1/26/23 --- Preorders for Beta's Bliss are live!
As the title suggests, preorders for Beta's Bliss are live!
I'm still waiting on the final cover, so for the moment I have a placeholder cover. I've set it for a release date of May 1st, although honestly, it'll probably be out in March at the absolute latest. For now, I'm putting it as second priority to Cowmelot, but it's definitely getting some work put into it! I want to have it out as quickly as I can while maintaining quality because this wave of new readers is pretty amazing!
In the past eleven days, I have sold over 250 copies of Alpha's Rejection via Amazon and Kindle Unlimited. This is so much more traffic than I'm used to with a new book and I think it's partially due to the genre and also the sudden influx of Facebook ads that I'm learning to run. The reviews have been great and there are people going out of their way to tell me how much they enjoyed it. I can't even begin to express how happy that makes me!
All that being said, there's a very real possibility that doing books like this could get me to full-time author status much faster. Obviously, I love doing my fantasy books, but if I can go full-time on paranormal romance, I'll have a TON more time to really work on my fantasy books and make them the best they can be. I'll never give that up, but I'm definitely looking at reshuffling my priorities for 2023. I'll fulfill the commitments I've already made, but I might push more romance out for this year and see where I can get with it.
I'm worried some people might see this as a "sell-out" move, but at the same time, I offer you this: If someone offered you a job doing what you love for a decent amount of money, wouldn't you take it? I want to be a writer, I want to do it full-time, and I want to own my own business. This is my dream and I'm gonna take it, no matter what flavor it is. Hopefully, everyone understands that.
So, here's to book #2 of werewolf smut and hopefully even more success!
