KU Roll Out Dates
Many of my more dedicated readers know that I have been dealing with health issues, first with cancer and treatment in 2013 then recovery in 2014 complicated by auto-immune disorders. Because of health, my productivity faltered significantly and I enrolled all of my titles in Kindle Unlimited. As a writer, I am not a fan of contemporary subscription models, particularly ones like Kindle Unlimited which demands exclusivity (cutting off readers who are loyal to other platforms and inconveniencing other readers who may have split serial purchases between platforms) and also because the value of each borrow is like a game of roulette (with the potential to turn into a game of Russian Roulette, which no one wants to play!).
So putting my titles in KU was a bit of a sales crutch while my body continued to mend and productivity was restored. I feel like I’m on the cusp of restored productivity. This coincides with more of my titles coming up to the end of their 90-day exclusivity period. So, for those wondering when you can squeeze the last KU borrow in or when you can expect to find titles back on Nook, Apple, ARe and POTENTIALLY Google and Kobo, I’ve compiled a list of dates. These dates are subject to technical limitations on the various platforms that may cause them to be a day or so off. So, if you are getting in a borrow, sooner is better. And if you are waiting for an appearance on another platform, it may take a few days more than listed.
Title | Last KU Date | Date for Other Platforms | Relevant Notes
Callan | April 25 | April 28
Waking Up Her Curves | April 27 | April 29
Alpha Curves and Curve Charm | May 4 | May 7 | Since Wolf Curves is already out of KU, May 7 will also include release of Hunted - a bundle of books 1-3
Curves for Two | May 4 | May 7
Smothered | May 4 | May 7
Riding Curves and Sexting Curves | May 5 | May 7 | The collection Curves with Benefits contains these two titles but will not be available until May 20, after Curvy When Wet is out of KU.
Undeniably His, Pet Collection, Curve Contract, Curves for Her Billionaire Doms, Curve Lullaby and Big Like Texas (was Texas Curves) | May 6 | May 8 | The collection It Takes a Billionaire will also be available around May 8 and includes excerpts of Undeniably His and Pet Collection, plus the full ebooks of the other four titles (Contract, Lullaby, Texas and C4HBD).
Curvy When Wet | May 17 | May 20 | The Curves with Benefits bundle should also be out on May 20 and contains Wet, Sexting & Riding
Training Her Curves … well, this is a bit of a hot mess! Geneva (#5) is out May 4; Chicago (#1), Miami (#2) & Boston (#3) are out on May 15; Dallas (#4) is out May 27; Kinbaku (#6 – was #5 but not essential to timeline) and London (#7) are out June 23. But Chicago, Miami, Boston, Dallas & Geneva will not be available on other platforms until after May 27 because of the story timeline. Hopefully Mishka’s story will be done when Kinbaku & London are out and available on all platforms (that is the goal at least!).
Tender Loving Curves 1 & 2 (mini-bundles that include Slow Hand Curves, Curves Ahead, Sunny with a Chance of Curves and Curve Patrol) | June 24 | June 26 | This will also allow release of the larger Must Love Curves bundle (also available in print) with these titles plus Spanked by the Vet and Curves for Two.
TITLES ALREADY OUT OF KU
Perilous Curves Collection (and its independent titles of House Rules, Killer Curves and Captured by Her Curves) are out and all are live on Nook and Apple. They are in progress at All Romance and will hopefully all be up tonight (4/12/15).
Wolf Curves and Spanked by the Vet are out now and will be going live on Apple, Nook and All Romance for free by 4/19/15. (As noted above, Curve Charm and Alpha Curves, plus the collection Hunted will not be available on these platforms until around 5/7/15.)
Black Gold 1 & 2 are out. I will be combining them into one title and that combined edition will be up on Apple, Nook and All Romance by 4/19/15.
