will erase your thirst, and you will be mine.” “As you desire it. I consent. Please.” The blue eyes sought his gaze once more. Jerrick was lost. His arms encircled her, and he pulled her close. Her head nestled against his shoulder. “Bite me, and drink.” He whispered the words. Shadows and fire swirled around them both as her teeth sank into his throat. The euphoria negated the pain. The dragon longed to please its mate. She drank deep. Dragon blood was powerful. She would thirst no more. She was Nimravus. Like a leash, his fire was braided with her shadows connecting them together as she quenched her thirst from his vein. The magic tethered her to him forever chaining her to her master. Forever she would need to be near him, desire to be controlled by him, wish to taste her dragon. But Jerrick would take care of her. Jerrick was a light dragon. He breathed the grey flames of the Ainglean. He could not leech her shadows, only twist them into his fire and hold her close. He would feed her need. Her eyes closed, and she fell back against the pillow. Her marks at his throat felt good. He did nothing to erase her claim on him. The trickles of blood he left to dry on his skin. The light magic of the dragon seeking to heal its mate reached out to her, but it was too late to stop what had been done. The cat’s soul was bound into Lexy. His magic would let her rest, but she was a werecat. She was a wild treasure, and Jerrick would hoard her. He called two servants to him and ordered them to dress. One was ordered to turn on the lights of the house then secure all the doors and windows against intruders. The other he sent to prepare a room for his Valkyrie upstairs. Jerrick released her from the chains and gently lifted her. As he carried her up the stairs, he decided to have the one who had not cared what she looked like to serve her forever. But he would never see her face or touch her. He gave the commands and set the fool to serving his Valkyrie. Jerrick was hungry and found himself in the kitchen seeking food. The more magic he used, the more food he needed to eat. Max Robertson had been a canine shifter before Risk got a hold of him. Surely the man had food. Rune found a servant next. He too had marks at his throat. “Her name is Jade Leitner. She agreed. I wish to keep her.” Jerrick was not about to argue with Rune over that idea. So long as he got to keep Lexy, what his brother decided about Jade did not matter.When Arne stepped into the kitchen, he ordered the fourth servant to set the table. "Saffron Desmond has blonde hair and pale grey eyes. Mine, mine, all mine.” Arne grinned. Jerrick laughed with Rune. Arne had always dreamed that his Valkyrie looked that way. His wish seemed to have come true. Steak and shrimp along with french fries and rolls satisfied the appetites of the dragons while they waited for the women to sleep off the lingering effects of the magic. Jerrick called Dustin. “We are taking over the house in Waco,” Jerrick informed him. “Why?” Dustin asked confused. “There is a treasure beyond measure here. We intend to claim it. Risk was right. They were converted to Nimravus. It was the third day. The men responsible for instigating that were all immortal shifters. They now serve the Valkyrie. Max Robertson must have been on the hunt for his next victim. The place was set up to do this as an ongoing money-making endeavor. My guess is he conditioned them first. Then when he grew bored, he converted them and sold them off to the highest bidder.” Dustin laughed. “Only fools harm the treasure of dragons. I will explain the situation to Rory. Iolair rises gentlemen. Congratulations.” Dustin hung up. The mission to meet with the Phoenix in the four corners might need to be rescheduled. The dragons left the servants to keep watch and sought their own rest in the presence of everything.

To everyone who has been following my Independent Authorwalk, I want to say Thank you! I am so humbled that you would read my stories and enjoy an escape into the dream. If you are just barely stumbling over me, hang out on my site and check it out. You have found the dream! I hope you come to love it too!
I have been publishing backlogged stories for a few days now. I pushed the release dates for Dread Allies up two months and have gotten all 14 titles on Amazon. I am currently publishing the Eyrie Iolair short read miniseres. It will actually contain at least three different story lines with for sure one story that connects the miniseries book group back to the Draoithe Prequel: Tantalu and possibly even Synner and Sainte.

The Storyboard Preview for Precious Treasures has been released and is live on YouTube! I am stoked to be working on the upcoming book trailers and Storyboards for the next novel in the Draoithe series. War Dogs is really good. If you liked all the others, you will love this one too!
I know I am in a bit of a hurry, but I already know that production will significantly slow down once I am forced out of the dream and must rejoin the professional world. So I am trying to get as much accomplished as I can.
I am pushing forward with my plans to work on creating audio recordings of many of my stories. I have no time frame on that, but I have learned a lot about it. It is less daunting than I once believed.
​I am continuing my efforts to market and promote on social media. If you have not joined my Facebook group The Dream yet, head on over and add yourself to the circle. I can't wait to connect with you. I love to answer questions, hear your thoughts. Sometimes they are inspirational. 

I know I am always requesting reviews and hoping that my readers will be kind and leave them, but Amazon has been glitching out lately in that department. If you still want to leave a review for any of my work, drop me a line somewhere and I will add your thoughts to the editorial reviews on my author central page. It matters what readers think more than anyone imagines. Your experience with a story is valid and should be recognized. Leaving a review is the ink on the wall that proclaims "I was here, and I experienced ..." We all want that.

Here in Longview, we had terrible storms yesterday. It's time I got my yard picked up. Until I can get back to this, Thank You for reading my words. I hope that they may be of some benefit to you.
Be Careful!
Happy reading,
​Ophelia Kee

I am pushing forward with my ambitious project to get as much of my back list published as possible before I must step out of the dream. I have been successful in getting all of the Dread Allies short read miniseries uploaded to Amazon. The paperbacks are all live. The ebooks are all either published or pending pre-order. All titles in this series will remain at $.99 and are FREE with Kindle Unlimited. The timeline for their inevitable publishing release has been moved forward, and the entire series will finish before mid-May. The dream is darker and colder in the Netherworld. Dive in and meet the Demon princes of Eaglafonn.

​I have published the thirteenth full-length novel in the Draoithe series. Precious Treasures is live on Amazon and Free with Kindle Unlimited! Anger management takes on a whole new meaning with dragons. Find out what happens when Kindling and SIlver are forced to work together to repair the damage they have done as well as to complete the missions Luke sets them on.

The Storyboard Preview for Precious Treasures is on its way. I would love to have it published Tomorrow! Watch for it! Up next for publishing is Eyrie Iolair: Prodigal Son short read miniseries. It is an 8 part story that I would like to publish in its entirety. It has to go through one last edit and polish, but it could be available by the end of April. Also, I would love to get War Dogs out. The fourteenth novel in the Draoithe series is good. I can't wait to share that with you all. I would like to have it available by the first of May. Y'all cross your fingers and pray that I can get it all out. Once they lift the shelter in place rules, I do need to make some serious changes to my life. I love to write, but I also wish to continue my lifestyle. I need to get some work done.

Draoithe: Precious Treasures Book 13 is LIVE! I got it everyone. It took time and I pushed through, skipped the whole pre-order business and published the next book early! It likely is not necessarily good business sense to do this, but as I must step out of the dream soon, I feel it is best to try to get as much of my docs files unpublished titles published as soon as possible. So Book 13 is live. I have a whole lot left to learn in this business. I will eventually learn it! Until then though, what I love to do is write. What I have to do is pay my bills, keep my home, and live in reality. That means that I have to pause most of my efforts to promote temporarily and focus on just publishing. No one but me can read my docs files unless I publish, right?

I am currently working to get the entire Dread Allies series on Amazon. Each short read title will still be published and sold for only $.99, but I would like to have it all available to read by June rather than my original July date. The reason for that is because I have another short read miniseries that I would like to publish as well. When you write for years without knowing enough about publishing, you wind up with a lot of stories. LOL. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of my readers. I can never tell you enough how humbled i am that you would read my stories. It is still so very amazing to me that others like them and want to read them.

I don't have as much time as I once had. I will still try to blog as often as possible, but it will likely go back to once a week. The authorwalk continues only the dream is interrupted! If you read, please be kind and leave reviews. Other readers ad the authors you love will surely appreciate you!
Be Careful!
