I got the first royalty report on Solo Flight recently. Its first month did not draw close to what Hounded by Love did in its first month,
but I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular after my two-year hiatus from
writing. It hadn’t been a planned break, and despite my best made plans, I can’t
promise another extended disappearance isn’t in store in the near future. As a colleague
of mine likes to say “It is what it is.”
I have a wonderful new role within the company I love. The
benefits include doing a job that better suits my skills and personality, but
there are negatives, such as giving up a significant amount of “down time.”
Without this free time, my non-work hours seem shorter than ever.
No, I’m not complaining. Not really. I’m nearly finished with
the first of a three-part story I’m writing with a friend. It’s a het-vampire
series, and with a character from one of the first novels I wrote “back in the
day.” I also have half of the next M/M story written, and another on the back
burner based off of a special submission call I saw on the Loose Id loop.
I’ll make no promises on what will be the next one I submit
for publishing, but completing one will be high on the priority list. As are
the former Silver Publishing stories – I hope to get them reprinted sometime
this year, either independently, or with a trusted publisher. I’ll let you know
as soon as plans firm up.
In the meantime, dear Readers, thank you for those of you
who’ve taken the chance on Solo Flight. I
enjoyed writing it, and I hope that its untraditional theme resonates with some
of you like it did for me. Perhaps I should write more on that. But later.
Remind me.
May the forth be with you, dear Readers. Have a great month!
~Pia
