I did it again... I forgot to write a newsletter at the beginning of July. I don't know if I'm happy or sad to say there hasn't been much going on in June, but July has picked up with a flurry of activity. Or it feels like it is a flurry.
I'll start with a run down and update regarding apps and books signed with them recently. In the past couple of months, I've signed with the following apps:
iSupernovel - They want both versions of book 1 of my werewolf series. BL - The Male Omega's Awaking; the straight version - The Omega's Awakening
This is more of an agency than an app even though they do have an app, and they will help get my book out there with the other new apps as they come out. It will give me some relief in researching the new platforms and taking the time to try to build a relationship with them. All things which are taking a lot of my time, when I could be writing.
iStory - I've signed the straight version of my werewolf book there, The Omega's Awakening
iReader - Again, I've signed the straight version of my werewolf book there, The Omega's Awakening
KISS - This app required me to submit several chapters for them for a formal review process. If they don't like your work, you don't hear back from them. I was so excited when I got the notification I had passed, and they wanted the full book. I've signed the contract and have sent them the full document, but it isn't on the app yet. When it becomes available, it will be The Omega's Awakening.
NovelClub - I was approached by a representative from the platform wanting several of my books. I have signed two books: (BL) The Male Omega's Awaking and (BL) For Three Weeks Only. They wanted another one, but I wanted to wait and see how the first two go before I sign and upload book three. I have to say the experience hasn't been that good so far, which is why I looked at going with the agency to handle and avoid the hassles I was going through.
.
I think that is all the updates for apps. If I've missed something, I apologize, and it isn't intentional. The various apps seem to blur together anymore.
As for the comic version of The Male Omega's Awaking, it has been put on hold for a bit. I need to set aside a certain amount of time each day to work on the boards for me to send them to the artist. I forget about it and then the comic stalls. But I'm not delaying it forever. I will get it done, even if it takes a year. My goal is to also put it on Kindle and provide paperback versions too. Another author has been talking about coloring books, and that has stuck in my head. Only time will tell how much of it I will actually get accomplished.
Now onto new books I've started recently. I've recently signed the straight version of Kitty's Secrets. The hetro version is called Her Secret, The Billionaire's Heir. It is currently only available on GoodNovel.

I have to confess I'm having a hard time converting it. Some of the things don't sound as good when working with male and female leads. It comes off a little corny, but I'm still moving ahead. I'm hoping the readers don't get turned off by it. I guess I'll soon find out.
Also, I've entered in a BL contest on Inkitt. I had started a fanfic on Wattpad to celebrate Triage finally airing and TaeTee having the main BL couple role. I decided to take that fanfic and switch out the names to Trevor and Thad (just to be on the safe side) and enter the contest. I only have one chapter up so far on Inkitt, but I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for the best. If you would like to support me, I would appreciate any and all support provided.

By the way, I absolutely love this picture of Tae. I'm still going to use the cover since the book is free on Inkitt, but if it causes a problem, I'll change it out later.
Some may have noticed, I have uploaded some chapters from my mystery book, To Protect the Crown. I didn't send out notifications because I didn't want to annoy everyone. After the first few chapters, the rest have been 'locked' so to speak. You have to contribute something before you can view them. Due to contracts, I can't allow the chapters to be free to read, but I haven't required a lot to view them either. You have to contribute only once to gain access to them.
I will continue to load the other chapters over the next week or so. Then I'll move onto another book and continue uploading them here. If you have a particular book, you want loaded next, which has been removed from Wattpad, please let me know.
I've got plenty planned for the coming month, but I'll save it for the next newsletter just in case I don't get to it. Thank you for your support and I greatly appreciate it.
Love,
Darc
