2015 Year In Review – part 1: the Twins

2015 Year In Review – part 1: The Twins

Wow another year passes us by, whew, and it went by so fast. While its good to seem some tough trials in life be gone, still, can we find someone to stop the wheel of time? LOL

2015 for the us twins, certainly seemed like a rather slow one in the way of writing. The long struggle to get Talon’s next release fromhis Dominion of Brothers series turned into a much bigger challenge then I’d thought it’d be as his ghost writer. **big hefty sigh** But its finally finished and is in its last round of edits. In case you missed the news on it, its up on Pre-order with a release date for January 29th. Couldnt think of a better present to give my twin. And….. since you suffered in such agony waiting for this book release, we decided to do something awesome to help get you in the mood and ready. What did we do? We released the Dominion of Brothers series in a box set with an unbelievable mega low price.

   ……… 

One of the bigger hurtles this year had been the loss of our website when out layout was no longer being supported by WordPress, it took a couple of months to finally come to the reality we weren’t getting it back and had to redesign a whole new site. It was well worth the effort, getting snazzy new internet digs, but sadly when we transfered our database archive, while the gigabytes seem to think it has everything, our database to this day remains invisible and unaccessable   Four years of content buried in the abyss of darkness. A hard blow when keeping fans always coming over to visit is an ever increasing challenge these days.

On the publishing news, 2015 was kicked off with a twin release: Taking Over Trofim ~ Book 4 of the Dominion of Brothers series and Muse Me Only. Later in that year Muse Me Only was picked up by French translations and publishing company Juno Publishing and was released with its translated title Inspire-Moi Seulement. It even hit number one both in print and in Kindle !!! After tat spectacular surprise, Juno has signed up the full Dominion of Brothers series for French Translation and we should see Becoming His Slave out sometime next summer of 2016!!

Not long after that, another book for the Teddy Bear Collection came out. Ivan vs Ivan was a huge unplanned surprise for me as well as Teddy Bear fans, but the story certainly packed a wallop.

We’ve also seen a few new awards and nominations! Muse Me Only received an Honorable Mention in2015’s Rainbow Awards for Best Erotic Gay Romance; Muse Me Only, Taking Over Trofim and Ivan vs Ivan have all gotten a few Nominations in the 2015 MM Goodread’s Awards with the final votes taking place Jan 6-22. I even made it into the finalists with some of the biggest names in MM Romance over at Gay Reviews.

So what else did we do? We decided to put all our books into print. EVERY THING!  We still have the Dear Soldier series to put out, but no worries, its coming!

So What in store for 2016?

Yipes… I honestly have to say, I’ve not a clue. There are still so many books in WIP level and many of those of part of a series or set that are past due their brethren titles. Like: Quantum Mates, The Lycotharian Collection, The Dear Soldier Series… And trust me when Right One 4 Diesel comes out, readers fans are going to be  demanding the next book in the DoB series, so the pressure is on.

Whatever does happen, I am sure it will be great in some ways, painful in others. Whichever titles come out over the year will hopefully be loved nomatter if it means having to wait a little longer to see your most anticipated come out. But no matter what, we promise the wait will always be worth the the sotries we have to tell.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL
