Bat out of Hell Preorder

Dear humans,

Bat out of Hell is now available for preorder on Amazon, as the readers in the Fantasy Worlds of RJ Blain group seemed really, really eager to have the preorder of this cute little book.

Preorders on Barnes & Noble and Apple Books will be coming soon. Kobo and Google Play preorders will only be made available when the book is completely finished. (The female does not have sufficient mental strength to handle preorders on these vendors at this time. But don’t worry! They’ll be re...

Witch & Wolf Republishing: Let’s talk Audiobooks

Dear humans,

While the female hasn’t a chance to do a re-read of the series yet to do her clean up work in, she went ahead and did the formatting work on Winter Wolf to get that part of the update finished.

The series is now republishing.

As she has time, she will be doing a re-read and cleaning things up. (Mostly spelling type search and destroy and fixing minor grammar things.) The inclusion of the epilogue of Winter Wolf is the big thing, and it’s finished.

So, hooray on that!

Now, we nee...

The female… may be an idiot.

Dear humans,

The female spent many an hour scheduling the rest of her life, but through her checks, her double checks, and all of her meticulous planning… she forgot something rather important.

Those who are part of the Fantasy Worlds of RJ Blain facebook group were cruelly teased about a Pat and Jessica Royal States novella… one she’s about a third of the way through.

She completely neglected to account for its existence in her scheduling.

She can has a dumb.

Here’s the cover for the novell...

Tentative Schedule Moving Forward: September 2019 through December 2021.

Dear humans,

The female finally got around to sitting down and reviewing her schedule for the rest of the year.

It will be insanity.

She’s okay with this, as she’s also done her schedule for 2020 and 2021. She’s also started looking at 2022.

I know. That’s a lot of years in advance, but she wants to manage her time better. She also doesn’t want to work herself to death.

Keeping up with the schedule she’s set will involve a great deal of work between now and Christmas. By the time Christmas r...

Books, Authors, and Beliefs: Authors aren’t their Books.

Dear humans,

While this isn’t meant to be a political or religious post, these things will be touched on by necessity. Debate on religious or political subjects is not welcomed. You’ll understand why soon.

At least once a week, someone asks the female if her books reflect her personal beliefs. Sometimes, people accuse her of things, including being a pedophile, all because she wrote a book series that includes the very real issue of child marriage in the United States. Honestly, these people...

Special Announcement Regarding Witch & Wolf Main Series Individual Novels.

Dear humans,

In the next few days, the female will be removing these titles from sale for a little while. She must make some adjustments to Winter Wolf, in particular, which is throwing a hammer in things. The books may or may not return for a while, depending on how long it takes her to figure out the Winter Wolf problem.

The Witch & Wolf Complete Series Box Set will remain on sale, as it has solved the problem the human faces. In short, Tales of the Winter Wolf Volume Six is no more, but W...

Let’s Talk About Witch & Wolf.

Dear human,

This is not my first stab at writing this post. In fact, I’d tapped up a glorious post, very long, full of wow… I went into a glorious feline rant about how readers who do not buy any books in a series until the series is entirely done ultimately help make series die terrible deaths for fiscal reasons. (Like, seriously. If the authors aren’t paid for the books while they’re working on them, the series die and aren’t finished. If you want to see a series succeed, buy the damned bo...

Ch-ch-changes! We nuked the old website from orbit.

Dear humans,

Last night, the female snapped, much like a little twig under foot. It was truly delightful. She grabbed the digital shotgun, she aimed it at the server hosting my blog, and she opened fire. She then lit its digitally shredded corpse on fire, defenestrated it, and she possibly indulged in an act of exsanguination.

She had a great time.

As a result, there are ch-ch-changes coming! She’s hard at work recreating my website so it’s pretty… and better still, functional for readers! I...

We broke the site. Sorry, humans.

Seriously, we’re not too sorry about our decision to nuke the website from orbit. It was time for a fresh start, and the female got rather upset over something, and as she was inside the server, she hit the red button that began nuking it from orbit.

We made changes to the server, so things should run faster and more reliably. We’re sorry for the clutter. Over the next few days, we’ll populate the site with fun data! Like snarky reviews of all the female’s books, future projects, and so on.

Blending In is now available in audiobook format!

[image error]

Dear humans,

It’s me again! The audiobook fairies have informed us you can now acquire copies of Blending In in audiobook format! Hooray!

And since Blending In wants ALL of the love this week, it’s also in the finalist round over at Uncaged in the Urban Fantasy category. The female would be really appreciative if you were to go vote.

As there is a new release (of sorts) and a special surprise on the way, the female will be sending a newsletter out to the new list. If you want to hear wheneve...
