The Little Things

The Council has been updated! It is now available as an e-book. The updated paperback version will be available at the end of the weekend. As I began updated the older stories in the saga with the help of Grammarly, I realized some things about my writing. First, I love to write and tell the story. I want to get it done and make it available as soon as possible which is why so many titles have been published this year. Second, I am really petty about the things that make a story a good book.
I am not talking about content here. I'm speaking to the little things that are easy to ignore, but must really be included in paperback texts. I tried to get away without including the footers and headers in the short reads. I even went so far as to decide that if the stories were truly complete volumes of short reads then the headers and footers were not necessary in the complete volumes. The thing is that I hate the look of it.
With the E-book, none of that matters. There is an air of elegance to a physical book which I simply can't ignore. So I'm correcting that. The stories will remain essentially the same with perhaps a tiny bit of grammatical clean up, and the paperback versions will get the love and care they deserve with the addition of the headers and footers that I thought I could leave out, but simply can't. 
My author walk has been crazy and I have no doubt that it will always be a bit crazy so long as I am the one in charge. LOL. I have been enjoying the ride. 

Draoithe: Midnight Magic Part 7 is now available in ebook. The paperback is on its way. The short read miniseries is more than halfway finished on its journey to becoming volume 17 in the Draoithe series. In this part, Zephyra finds out how Julian was tainted and why he is so shy with her. Sometimes the truth matters far more than what one believes might matter about how others perceive a person. Readers get a glimpse of the way the other people at Draoithe see Julian as opposed to how he views himself. There is also a glimpse into the magic that Julian holds that he has no knowledge of. I hope everyone loves the addition of the rogue kings to Draoithe. If you get a chance to read this volume drop me a line and let me know what you think. 

The Website

I am always updating and adding crazy stuff to the website as well as the social media sites. If you haven't wandered around the site before, or if it's been a while, check it out. If you have only recently discovered the dream, I love visitors. I am real and I enjoy comments, questions, and suggestions. (Don't get angry if your suggestion doesn't fit the story. I am not in charge here. I just write the story that flows in the dream. But sometimes reader comments do mean I have to write more books. It has happened several times before with Dread Allies, Eyrie Iolair, and Draoithe's Synner and Sainte. There are a few that are about to be published due to reader commentary as well in the Lyons Gate series.) If you need a link to reach me, check out the ones below:

Shameless Self Promotion

I do give away the Prologue to A Pack Forms  Draoithe: The Thread as a FREE story for anyone to check out my story style and meet the main characters of the overall fantasy. No one wants to spend money on something they would not enjoy. The Thread is about an hour short read, so check it out. It's PG13, so no worries. The saga itself is definitely super hot and steamy with adult content. Forewarned is Forearmed. 
This story is currently in the works to be released in an audio format for YouTube soon! I never realized how much fun it would be to record the stories. Like everything else in my author walk, this too is entirely independent and that means it depends on my day job, but I think it might finally be available before Christmas. I finally got it! On to Merch again next. I will figure it out. Thanks for having faith and patience with my tech-challenged self.

I have some homework to do for that day job so I better run away. As always if you read, please be kind and leave your reviews. As an independent author, I will appreciate it immensely. 
Be Careful!
Happy reading,
