Explanations and Such!

Hello everyone! It has been quite a crazy couple of weeks here in living in fantasy land!

First, I hope you're all enjoying book 5 in the Fated Saga!

Second, the previous post regarding my stolen books is currently being resolved! Hopefully in another 24 hours or so that nightmare will be over!

Third, I need to take a minute to explain some changes going on. I have done my best to let people know, but inevitably some will miss the facebook/twitter etc posts....

The exciting news is that I have taken on a few sponsors, which is a blessing! But it changes the dynamic of my job a little, as I now have financial backers to report to.

I am basically still a one woman operation when it comes to the day to day stuff, but having these sponsors will help me reach my goal of proper mainstream publication and everything that comes with that... basically a whole lot more work!

This means a few things will change however:

I will no longer be offering the eBooks for free, except for the 1st book in each series.

SORRY!!!!!!  Especially as I realize this will take away some people's ability to read my books. This is a very hard choice, but it is time to do so.  I have had meetings with my new sponsors and we toyed with various ideas, but when all is said and done, mainstream publishing is where I need to be.

Taking down the free versions is in part due to new agreements with my sponsors as well as in part due to the recent copyright/stolen works issue. I just have to be more careful with my work, it is my life-blood! Publishing on free sites just makes them a lot more vulnerable to being stolen and reproduced.

My wattpad fans, you know the wattpad deal, so I won't go into that here. 

Free-ebookers, I have enjoyed sharing my books with you, but it is just simply time to go mainstream! The books will disappear at some point very soon! I realize the timing is terrible with book 5 just being released.

I hope none of you hate me too badly, I realize some of you will be very angry and I truly apologize. There is no good timing for something like this, but seeing as my career goals are to be a full time writer, I have to sell books to make this happen!

I hope this clarifies all the various shifts and changes going on, if not, please write me a note or leave a comment. I will do my best to get back in a timely manner.... THANKS!!!!
