I'm back

Well, I haven’t been keeping up with updating this blog as I was intending. There are various reasons for this, the main one being the government rejecting my suggestion that the day should be extended to thirty-six hours, so that I could fit in everything I need to do. I’ve decided, though, to deal with the existing twenty-four hours, and I’ll be keeping this a bit more up-to-date from now on.

Since my last entry, The Faery Princess has been out for six months, and has received a number of glowing reviews, which can be found on my website, here:

The first of my Kaydana the Sorceress series, Kaydana and the Staff of Ishlun, is all ready to go and due out on 6th April from Lyrical Press Inc. It’ll be in a slightly different form to the version published by Dark Eden Press before its unfortunate demise, since Lyrical Press Inc. has a slightly tighter policy on extreme sex. Although my first reaction to being told this was to have tantrum for about thirty seconds, the rewriting process has turned out very positive. Dealing with what I have to avoid has helped me get more thoroughly into the core of the story, and I think it’s emerged stronger. I’m looking forward to its release.

I’ve currently plans for six erotic sword-and-sorcery stories about Kaydana, though I’ll leave the possibility of extending the series further, if it seems appropriate. The first three are already done and dusted (if maybe waiting for the final editorial wax-polish) and I have extensive notes on what I’m intending for the remaining three. Well, they would be extensive if they weren’t all in my head. Doing it my way uses up less paper and therefore saves the planet. That’s my excuse, and I’m sticking to it.

So watch this space: there’s plenty to come.
