May 2016 Update #2~

Hi, Readers,

Just popping in to share some exciting news. The Eternity books will be going offline soon. But not forever. Truth is we’re going to be reformatting them for—are you ready???— PRINT! Yes! The books, all 4 (remember Rise of the Beast is done!) will be out in print and eBook! While they are off the market, we will be doing fresh edits to catch those little typos that missed proofing, and fixing some formatting errors that slipped through conversion processes.

This is going to take some time, and the books won’t be reappearing until the end of this year, or beginning of next. The books will have their same covers and titles, so you will be able to recognize them. And there WILL BE PRINT BOOKS!

On another side, I am expecting the cover art for Before Night Falls soon. The book will be debuting a new title, too, along with an entirely new ending! I can’t wait to show it off!

More as it comes!

Keep reading~

May 2016 update~

Dear Readers,

Just popping in to share some exciting news. I can honestly say it because it is true! Rise of the Beast is done. 511 pages of pure surprise, as the book went in a totally different direction than what I expected.  I’ll be sending it off to my editor once I kill some stray plot bunnies. I’ll also have a release date, sometime this summer.

Next up, I am returning to the world of mermaids, with Siren’s Heart, the next generation series of my Dark Tides trio. Tagged “Ocean Deep”, these adventures follow the daughters of Tessa, Gwen and Addison as they learn to fit into in a world that doesn’t quite accept the Mer species.

More as  have it!

Keep on reading!

April 2016 Update #2~

Dear Readers,

I have news. Yes, it is true. I have been able to sit down and do some writing (at last!) First thing is the edit on Before Night Falls is done and I am sending it back to my editor at Beyond the Page on the 18th of April. The book, formerly Sins of the Flesh (Kensington, Aphrodisa) was written almost 10 years ago, so it has received an update in details and a revised ending. I will be showing off the cover art soon, I promise.

Now on to the next project. Rise of the Beast (Eternity #4) is sitting at 252 pages, and is nearing the finish line. I am hoping to turn it over to my editor at MojoCastle Press soon, and it should be released later this year. I know I am about 3 years behind on everything. But I am getting back in the groove and should be back on a regular release schedule of old and new works very soon!

That’s about it for now. Keep on reading!

Cheers,

Devyn

April 2016 Update~

Dear Readers,

Yes, it is true. I have news. Kensington Books has released the rights to Possession, The Hard Way (Men in Blue Anthology) and Soul of the Wildcat. I have made arrangements to place those books with MojoCastle Press and Beyond the Page Publishing respectively, and they will enter the que to be re-released with fresh edits and new covers. This pretty much means my association with the original publisher is at its end. It was a good run, but it’s time to look toward the future and new books.

So what about writing?

Well, I am slowly getting back into that, too. I have a stack of projects on my desk, and editors who are waiting for me to do the work. Life has been a little crazy, but things are starting to fall back into place and I can actually start to think about my writing career again.

So there you have it. I’ll be updating as new info and cover art comes in.

Happy Reading!

March 2016 Update #2~

Dear Readers,

Yes, I’ve finally had time to do a little updating of the site! It’s looked so same-same for such a long time, so I thought I would shake things up a bit and go for a different look. Hope you guys find it clean and easy to navigate.

As for writing, yes, I am trying. Running behind, but I am trying! Hopefully I’ll have some news in April.

Take care and keep reading!

Cheers,

Devyn

March 2016 Update~

Dear Readers,

Due to work and other family demands, the re-release of my Kensington titles, and any new material, has been moved back to later in the year. Right now, I am busy with the demands of holding a job and helping with an elderly parent, and so I have asked my editors for an extension to work on the books. I will keep you all posted as things get moving again.

Happy Reading!

January 2016 Update~

Hi, Readers,

Sorry I am behind on updates, but a lot of things have been going on behind the scenes. Most of it has to do with work, which I am swamped with. But there is good news ahead.

First of all, I’ll begin re-releasing several of my former Kensington titles in 2016. Man After Midnight (now re-titled Flesh and the Devil 2; Hell Bound) and Personal Possessions, a demon bondage themed novella from the Dangerous Ties anthology will be coming out at the end of March, with fresh edits, additional text and new cover art. I am excited to be giving these books the treatment they did not receive through their original publisher.

But, wait, there is more! Beyond the Page will also be reissuing Before Night Falls and After the Fall (formerly Sins of the Flesh and Sins of the Night), also with new material and smoking hot covers. I have to admit I was not fond of the headless torso look so many of my titles got, so now we are making up for that with images that are a little more enticing for readers. I expect to have firm dates of release for those books soon!

Finally… Yes, I am working on Rise of the Beast (Eternity #4) and my alternate Kelby Laroux literary project, All the Small Things. So many irons in the fire, and so little time. But things are happening, and I will be revealing the new cover art as it comes, along with putting together some awesome giveaways for readers.

Take care, and keep on reading!

December 2015 Update~

Wishing all my readers a Merry Christmas and happy New Year. I’ll be back in 2016 with new releases!

November 2015 Update~

Dear Readers,

Sorry this update is so late. Like the rest of you, I have been busy with work, family and getting ready for the holiday season. It’s all crazy, as usual.

So what is new? Well, as I await word from my new publisher, Beyond the Page, as to when my former Kensington titles will begin re-releasing (I am told the beginning of 2016), I have other news concerning my other publisher MojoCastle. Due to issues with getting the Eternity titles in print, I have put a temporary hiatus on further books n that series until the problems can be settled. This means Rise of the Beast will be delayed indefinitely. I am told the publisher is working on it, but I have no idea how much longer it will take.

With those projects put aside, I have decided to go ahead and concentrate on another area of interest, literary fiction. I am now writing under the name of Kelby LaRoux (www.kelbylaroux.com).  I am going to be honest and say it is because I want to distance myself from the adult erotic fiction I wrote for Kensington’s Aphrodisia imprint. Yes, I have won awards and gotten fair reviews, but the dive into a different type of fiction means a different type of audience. The best example I can give is JK Rowling who made the switch to a man’s name when she began writing mystery suspense. Her Harry Potter novels were aimed for the YA market, her Robert Galbraith novels at a more adult one. It doesn’t mean I am leaving genre fiction behind forever. It just means that Devyn Quinn is on a temporary hiatus while I concentrate on other projects. Once we settle the print issue with the Eternity books, I will be back on Rise of the Beast.

So there is the latest.

Enjoy the forthcoming Thanksgiving holiday!
