Taking a New Direction
Hi all,
Yes, I know you've been expecting the usual Tuesday Teaser in this place and I'm sorry to disappoint you - well, no, actually, I'm not, because I have something far better instead.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have an announcement to make.
I've published the amazing number of fifteen books since last May, with another two contracted and scheduled for release in March and June 2013 respectively. All of those books were or will be published through Total-E-Bound and Siren-BookStrand. Both are fantastic publishing houses to work with and I'm very lucky that they consider my work worth their while, but at the end of the day, they have fixed schedules and I have to fit into those. Now, most people who know me know that Sage doesn't do patience well, so you can probably guess what's coming:
I'm going to be my own publisher.
This step will mean a lot of extra blood, sweat and tears for me, but it also gives me more control over my work and allows me to release my stories at a faster pace (Yeah, good one, isn't it?) and with higher flexibility. I will continue to release some of my books through my publishers, above all the sequels to the books already out, but if this road works for me, then I'll keep walking it. Big thanks to my wonderful friends and fellow authors Harper Fox and Clair de Lune, my sounding boards on the way to making this decision, who have provided me with heaps of helpful information, encouragement and kind words.
Now, to the story I have in mind for this project: It is titled Shifting Changes, which again seems oddly appropriate seeing as I wrote it without any intention of it marking the beginning of a new era. But even so, this story is a special one, which to me makes it perfect for this endeavour. During the past couple of weeks I've been frequently asked to write a story that includes some sexy shifters and a heroine to keep my boys occupied. Both story elements are firsts for me, but I'm very happy to indulge my readers and friends. The book is written, so all it takes is final editing, cover art and oh, right, publishing.
I'm afraid I can't really give a concrete time frame for this as it's all new to me and a lot to consider and learn, but I'm hoping to get this baby out for you before the next book in the Romeo & Julian series is due (March 2nd). I'll keep you updated, so watch this space!
