The Beshadowed Series is Complete

The earliest notes I have saved for Beshadowed are from 2012. That’s at least how long I’ve been dreaming this series up. For a long time I chose not to write it because I knew it was a complex story and I wasn’t sure I could do it justice. But finally, I decided to jump in and try. 

Now, ten years later, the series is complete. 

This urban fantasy is unlike any other. It contains an all new paranormal race, a plus sized main character, slow burn romance, found family, Stranger Things meets Supernatural vibes, monster hunters and mysteries, and more twists and turns than architecture by Escher. 

The overall tone I aimed for in this series is “adorably dark“. There are horror elements and monsters and bad guys, but the good guys are good, sweet people, who try their best and love each other dearly. 

This has been a real passion project for me. The first book got off to a rocky start, and to be honest I almost quit and gave up on it then. But this series was always designed to be a complete four book story arc and I refused to leave readers hanging. And as each book has come out, more people have fallen in love with the Beshadowed world.

It’s been my most popular series yet.

Will there be more books in the Beshadowed? Maybe, someday. I’m not entirely sure where my writing journey is going to take me next. I have a few other different story concepts I’d like to see come to life first, but those that have read through Beshadowed will know that although the story wraps up, there is so much potential for the series to continue.

I’ve put together a fun prize pack with all four Beshadowed paperbacks which will be hand signed for you, plus some other goodies! Enter below…

The trouble with Heartsblood

A couple of years after I published my first novels, I had a wild idea I wanted to write, but felt like it didn’t really fit into what people expected from me.

I decided to publish it under a pen name. It was an experiment as well, because I was really curious about how my books would be received when people didn’t know it was me writing them. Having a pen name was freeing and I wrote a whole bunch of more adult and crazy stuff under that name.

But having a second secret pen name was also a lot of work, too much, and I got tired of it.

I made the plan last year of republishing those novels under my own name (with some slight edits). I removed them from sale everywhere, gave them new titles and new covers and re-released them mid last year as the Heartsblood series.

I said goodbye to my pen name for what I thought was forever.

All well and good, until I got a notification from Amazon in November saying they had removed one of the Heartsblood series, because apparently they don’t allow a book to have the title and author changed and be republished. Oops. They also told me I had to remove the rest of the series too.

This is because it can cause confusion for readers, who may not realise they had already bought or read the book under the previous title information. I can totally understand their reasoning there.

So the Heartsblood series hasn’t been available as ebooks on Amazon for a few months now. I tried to get answers from them about the best and correct way to make the series available again, but got no response. 

I’ve gone ahead and made my own efforts to make it as clear as possible now that the Heartblood series are republished, and what their previous title and author were. So if you were ever curious what my pen name was, you can now see that it was Lena Fox. 

Here’s what the series used to look like, the Vampire Temptations series.

And here is how the covers now appear on Amazon, featuring myself and my previous pen name, and even the previous title included, just to be safe. 

So that’s that, my secret pen name out in the world to see! It doesn’t really matter anymore, since I’ve brought these books under my own name anyway, and the only other book(s) I wrote as Lena are also out and available exclusive to my subscribers (What was The Bucket List, Forever List, and Ever After List, now available as one book called Everything Left Undone). 

It feels strange being so open about a name I kept secret for almost ten years. 

Anyway, now I just have to keep my fingers crossed that all remains well with Amazon (their terms are somewhat vague and applied arbitrarily). 

Just in case you were wondering why the Amazon ebook versions have slightly different covers than through other stores, and who Lena Fox is, now you know the story about why!

2021 Wrap up

Last year I wrote that my plans were “Clean up, cataloging, consolidation, and celebration.” I said, “This might look like combining my selinafenech.com and fairiesandfantasy.com websites together, or bringing my novels published under a pen name into my main range.”

And yep, I did those things! I got this new website up and running, combined my pen names, and I celebrated ten years in publishing!

It has been a long year. Everything that happened before July feels like it was ten years ago! But all things considered, I got quite a bit done. Here’s the round up.

Publishing

The Magically Ever After anthology was out in February, but didn’t hit the bestseller lists we aimed for, even with many thousands of sales. We just weren’t lucky. But my Rumpelstiltskin retelling novel I created for it (A Cage of Gold and Lies) will be out in January 2022, and I may even write some more fairy tale retellings. Would you like to see more for this series?

Beshadowed 2: Blood Bound, and Beshadowed 3: Shadows Awoken were both completed and released! It feels like a dream to be completing this series, that I have been planning for so long. 

The vampire romance that I had under a pen name got a rebranding and released as Heartsblood: Unlife, Remortality, and Deathless, plus the Omnibus. 

The other book by my pen name is spicier so I’ve decided not to republish it alongside my YA novels for now, but it is available for free to those who sign up to my newsletter in the Subscriber Library.

It was a bit of a slow down on colouring books this year, but I still got two brand new books out, plus a minis and a bundle. I’m really proud of Wild Magic and the new Mermaids and Animal Companions books, as both contain a lot of animal and creature companions in them that were a lot of fun!

I also started working with the amazing Delphine Lévesque Demers who will be creating some of my designs as grayscale versions, so fans of grayscale colouring, keep an eye out next year for more!

General Business

For the last few years, most of my business plan has revolved around creating content (write all the novels, design all the colouring books!), and cleaning up old loose threads of smaller parts of my business to manage my time better. But that’s just about all done now! Obviously creating new books will continue to be one of my main pursuits, but I also need to spend some time going forward actually promoting them a bit too, lol. 

I also need to work out how to be a better employer/manager of others and bring more people into my business to help out, because I feel like that would really help out. 

Personal

This year we had over three months of lockdown and homeschooling, yikes. It was a tough time, but we got through it as a family and I’m proud of us for that! Proud of all of Australia for that! In other random news, I became the secretary of my local scouts group, made my first will, joined Tiktok, and got my COVID jabs.

What’s next?

Straight up for next year my main priority is wrapping up the Beshadowed series with the fourth and final book in that story.

Then I would like to do one more mermaid colouring book, because that will give me four needed to create a super bundle mermaid book, which would be so cool! 

Once those projects are done, I’m actually unsure what to start next. I have lots of options…

I’ve written a story for a picture book that I could illustrate.

I have an epic fantasy about a half dragon/half unicorn I’d like to write… or maybe turn into a graphic novel? That’s a huge job, but a bit of a bucket list item for me.

My husband and his team from Shapeshifter have been developing some animation technology that I could work with to turn some of my stories into shows. Lots of possibilities!

I have outlines for more fairy tale retellings I could write, and outlines for a series of epic fantasy shifter romances, and plans for some kid’s book series, or … well, you get the idea. I have a lot of other story ideas and plans I could be writing! 

But I haven’t decided which to work on yet. 

What do you think I should do next year?

Memory’s Wake Companion Guide Video Flip-Through

One of my favourite parts of creating the Memory’s Wake series was the world building, and illustrating the characters and scenes from the stories. 

When the series was completed, I knew I wanted to gather up all of those images and information into one gorgeous bundle of all things Memory’s Wake. 

I put a lot of hours into creating the Memory’s Wake Companion Guide, gathering all my favourite quotes, creating write ups about the characters, settings, magic, creatures, and lore. I think it turned out to be something really special, a culmination of a decade’s worth of story planning, writing, and illustrations all brought together. 

Here you can see a flip through of everything the book contains! 

Those who subscribe to my newsletter for news about my novels get access to an exclusive Subscriber Library with free stories and downloads! The Memory’s Wake Companion Guide in PDF format is one of those freebies. You can become a subscriber and gain access Here.
