Hi everyone! So sorry I haven’t posted lately, things have been so crazy here!
It’s
official: Could Have Been (Feathered
Tartan 4) went live on Extasy Books on May 3, 2024, and it hit Amazons
around the world on May 10th (I think!). It’s now on Barnes &
Noble (for Nook and in paperback!), and on GoodReads. It should be available on
other spots sometime soon. Sometimes it takes a few days – or weeks – for things
to show up if they’re published via Draft2Digital, I know that from experience
with Checkout Love, which hasn’t gone live (perma free) on all sites yet to my
knowledge.
Keep
watching my Books2Read profile for it being available in your favorite online
store here: https://books2read.com/ap/8Z2M9o/VJ-Allison
Find

FIVE
STARS??? Woo hoo!!!
Scribes Tribune
As
everyone knows, I’m a founding member of the multi-author, multi-genre
newsletter, Scribes’ Tribune.
Our
April issue went live on April 28, 2024, and we had at least 10 to 15 new
authors participating… And May’s issue looks like it’s going to be even bigger!
We even added a publisher’s corner for any Indie/smaller presses that want to
share their submission guidelines (if they’re open) and any sales they may
have. Thank you so much, Extasy Books,
for participating as one of our first publishers in that new area of the
newsletter! We hope to see that area grow over time, like the amount of
participating authors.
Authors,
if you are with a smaller, independent press, and would like to see them
participate in Scribes’ Tribune, ask
them – and maybe even volunteer to write their blurb for them! It’s a great way
to show off the amazing smaller, independent presses, and their author lineup
too.
We
also have an official website now! I had a lot of fun setting it up and getting
ideas for it from Xek and Dawn, my co-founders. We’ll be adding to it in time,
including back issues on the blog, for starters. Check it out!!

Logos
I’m
currently working on a new, updated logo for the Feathered Tartan series, one that features something closer to what
I had envisioned when I realized the series should have its own logo. Now
whether or not I’ll have it done by the time the series is finished – two books
to go! – is up in the air. I’m trying to draw it myself, using my renewed love
of drawing and more. I may even do it in watercolor on paper then scan it into
the computer… I have to see if I can do it though.
Feathered Tartan Book 5
I
have officially dropped the working (and hopefully final) title of Feathered Tartan Book 5 (Lauren and
Joshua’s happy ever after), it was announced publicly on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
during the Could Have Been Release
Day party.
The
title of Feathered Tartan 5 is…
His Reasons
to Fight.
I
have already shared an unedited version of the blub in a few areas that are not
public, so if you have read the blurb, please do not share it with anyone, no
matter how much they demand it. (I’ll ban/block anyone who shares it without my
written permission).
I’m
still trying to get moving in it, but I always have to take a break after I get
a book out there, due to being a bit drained from all of the editing, and more
that goes into getting a book out there. I’m so glad Extasy Books provides
editors, else I’d be in deep trouble….
Feathered Tartan 6 and Series Wrap Up
Feathered
Tartan 6 will be the final book in the series. To be honest, it’s time to end
it, and move on to other projects, like a new venture with a friend, a couple
of standalones I’m planning, and a new series I have in its development stages.
I know I said there would be at least 7 books in the series, but I think once
Book 6 is out, everyone’s stories will be told, and it’s time to say goodbye to
the amazing ensemble – leads, secondary, and all other characters – who made up
the cast of my first ever series.
I
will be making a formal announcement on the title of Book 6 the day that His
Reasons to Fight (Book 5) goes live at Extasy Books. It may be a while, so
please be patient. Thanks!
Thank you so much to everyone at Extasy Books (Tina, Jay, Angie, Jon, Amber, Trish and more) for their love and support, and giving me a chance with Stricken, and all of my readers, friends and fellow authors for their love and support. If it wasn’t for all of you, I wouldn’t be the author I am today… Seven years, seven books out, two in the process of being written, and two Editor’s Choice seals on my books so far.
Have
a fantastic week everyone! Wela’lin
and much love from Nova Scotia Canada.
