Publishing Schedule 2023
Added 2023-04-26 13:36:12 +0000 UTCAs per usual, I evaluate my progress partway through the year to see if I’m track for my goals. This year, in particular, I was worried about lost time, but… it appears nothing’s changed. I’m still on track for five books this year. Here’s the schedule for 2023:
- January: Haley 6 (done)
- March/April: To the Court of Dragons Kickstarter and release
- July: An Exile Among Stars (Surela 1)
- Summer/Fall: Undecided non-Pelted project
- November: Sleigh Bells and Starships (Pelted holiday collection)
I’ll be writing for the two remaining Pelted releases until summer (the rest of Exile, and the final novella for the holiday collection), and scheduling their preorders by July. Then… I’ll have the rest of the year to faff around and write whatever I feel like! I’m excited about that, because I have a bunch of non-Pelted projects that all look interesting to me. (Maybe I’ll get to more than one of them?) But five releases in a year sounds good to me, so even if I finish only one I’ll be happy.
Related scheduling, about Kindle Unlimited: if the experiment continues along its current trajectory, I’ll be quitting it early, in July. That means all new published work will be released wide, starting with Court of Love (already at other retailers), and I’ll start moving my existing work out of KU in mid-summer. Something might change, but I don’t anticipate it doing so; if I suddenly start making boatloads of cash, I’m going to stick with the boatloads of cash option. This is, however, unlikely enough that I’m already deciding which stories are going to get pulled first, in what order, and when.
If you are using KU to burn through my backlist, you’ve got two months! Hop to it! *grin*

I'm super pulling for more thief of songs. It's not that I don't like the pelted and all, I quite do, but there's not a lot of gender variance and I just really want that. It seems like the pelted don't have to worry about their popularity, no problem there, but our Jaguar only has so much time and so many brain cells, so I'm just saying... I hope for more four gender music action! With sea dragons!

2023-04-26 15:06:34 +0000 UTCI'm super excited for more Pelted stories! :D I have to tackle the rest of your books but I have been unashamedly, indulgently marinading myself in Pelted goodness. (Are we going to learn more about the courtship between Araelis and Lesandurel? I really hope they genuinely like each other and it's not a marriage of convenience.) Thank you so much for your stories - they've helped me a lot during rough times recently.
