Novella in Progress

I mentioned in earlier posts that I’m working on a new novella as an exclusive giveaway treat for my newsletter subscribers. It’s called Switch and Bait, and it’s about a team of shifters who take on missions for other magical folks when normal humans aren’t cut out for the job. It’s set in present day, in our world, and there are 3 males and 2 females. They are all different shifter types: wolf, bear, fox, otter, and hare. The main character is Sidney, the hare and also the computer/tech expert for the team. She has a crush on the wolf leader, Cole, but he barely seems to know she exists, and she’s too shy to say anything. She feels marginalized by the other team members as well, and is thinking about leaving the group and skipping town.

So when a doppleganger with the ability to look like any other person offers to switch places with Sidney, she jumps at the chance. The only problem is, her new life is about to get very dangerous, very fast. To survive, she’ll need the help of her team, and that won’t be easy when they’re convinced she’s not even gone. To make things worse, the doppleganger is doing what Sidney never had the courage to do. She’s seducing Cole.

Here’s the cover:

I’m pretty happy with the way the cover turned out. But if anyone has any feedback (positive or negative), please let me know!

Quick update on Dragon Blue: We’re up to 33 reviews on Amazon, maintaining a 4.6-star avg, which is great. Sales are dropping, but page reads are going way up, which is interesting. Yesterday the book had nearly 2000 page reads. I’ve got another promo targeted specifically at shifter readers set up for tomorrow, so we’ll see how that goes. I may run another promo or two. Not sure yet. I was feeling a little discouraged that the book didn’t take off on launch, but I got some feedback from some vets that said it’s way too early to tell. I think I’m actually off to a reasonable start. I’d obviously like to make more money month over month, but if I’m just focusing on putting out a steady stream of high-quality words, hopefully the success will come.
