LATEST NEWS & UPDATE:

Happy May, y'all!

I know everyone's chomping at the bit to get Artemis's story, and I promise, when it's ready, it'll come (and so will Arte and Xavier! LOL!) but for now, you're just going to have to trust me. Have I ever done you dirty before?

I wanted to give you a quick update on my list of projects. Yup, that's right, I said list. Since I got injured and had to take time off, my attention span and ability to sit in one space for hours on end and binge-write a book just isn't there. So I'm actually going back and forth between a few projects (for the first time EVER,) and I'm hoping this will work out a little better for all of us in the long run.

Now that I've gotten all my paperwork done and ready to submit to my accountant for 24/25, let's talk works in progress (WIPS):

Secret cowrite #1/Classified project: There's no preorder up for this. And very little information has been given out - not even who I'm writing with. But I can tell you that it's a brand new subgenre for me to write in, and it'll be written under Lasairiona Lewis. I've been giving extremely subtle hints about this across my socials, but possibly too subtle for anyone to have noticed yet. We're sitting at 35k words on this one with a developmental edit coming up over the horizon.

Cowrite #2/My Brother's Teammates:

Melissa and I are in the early planning stages for Harrison and Megan's story. We'd love to get it drafted and into edits this year if we can. But I wanted to let y'all know that we're going to be working toward a sequel, and that it's going to be a menage story as well because #whychoose? We're also getting shiny new covers made up for both books. I'm super psyched.

Charity Halloween Anthology:

I signed up to write a Cedar Rapids Raccoons short story for a great cause. It's up for preorder and will be released on Halloween. Who it's about is as much of a surprise to me as it is to all of you right now, but I'll keep you posted. Meanwhile, hit the link to preorder!

Rugby book 1:

Book one is off to a good start. I just passed the 12.5k word mark and am cruising toward 15k. My developmental edit is booked in with Editor Jess for July, and I can't wait for her to shred it into oblivion so I can make it the best damn story I can before y'all get it.

Cedar Rapids Protocol 1:

My Ream exclusive novel, Surprise Protocol, just hit the 22.5k word mark and is ticking along nicely. It's a poly, MMF novel featuring Maddie from Cora and Sterling's story in Resist. Cora and Paige have appeared in Maddie's book, and the dynamic trio are getting up to no good.

For those of you who can't possibly wait another single second to read what I'm writing, two of my wips (Surprise Protocol and Fly Half) are uploaded to my subscription platform chapter by chapter, week by week. There are also exclusive bonus scenes over there as well.

Those are all the irons I have in the fire at the moment. Having multiple projects on the go right now definitely seems to be fueling my creativity in a way that I need, considering all that I've been through lately. It's nice to have forward motion after a period of stagnation.

I'm heading on vacation this weekend, a week in the sun, and I can't freakin' WAIT!! It's our first family holiday since 2019, and it's long overdue.

Whatever you do this weekend, I hope you all have a great time.

Until next time,

My Puckin' Luck by Zee Irwin
