Bandit Brothers Book Four And Series Update

I had a plan.

And if you’ve read for a while, you know I like plans. But I also kind of have a thing with chaos…

My plan was to put out a five-book series and have it concluded within 2022 (you may laugh, it’s okay).

Right now, I have Flame For You (book one), Flame For Two (book two), and Flame Again (book three) out.
But I also have the novella Flame For A Weekend out, and this was an unexpected detour. I had this book up on the retailers for a couple of weeks but now you can get it by signing up for my newsletter as an exclusive.

In edits, I have Sasha & Finn’s book, which the first half of which serves as a prequel. The reason why I sat on this book for so long is that I’m not sure how to market it, and that includes how I number it because while it starts off before Book One, it catches up to the timeline of Flame Again.

The pre-order for Flame True, Bandit Brothers Book Four went up yesterday, and it’s  here

and on for the pre-order price of $2.99 USD.

But the release date for Flame True is January 17th, 2023.

Next year. 

So… not in my original plan that I had started last year. But this gives me time to get it to betas, go through edits and hopefully get a few reviews up before release day and I have built in some downtime because my brain might just need it.

Secretly though, I am hoping that while betas are reading Flame True, I can surprise release Sasha & Finn’s story….

What was a five book story has now turned into 5 books, plus two (maybe novellas I’m not sure if they are full length yet), plus one NL freebie, plus a prequel. And because I like even numbers a lot and readers have asked me for it, there might be a novella about a certain wedding.

And I couldn’t be happier.

Thank you for reading.

 

 

 

 

It is a touch of spite. Spicy spite.

Came across this question today in one of the groups: “What keeps you motivated to write?”

And I almost, almost commented with, “Spite, mostly.”

But I didn’t.

But it’s true – mostly.

Trauma seriously had an effect on my crative output… eventually I got so mad that I wasn’t writing that I sobbed/screamed and then just did it. Totally afraid that I wouldn’t do it.

Still, fight the fear that I won’t get out this book if I don’t get out this book. It’s a grind.

(And a total love. And a content that is hard to explain).

Also I: Been slugging trying to polish this exhibitionism/voyeur scene. I have wanted to write this scene with these characters for so long – it might be the whole reason a third floor with a viewing room was added to Club Bandit … and yet…. the scene is not living up to the expectations in my head.

 

 

 

Just keep writing… this series

Coming to you on this chilly Autumn day with the sniffles or something. I feel kind of gross and foggy headed but whatever.

Pushed thorugh and got another chapter in on Mulberry and Nick, and is there being made-to-come-with-a-silicone-baking-spoon? Yeah, there is.. I feel as the series goes on I’m getting a bit more…putting it out there.

I really WISH I could tell you when ARCs will be available but I can’t that depends on quickly beta readers get back to me and it hasn’t even reached them, yet. I am liking this book so much. Nick is at a crossroads. And Mulberry is at a new chapter where she could put behind (finally) that awful incident from Flame For You.

Send me some tea and healing vibes if you got them to spare.

Frosty October Morning

A thick layer of frost this morning made it super hard to get out of bed, but my cubs woke up before the sun’s disc broke the horizon, so I had no choice but to find everyone socks and blankets and get at it. Got a chapter finished on Nick&Mulberry and now the story is moving along. Thank gods, because I was getting a little impatient.

Flame For A Weekend: A Bandit Brothers Novella is now available in paperback from the ‘Zon, if you are keen to have it in paperback.
