As I type this, Lavender Rose is in final beta before being officially published. I’m tweaking the cover, and minor changes have been made to the manuscript.
Why am I doing this? ‘Cause it’s a good story, and I’ve had multiple requests to get it out there. 🙂 So I spent the weekend going over it and sent it to my betas Sunday night.
That’s the good news. The bad is I’ve removed it from the blog. It’s no longer a free read. So sorry! But Amazon has a “thing” about stuff posted on a blog suddenly showing up as a book for sale, and rightfully so. This I won’t complain about because it’s Amazon making sure plagiarism doesn’t happen.
With luck, it’ll be available in a week or two. I’ll let ya know. 🙂
Yay! I am too lazy to read unedited blog fiction, lol
Surprisingly, it didn’t need much editing. I was rather pleased at how well it hung together. 🙂
As always, I’m looking forward to reading the new (to me) words when they are available. It also shows that I might want to work on my (lack of) curiosity. I rarely if ever look for free reads on author’s blogs/sites. Makes me wonder what (else) I may be missing out on. Whether that will make me take the time to check out various authors blogs in a search for free reads remains to be seen. :).
It had been a while since I read this one, and I was surprised to realize I was dealing with bisexuality and someone who cross-dresses. Forerunner to Transgression?
I don’t search out free reads either. Why is that??? I mean, it’s stupid, really, isn’t it? I finally bought Numbers though!
That is my favorite short story EVER. And it’s funny.
I keep hearing that.
Loved Tristan
🙂 He’s terrific.
Ebooks are so cheap anyway. Looking forward to it. Reading Precog in Peril now. Possibly a back to back if the timing is right.
It will be published as soon as I get it back from the betas. I’m thinking this weekend. 🙂
Ah, Lavender Rose was my first Theo Fenraven story! I loved it, hated waiting for the next installment so shall be eagerly awaiting release!! Great to visit Tristan again.
🙂 I know I enjoyed reading about him again.
Excellent news and I like the others here don’t look for free reads on blogs, how daft are we. Still Lavender Rose what a beautiful title.
There’s a story behind that title. Maybe I’ll tell it one day. 🙂
This is awesome news. I e-mailed you for this after I had read your short story ‘Four Minutes’, which I still think is an absolutely excellent story by the way. Anyways, I enjoyed Lavender Rose so much and would highly recommend it. It was simply excellent. Well worth reading and definitely worth purchasing.
Thanks, Karen. Four Minutes is my second favorite short story, after Numbers. Both just sort of flowed out of me. So rare, and very wonderful, when that happens.
Oh, great news. I have finished reading “Transgression” and last night, “Wolf Bound.” Really enjoyed these two different novels. I will get “Lavender Rose.” BTW, I first read “Precog in Peril” and was thrilled to find a new author I like very much.
Terrific! Always love it when someone enjoys what I write. 🙂
Congrats and well done, Theo! 😀
Thanks! 🙂
Good luck! I really liked that story, and I’m excited to see what you’ve done with it. The new cover is great.
Thanks! *fingers crossed*
