Hi all. This is a letter to update you about changes in my writer’s life, my books’ release dates, short stories, freebies, and to hint at new stuff to come. First, the changes:
I’ll be posting all snippets here instead of on Facebook. The reason is twofold. One, FB has decided to make it harder for me to reach fans without paying money for each post. They actually changed the algorithm to inhibit people being able to see posts. While I do not begrudge them their money for using their space as advertizing, I can’t afford to pay them every single day! Two, FB has declared that they hold ownership of everything posted there, in violation of US copyright laws. So snippets have to go my website with a note on FB and Twitter that they are up. This is to protect my rights as an author.
Today is the first day of this new situation. To celebrate this new way of doing things, tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday, there will be a two-part short piece of crossover fiction here at the website, featuring Hannah Everhart in the Thieftaker world with DB JAckson. If you haven’t read ‘Water Witch’, an e-short by us, get cracking because this picks up shortly after ‘Water Witch’.
Onward to books! By now, most of you know that my editor and I pulled BLOOD OF THE EARTH from its October 2015 release date. I needed more time and Wonder Editor (like Wonder Woman but better) made it happen. Releases are now scheduled for:
BLOOD IN HER VEINS, Feb. 2, 2016. (All the JY short stories in one spot, plus two new novellas!)
SHADOW RITES, April 5, 2016 (Tenth Jane Yellowrock novel)
BLOOD OF THE EARTH (Aug. 2, 2016. First book in the Nell Nicholson Ingram, SOULWOOD series.)
Several Shorts in other people’s anthologies, dates to be be released later.
Onward to New Stuff To Come. I am working now (keep your fingers crossed for me) on a new project in the ROGUE MAGE world. Yes I’m talking fiction. If it pans out, I’ll announce it here soon.
And … TRAVEL! I know you want me to visit near you, but it’s hard and expensive to travel, even to meet the best fans in the world. Eldercare issues permitting, I am planning to travel a bit more in 2016. I have 5 Cons planned, and if I can work it, some RV book-store traveling during book release months of April and August. Announcements will be made here! Though I have to warn you, it will mostly be east of Mississippi due to travel costs.
Last and MOST IMPORTANT. I truly appreciate my fans supporting me so much. If not for you, there would never have been more than 3 Jane Yellowrock books. Did you know that? By buying my books, you gave Jane life. And you made it possible for me to be a fulltime writer! You made my dreams come true and I want to make yours come true too by writing the best books I can.
So, please continue to share my FB and Twitter links, and especially, the link to this page!
Much love to you all!
Faith
