Weekly writing updates? Let’s try.

I have been working on three projects right now so, let’s do a quick status update:

  1. First Brood 4: Emma – 16823 words
  2. Dewey – 9300 words
  3. Fruit of the Dead S1E3 – 223 words

Fruit of the Dead should cap at about 3000 words. I’d like to keep each installment short as I build the story. No clue how long the others will end up. I tend to bounce between these three. I may be working on one then have a brain wave for another one and I just go with it. Hopefully FotD will be finished this month but, we’ll see. I may hit my stride with the others so, I’m not making any promises. If you’d like a teaser for the first two, check out my Patreon. The first chapters are posted there for free.

Since there was no new chapter update for June, I decided to make the prologue for First Brood 4: Emma public on my Patreon!! I’m almost done with the next chapter. It just needs a little more polish and it’ll be ready to post. Enjoy!!

Pride Sale!

 

In honor of Pride Month and the delightful person who sent me a middle finger when I put my books on sale in June last year, I’ve put my books featuring LGBTQ+ characters on sale once again for the entire month! Click any of the links below to check them out. Make sure the sale price is there since I don’t count on a bug free experience…

I am also proud to announce that my new project “Dewey” will have a non-binary lead and I will be releasing chapters on my Patreon when I’m far enough ahead in writing.

Sorry, Middle Finger Person. We’re not going anywhere.

Patreon has been updated with the next chapter of book 4! You can view the story in progress for just a dollar. Just please remember; it is necessary to have read the previous three books to understand book 4. They are available here on my blog, or on your platform of choice here, here, and here. Even if you can’t read via Patreon, this book will be available like the others once it’s finished but, it will likely be different as I’ll of course be editing it before the official release.

Writing Update! Plans going forward.

Lenni-72dpi-1500x2000 (5)

So, since my money situation is not good, I am going to be releasing my next book in chapters as I finish them on my Patreon under the $5 membership tier. I am aiming for one chapter a month that’s as polished as I can make it. Be aware, this book is in progress. Once I finally release the completed book, things may be reorganized and absolutely will be re-edited. It’s been awhile since I continued my first series and I’m actually excited to get back to it!

I’m also still working on that dystopian librarian story and brainstorming some ideas for the Djinn, Fruit of the Dead, Go Away Girls, and Gods in the Grey City series. Sometimes it surprises me how many series I have going right now… These are also all available here on my blog if you want to check them out.

Yes, this is ambitious considering I work full time, overtime, looking into remote part time work, and still reviewing books all the while with a teenager but it’s clear that just one job isn’t going to keep a roof over our heads. I’m gonna have to push myself to write as much as possible. Hopefully, you all enjoy it!
