Mercenary is Up!
Whoooo!! YES! Finally, I have finished re-writing the book, Mercenary.
This was not just an editing job. This was a complete revision and re-write. I’ve added scenes and changed some scenes, and fleshed it out a lot more.
The beauty of being able to revise/rewrite this series, is that not only am I catching mistakes, but I'm able to build more into the storylines. For example, with the previous version, there were things happening that didn't quite make sense until you got to book 18. I don’t believe that’s fair to the readers (and being a reader myself, I know that’d annoy me personally) so this time I've included a lot more detail and explanation, so it's clearer.
I'm hoping people like it. I LOVE the cover. Melody Simmons did an awesome job, and has done all the covers for the entire series. Yes, people, I have ALL the covers already and they are ALL gorgeous. I can’t thank her enough. While I chose the characters, she blended them into such beautiful backgrounds and completely captured the feel of the stories.
Interestingly, sci-fi romance doesn't seem to be a popular subgenre. Years ago I remember it was a large part of the paranormal romance rage, but seemed to dwindle away over time, which is a shame as there is so much scope with sci-fi romances.
For those who might be hesitant to dip their toes into this subgenre of sci-fi romance, you might want to try Outlaw, the first book in the series, which I have put up for sale for 99c at Amazon for a few weeks. I just changed the price this morning so I think it can take up to 72 hrs for the changes to take effect, but check it out in-between as it often takes less time.
Mercenary is now on Amazon and Smashwords for sale, and will be available soon at Kobo, iBooks and Barnes & Noble. Please note - I have found that most sci-fi romance readers seem to be on Kindle Unlimited, but because I know some readers prefer Kobo/B&N/iBooks and Smashwords, Mercenary will be going up at these places for about 4weeks before I flip them to KU. Unless, of course, suddenly sales sky-rocket at these other places ;-) Or at least I get enough sales to warrant leaving it there. But so far, like I said, most sci-fi romance readers seem to be at KU.
Okay, I'm off to update the website and do a few more things. I have an awesome TV horror series I’m halfway through, the Diamond Mosaic painting I want to try, and some good books calling my name. After all this I’ll be taking 2 - 3 weeks off to enjoy my downtime in-between the day job, but also to do some other chores badly needing doing. Then after that I’ll start the next Hope Bay novel.
But I will still be on-line even during my downtime, so drop me a line if you wish!
Cheers!
