Happy (re)Launch Day, Folks!

Above, you see Mochi telling Taro, "I forgive you for leaving me for FIVE DAYS (I nearly died; never do that again)."

In book news, I am terribly excited to announce that Books 1-4 of The Pirates of Wefrvain series are now live in both ebook and paper! I had hoped to have these out before the final pre-order date (which is today), and I did have the ebooks uploaded more than a week ago. But I didn't get final paper proofs until yesterday. I know some of you like paper, and I wanted to make sure the paper was available at the same time as the ebooks. So here we are and there you go. I'm happy with the way the paper versions turned out, friends. They're very pretty and very read-able, even though they are quite thick.

FYI, the audio still needs an overhaul to match the new organization. I would not recommend buying the audio right now (although I can't stop you). I'll try to get it sorted by year-end.

So what's in these new books? In order to avoid confusion, I've created a helpful blog post. You can also see pictures of the (oh so pretty) full cover spreads.

Some of you will want to know when the books will show up in my signed paper bookstore. Answer: I've got to order them, wait for slow shipping, and also I'm about to be out of town for 3 weeks, so...in 3 weeks?

How is Cormorant (the final book in the series) coming?

Quite rapidly, considering its size! It's already come back from half a dozen beta readers. I know the pre-order date says Dec 15, but I'd be shocked if I didn't have it in your hands by mid November. If you haven't read the Cormorant excerpt on my website, it stands alone as a short story that even new readers can enjoy. It's about how Layjen met Percy (they were neither at their best).

What else have I been doing?

Item number one: guys, I am my own worst enemy. I have leapt straight into that third Hunters story, and this one will definitely be a novel, hopefully under 80K. I'm already 10K into it. I bet I'm done in 3 weeks. I think this one is called Arcove's Bright Side. As with the others, I'm posting it on Patreon as I write it. Right now, you can read Lullaby at the $1 level (I recently moved it there), and the other 2 at the $5. They're tagged.

Lullaby
Monthly Distraction
Arcove's Bright Side

Because I am my own worst enemy, ABS veers back into action/adventure. It'll still have a few explicit scenes, but a whole lot of run/fight/plot/scheme. Which means the original fanbase would love it...except that they'll have no idea what's going on without reading "Monthly Distraction," which is hell'a explicit and super gay. (Once again...see item number one.)

I swear I will get this out of my system soon and write something that 80% of you want to read. In the meantime, if you like xeno-fiction...or if you can at least tolerate it in pursuit of a good story...oh boy, do I have something for you. If your idea of fun is extremely naughty gay cat stories, interspersed with political machinations, chases that read like chess games, poignant moments between past and future generations, and lots of catty (haha) dialogue...you, sir/xer/madam are you in luck. Get on this train. (I would suggest getting on it via audiobook, but you do you.)

Off I go to finish this novel that I can't stop writing so that I can write something else,
Abbie
