    Spring signed book campaign …

    Spring signed book campaign with Only Cold Depths cover artSeveral folks have asked me to do another signed book campaign. Here we go!
    Click here and fill out the Google form to order signed book, bookmarks, and more
    The deadline to order is Monday, March 24. I will start sending out invoices in mid-to-late March.
     
    International readers can order bookmarks/signed bookplates by checking the bookmarks box and/or filling out the Comments section at the bottom of the form.
     
    I have estimated the postage/shipping costs, but they might go up, depending on what happens with the U.S. post office in the coming weeks.
     
    If you want one of my print books, I would suggest you get it now since I am probably going to have to raise my print book prices starting April 1.
     
    I am planning to do a special hardcover edition of Only Bad Options, but it won’t be available until summer 2025 (or later). Thank you for reading! 😎

    No more Crown of Shards books …

    MONDAY MORNING MAILBAG
     
    Question: Are you planning to write any more books in your Crown of Shards/Gargoyle Queen world?
     
    Answer: At this time, I am not planning to write any more books/stories in my Crown of Shards/Gargoyle Queen epic fantasy world.
     
    Why not? Well, it comes down to publisher interest, sales, and time, as most things do in publishing.

    Kill the Queen cover art featuring woman holding a bloody crownKill the Queen is book #1 in my Crown of Shards series. It focuses on Everleigh Blair, a royal who is distantly in line for the throne who becomes a gladiator to save her kingdom from her villainous cousin.

    Kill the Queen and the rest of the original Shards trilogy did/sold really well, which is why my publisher wanted more books, and I got to write the Gargoyle Queen trilogy about Gemma Ripley.
     
    However, the Gargoyle Queen series didn’t do/sell nearly as well as the original Shards trilogy. Why not? I think the books coming out during the pandemic was a big part of it, but I don’t really know. Some book series do well, while others don’t. Not having a concrete answer to questions like this always drives me crazy, but there is nothing I can do about it. *shrugs*
     
    I was planning to write a third trilogy about Delmira Morricone, but my publisher didn’t want any more books in my Crown of Shards world, so that’s the main reason I’m not writing any more books in my Shards world.
     
    I could self/indie publish some books in my Shards world, but right now, my Galactic Bonds series is doing the best for me so that’s what I’m going to focus on.
     
    Like I said before, it comes down to publisher interest, sales, and time. I have writing-related health issues, so my time to write is limited, and I need to concentrate on what is working for me right now.
     
    If something changes, and I ever get the chance to write more books in my Crown of Shards world, I will post about that online.
     
    I appreciate all the nice comments I’ve gotten about Evie’s and Gemma’s stories over the years. If you are looking for more romantasy books to read, you might want to check out my series. Thank you for reading.
