So, happy warrior dance. Lunar Light has been released. This is the Dark Fantasy/Paranormal Romance novella about the Wendigo. The feel of the book is quite ... cold (my romance tends to be stand-off-ish because that's how I like it), and is my first foray into the world of the 'sex scene'. Realistic? You tell me.
You can get it from Smashwords and in the Kindle store now, but we have to wait about a week for iBooks, and up to six weeks for it to filter through to the rest of the eStores. (Nook, Kobo, Diesel, etc). It’s priced at 99 cents/70 pence as I wanted a price barrier this time round.
Like I’ve said before it’s a straightforward dark romance (not suitable for younger readers) with a simple plot and storyline. It’s actually longer than I first reported (42,000 words), but still about two to three hours reading time. A quick read for an empty afternoon (for those of us who have empty afternoons, lol). You may note I also updated the cover to tie in with the overarching Beautiful Damned cover. I think it's a little prettier, but does not detract from the off-kilter and slightly disturbing overall feel (I stand by my observation that some monsters cannot be made to be anything other than monstrous).
The next novella will be Silver Lance which I’ll start uploading to WattPad now Lunar Light is up there. WattPad is where I gather feedback on my book drafts. It’s a great place to talk to readers, and since the demographic is mostly my target audience (13-30 fantasy/sci-fi lovers) I can tell is something is working or not. You can tightly control your reads so your stuff is not just open to everybody, and the community is very upbeat and positive if you're willing to put in the time. I am surprised other Indie's are not all over the site like a rash!
I have also started a new WIP called Aurora Spectre Chronicle, but more on that another time.
As always I love your cover, who is your artist?
ReplyDeleteMe! I am considering possibly offering my services for other Indie's ... designing their cover for ad space or cross promotion or something. I love designing covers, and thinking up concepts. Once I have my story done I start to obsess until I get its 'face' perfect, lol :)
ReplyDeleteWell, you let me know when you're ready girl! I am working on the concept for my vampire series atm. :-)
ReplyDeleteCool! Once you're ready to start thinking of the cover email me penelopejfletcher@googlemail.com
ReplyDeleteI need to pay better attention - I hadn't realised that this was coming out! I've just bought my copy and I can't wait to start reading it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'd like to ask you to design my cook cover. I have an image but, after that, I'm lost!
I'll drop you a line and we can talk concepts, moods, and monies ;)
