Delilah Des Anges's Blog: Des Anges/House of D Updates

A number of my titles are now available on the Kindle Store; The Other Daughter has general release on Lulu.com and Amazon; and currently for eBook only, I have also released a collection of poetry, Year of the Ghost.

I'm in the process of plotting out my next (serialised!) grand project, The Advent Chronicles, and the most recently-written one, As Simple As Hunger, will enter the process of rewrites and editing over the spring and summer.

Kindle Editions
Year of the Ghost

Thanks to a very speedy proof-reader, my third published novel, The Other Daughter, is ready to print. It will be available both in print and as an eBook in the new year.

Hello everybody!

Tiny Fictions 2011, a digest of all the Tiny Fictions releases from 2011, has been released in good time for Christmas, and is the perfect size for a stocking-filler. It is also available as an eBook.

Meanwhile The Other Daughter has returned from the continuity editor, and is awaiting some changes before it can go to the first proof-reader. A tentative release date is the New Year.

And currently in the first draft stages is As Simple As Hunger, a slightly steampunk fantasy novel filled with giant bugs. Why? Just because, okay. Just because.

Protect Me From What I Want is now available to buy both as a print and eBook.

How Not To Write and Pass The Parcel continue to be available at a 20% discount until the 1st of November.

eBooks of all published titles are available from Lulu.com.

Tiny Fictions #4: Bedtime Stories is available to buy both as PDF download and print copy!

The Other Daughter and Protect Me From What I Want are both with editors at the moment, and I am hard at work planning and outlining the next book, As Simple As Hunger.

Until the 1st of November, Pass the Parcel and How Not To Write By Someone Who Doesn't have 20% off at Lulu.com.

Tiny Fictions #4 is all set to go, with cover design and all else in place, and will be released sometime before October. It is the last Tiny Fictions of the year.

Protect Me From What I Want, a cold-case noir novella set on the Channel Islands, is currently with a proof reader and will be available by November.

The Other Daughter, a dark and horrifying tale of Shakespearean revenge (with a few laughs, too) is currently with a continuity editor, and after being proof-read and edited it should hopefully be out in time for Christmas.

Hamilton will be removed from sale on Kindle on the 1st of September, so if you still don't own a copy you'd better hurry!

Tiny Fictions #1, #2, & #3, How Not To Write, and For the Love of a City are now available as downloads from Lulu at the reduced price of £1.99 each! <a href=http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fStoreID=2826266>Have a look!</a>

Effective from the beginning of August, the Kindle versions of my most popular titles, Pass the Parcel and Know Your Words, have been dropped to a list price of just $2.99.

Also effective from the beginning of August, Help: Twelve Tales of Healing will be available on the Kindle store at $2.99. 70% of this cover price (the maximum allowable by Amazon) will be donated to Medecins Sans Frontiere/Doctors Without Borders.

For August only, Hamilton is being re-released as a Kindle-only publication, also at $2.99. It will be removed from sale on the 1st of September.

Finally, The Other Daughter has finished its look-over by an American editor and is being read for continuity. Further reports as and when I have edited it more!

Poems for Médecins Sans Frontières is now available to buy. The profits from this book are all donated to Médecins Sans Frontières, improving both the lives of people around the world and also your karma.

Meanwhile, Tiny Fictions #3: Soldiers, Fathers & Failures is almost ready to be published publically, as I am waiting to approve the proof copy, and The Other Daughter is within a few thousand words of a finished first draft. Protect Me From What I Want, an unusual crime story set on the Channel Islands, is in the process of being edited.

"Poems for MSF" (working title), a collection of 3 years of poetry-marathon poems written to raise funds for Medecines Sans Frontiere and to be published in book form in order to raise more money for this worthy charity, is near completion: the only thing missing is the cover. It should be on sale by the 1st of June, if not sooner.

Also in June, the first round of edits on "Protect Me From What I Want", a noir/detective novella, will begin. The rewriting process should only take until September, all being well.

In July, "Tiny Fictions #3: Soldiers, Fathers & Failures" will be available to buy.

And finally: Hamilton will be removed from sale permanently on the 31st of May.

How Not to Write by Someone Who Doesn't is now available to buy!

This is a collection of rants, essays, lists, and other marginalia and arguments relating to the awfulness that is attempting to write novels, short stories, and poetry.

No progress reports for any other books at present (though there are several poetry collections which are in need of a proof-reader, and at least one draft novel which needs editing soon), but a reminder that Hamilton will be removed from sale permanently on the 31st of May 2011.
