Getting Back On Track

Yes, it's been a few years since I last published. A lot has happened in this time, both personally and professionally, but I am excited to say I am back!

A few years ago, my publisher for the Kiya Trilogy and the Fairytale Galaxy series collapsed. It coincided with certain things in my life perfectly, so I can't complain there. The rights to the books all reverted back to me. The other books I had out I either let the contracts lapse of I asked for completely new contracts, which is why my current portfolio of available titles is limited at the moment. This is due to my divorce, because yes, he came after my books. Since Arizona is a common property state, my intellectual property was also legally his, so all contracts made in the marriage he claimed as his own and he was ordered by the court to receive 50% of my royalties. This was a major reason why I pulled most of my titles. A couple I had signed after our separation, which is why they are still available, but it was also at this time the publisher imploded, which made things simple for me in that regard.

However, it also meant Kiya and the Fairytale books were no longer available.

I was also struggling to juggle single parenting, working full time, and studying to earn my degree. I earned my associates not longer after the divorce, but I would need to move states to finish my degree with the same university. This meant more legal battles for custody so I could take my kids with me.

All of this combined made for an environment not terribly conducive to writing and finding a new place to release my books, so I kind of let it all slide. I'd deal with it when I could.

However, my publisher for the Cadence books noticed Kiya was available and they approached me. REUTS is currently doing a complete rebrand to be a boutique publisher, so they wanted solid titles for their relaunch. I loved working with REUTS for Cadence, so I was more than happy to sign up the Kiya Trilogy and all seven books of the Fairytale Galaxy. They also had one title in the works, but they asked for another one which the head editor had read previously, and then I also offered some more. During this time, Quest for a Popstar reverted back to me as well, so I asked if they wanted it. They said yes!

And so, here we are. The Kiya Trilogy will be getting relaunched into the world this year, completely overhauled, rebranded, and with some extra bits for fun. Next year, the Fairytale Galaxy will begin its releases as well, with all seven books coming out over a two year period. I'm also excited to get some new titles out there, two of which I am eager to share for different reasons. Secret Admirer is fun, amusing, romantic, and sweet, while Reruns of My Life delves into some hard topics as it follows a strong teen who is forced to face the past she tried to wipe from existence by faking her suicide.

So, yes, new books, old books redone, all are in the line up! I have an email subscription on the side here for notifications when they release. I am so excited to be getting books out again, and I hope you are too!
