Simon Strange:
I was looking for Adam Saint series Book 3, Fang & Fur the follow up for Bitten by Fate part of Wolfborne Trilogy does it exist? By the way I really enjoyed Bitten by Fate.
Simon Strange
Thank you! I'm glad that you enjoyed the book. It's... a complex answer.
Rune & Claw (which is the first of the series that Fang & Fur is slated as book 3 of) was rewritten as a full length novel, under my fantasy pen name, ultimately in a separate universe from BBF. It took a long time, and ultimately before I released the second book, a publisher started looking at it and they still are, which puts the Adam Saint series on hold while we work everything out to their satisfaction.
Mean while, that took up a ton of my time, and it has taken months for me to get back to my 'native' catalog to follow up on series, etc. Unfortunately, my paranormal stuff really just never took off as much as the rest of the catalog did, so in an effort to focus my working hours as much as possible, I've pared down where I put my hours and am focusing on contemporary erotica. I can't say that I'll never go back and follow up on that, Omega and the Three Bears, or even Sodom's Sons, but I don't foresee it in the near future now.
It's a constant balancing act, trying to write what you love, and what readers like, while also taking a stab at writing full time for a living. My husband likes to say "You have to put on Noises Off, so you can afford to put on Coriolanus." I hope that as my catalog grows, I will be able to slow down a bit and give the longer, more complex stories the kind of attention and patience they deserve. When that happens, I may revisit those paranormal romance stories.
