If you received my newsletter at the beginning of the month, you'll know that I was supposed to release a new Blackhaven Manor book last week. And if you read my previous post, you'll know I'm a hot mess. LOL! For real, though, my back issues flared up again last week, and the meds I take to manage the pain make me a zombie. Dewitched: Blackahven Manor, Book 12 will be out this week, though. I'll have it uploaded to Amazon by Friday, but it just depends on how quickly the review process takes. Could be a few hours, could be a few days. I should still have Curses and Casualties uploaded by Halloween. Same deal, though. It just depends on how quickly Amazon decides to publish it. As I mentioned in my newsletter, it really feels like Hunters Hollow is cursed. When I was writing the first book, there was a death in the family. Then I started writing the second book, and my husband had a heart attack, almost died, and needed open heart surgery. With this third book, my sweet little doggo, Luna, passed away rather unexpectedly. My dysfunctional brain holds onto those traumas and associates them with other things going on in my life at the time. AKA, the book I'm writing. So, working on the book makes me think of the painful thing that happened, and then, of course, I just want to get distance from it. Which is why every single book in the series was delayed by several months. In the case of Beauty and Bad Blood, it was close to a year. This time around, I had the crappy association, but I also had some other things going on in my life. Again, check out my last post for more detailed information. It's not an excuse. I hate it. I wish I wasn't like this. I just wanted to give an explanation for why I miss deadlines more often than not. Especially when it comes to Hunters Hollow. After Curses and Casualties, I'm going to take a break from the Blackhaven Manor world for a bit so I can work on a brand new series. Tentatively, I'm calling it Twisted Fate, but that could change before release. It's my paranormal, m/m, twisted take on fairy tales and fables. The series will take place in a port town, but not one by the water. It's not a tourist destination. It's a town located in a kind of nowhere place that controls all the portals to other realms. It also happens to be where a lot of fairytale characters live. The first book will focus on the fairy godparent responsible for screwing up all your favorite classics. As punishment, he is fired from his position and forced to work at the Portal Authority office. Think of it like a magical DMV. Eventually, he'll get a second chance to fix his mistakes, and he'll appear in the background of the rest of the series as he tries to rewrite history. Stay tuned for more details, but look for After Midnight to release in November. Oh, and in case you missed it, a good friend of mine just released her debut book! If you enjoy overprotective dragons, a quirky take on the Underworld, and hellhounds disguised as yorkies, be sure to check Death Becomes Him.
