...of summer, for those of you with kinkier leanings.
The heat is shimmering from the roads, and the haziest of blue hugs every treeline. Cicadas are calling in ever louder voices. Yep, with sweat trickling and stinging one’s eyes, it’s that luxurious part of summer. Can you tell I’m not a cold-weather person?
Well, no matter the outside temps at home, from wherever my wanderings take me, I’m continuing to move newer works through The Yards. No impact on SOL flow; those are locked in through early 2027, but rough drafts need polishing, and the muses continue to work their magic, ensuring even more steamy wirdz shall get skribbled by yours truly.
As far as the current content, it’s interesting that “Aiden’s Challenge” is not so popular here. The novel’s been flying off the internet shelves. Perhaps the chapter every two-week slot is turning readers away. Plus, that is a common lot for many a last book of a trilogy. Shrug.
On the other hand, both “Good Mommy” and “The Conqueror’s Rise” are doing well everywhere. Yippee. The latter’s spiritual successor, “Slutty Mommy,” is slated to launch next summer, and the main character is even, well, sluttier. “The Conqueror’s Leap” left the rough draft stage earlier this summer and should land on e-shelves later next year. Fingers crossed, since about a dozen other novels and novellas remain ahead of it in The Yards.
All of which means plenty of good stuff is on its way. Patience is a virtue, etcetera, etcetera.
As always, my warmest hugs to those of you providing kind words, leaving reviews and scores, plus purchasing works to fuel the muses’ bourbon addiction. You’re all amazing.
Ivey.
