I was going to call this post “eleven paranormal romance e-books for 2011” but then remembered that some of them are actually dark fantasy romance / fantasy steampunk romance ebooks, not paranormal.
And now that’s out of the way with, on to the point of this post!
I was rather absent from releasing new stories over the past year. Some ridiculous idea about getting an agent and leaving the world of indie publishing had me caught up in slaving over researching agents and publishers, and endlessly fiddling with a perfectly good novel that probably didn’t need that much tweaking at all, and writing another 3 novels for the same purpose. Because of this, and the fact that it appears my readers have stuck with me throughout my absence, I am going to make it up to everyone by doing something a little bit crazy.
Like releasing eleven e-books in 2011… yes… 11 books. And I’m not just talking novellas and short stories here.
I am going to write and release 4 novels and 6 novellas. What’s that I hear you cry? That’s only 10? Well, yes, but the muse is yet to decide whether number 11 is going to be a novella or a novel, although he has just given me an idea for a shape-shifter novel (which may jump the long queue of 16 other novels that are waiting to be written)
At least I have until December to figure out which novel or novella will be written for spot number 11, which gives me plenty of time to plan, write, and edit it.
And what sort of stories are the other ten novels and novellas? Well, there’s a good mix. You’ve got some paranormal vampire romance novels (including one rather epic book), two Vampires Realm novellas, two Tri-Kingdom novellas (a fantasy steampunk romance series I started but I’m now re-writing some of them), an urban fantasy romance, a shapeshifter novella, and a werewolf romance novella. Plus, whatever number 11 turns out to be (it could be anything if the muse doesn’t go with this new story – I have Vampires Realm novels, Tri-Kingdom novels, science-fiction romances, vampire romances, werewolf romances… and urban fantasy romances).
I’ll keep track my progress with these novels and novellas, and this challenge here. I’ve already blogged about some of them – Love Immortal (out Feb 2011), Ascension (out May 2011), Forbidden Blood (out July 2011) and Heart of Darkness (out Oct 2011) – which are the four novels that make up part of the challenge.
I haven’t written a bean about the novellas yet, as I haven’t started them! I’ll dream up some suitable working titles and then start posting when I begin writing them. I’m due to start writing the first Vampires Realm novella this month, once I’ve written Vampire for Christmas, which is my seasonal release this year, and which I’m starting the first draft of on Monday. But that’s a different post…
