Updating Titles on Kobo

We are now updating our titles to Kobo. While there were already quite a number available from Kobo, there were more that weren’t. This week, the process of getting all our titles onto the Kobo platform began in earnest. We will update you on new uploads as they happen, and let you know when the process is complete. Today, and yesterday, the following titles were uploaded, and are currently undergoing Kobo’s approval process:

Publisher Update: December 9, 2017

It's been a busy month so far. We've been following up with our authors, and slowing getting next year's publishing schedule into shape, as well as rounding out the last few releases of the year. So far, we have the following titles lined up:

December 2017

15th - The Trading Game by Ellie Moonwater
29th - 366 Days of Flash Fiction by C.M.Simpson

The Trading Game has been uploaded for pre-order to all outlets and distributors. It is also ready for release as a paperback via CreateSpace, so will take a few days to appear on Amazon. 366 Days of Flash Fiction is currently undergoing edits and formatting, and we are still waiting on a cover.

January 2018

5th - The Queen's Game by C.M. Simpson
13th - A Planet's Ransom by Carlie Simonsen
27th - Welcome to the Fruit Platter by Ellie Moonwater

The Queen's Game is an urban-fantasy short story set in the Otherworld universe, dealing with the clash of cultural expectations, and other, more sordid matters to do with elves, trolls, and trafficking. It has gone through the first stage of edits and is waiting for final edits before entering the publishing phase. A full cover has been requested. A Planet's Ransom is a stand-alone science-fiction novel for young adults, possessing themes of racism, sexism and ostracism as well as interplanetary politics. We've only just received this from Carlie, and have placed it in the editing queue, as well as requesting a full cover. Welcome to the Fruit Platter is an erotic urban fantasy romance revolving around werewolves and multiple partners. Again, it is queued for editing and a cover has been requested. Carlie has said she may complete a short chapter book in time for a January release, so we are hoping that comes through. She has until the end of the week, or it will have to given a later release date.

February through June

As promised, C.M. Simpson has delivered the short story releases through to June, and we will be scheduling their editing and publishing around longer works that are penciled in for earlier releases. The short stories pending are as follows:


February - Reluctant Liaison (urban fantasy set in the Pixie-Dust world); March - Memory's Vampire (horror and dreaming); April - Dreams of the Serpent (science fiction set in the Odyssey universe); May - Destiny's Queen (a stand-alone fantasy); and June - Harper's Choice (an urban-fantasy, science-fiction, time-travel cross-over set in the Pixie Dust world). 

 



 

Author Roundup: Week 3 April 2013

Our authors are working towards the next round of releases.

CarlieSimonsen has just released her seventh chapter book and is polishing her eighth. She promises she’ll settle down to work on one series at a time, soon… maybe by next year.

EllieMoonwater is busily writing the last three chapters of her next novella, an erotic suspense with a dollop of romance, a strong flavor of Egypt, and shapeshifters galore. She says it should be in within the month. It is currently 28,000 out of a projected 30,000 words long, but will go a little longer.

C.M. Simpson has received her first beta-read edit for Shadow’s Fall, and is busily working through the very good feedback she’s received. She is also polishing a dark fantasy short story for release, and is working with Carlie to draft some teachers’ notes for Carlie’s chapter books. We like to keep C.M. busy with our covers and editing, as well. It keeps her out of trouble.

Madeleine Torr is almost half-way through her next novel, a romantic suspense that will kick off the Bookstore series. She is also a good way through drafting the next book in the Pictures series.

 EleanorMaine is drafting a second book in the Gargoyle series, while she works on a longer work of Egyptian fantasy.
