Wednesday and the Curse of the Pink Moon
Apr 08, 2020 9:00 pm
Dear humans,
There's something in the air... or there was last night. The male went to bed early. The female went to bed right on time, thus staying up several hours later than she normally does. The skies are gray.
The female has a headache and her internal organs are attempting to stage a coop. Do coops involve chickens? Why must the English language insist on mugging other languages for their loose grammar in dark alleys?
I fear we may never know.
On the subject of chickens, the female would very much prefer chickens to play with rather than her internal organs staging a coop. She does not like her biological gender today. Let's leave it at that.
Onto some fun stuff! Today, I get to show you the main chunk of the Royal States cover art! It's so pretty. Rebecca Frank is the artist, and the female loves everything about the covers.
See, pretty? There will be more soon. Runaway is the next confirmed Royal States novel. The Vampire of Montana will be the first Agents of the Royal States novel. Taken is being changed to be a novel. It outgrew its britches. I mean, it had already done that. But considering it's a hair from being a full-length novel (by that, we mean a hundred words,) we're counting it as a full-length novel. As such, the preorder will soon read Taken: a Royal States Novel. It won't be added to the main series listing, though. (We'd have to renumber everything, so it'll live happily on its own as a spinoff novel with any other spinoff novels the female concocts.)
The female might even add in an extra scene or a chapter just for fun just to securely boot it into the 'actual novel' territory, which is 50,000+ words versus its current 49 and change words. This would not be a trying or a difficult task. In fact, she might enjoy it a great deal. That would raise the price to $4.99 after release, but she won't adjust that until after its release.
We'll see what the editor's editorial notes say!
Please note there will be one more Pat-centric short novel in the future. He has a very trying life between his wife and herd of children, and sometimes, he just needs to kidnap an RPS agent and escape for a while. And then play a very elaborate game of hide-and-go seek with his easily irritated wife.
I'm 100% the female can write an entire novel dedicated to these shenanigans.
We'll label this from the department of "Yes, yes he would do that."
This is far more newish than these things are going to be. Oops! I would be sorry except... I am cat, hear me RAWR!
For Bookbub users: Bonds is a bookbub deal for today. If you use the site, give a click and show some love? Pretty please? Perhaps with cherries on top? If you aren't a Bookbub user, you can find it on the cheap at the primary vendors. It has kittens. KITTENS, I tell you.
Paint me like a French girl.
What? What? Come on, I'm cute so you should want to paint me, and I was born too pretty (and soft) for clothing.
I see you have a dire lack of puns over there, so please allow me to pun you for a few minutes. It makes the female happy.
This was shamelessly stolen, but I am going to provide an earworm AND a pun at the same time with this one: Sweet cheese are made of these, who am I to dis a brieeeee...
Yeah. We're really not sorry. We're otterly not sorry. Otterly insincere about the otter mayhem we're unleashing here. It's a hairy mess, and I expect you will wish to exfurminate the female for permitting me to type these sentences. There is now claws in the human-to-cat contract furbidding such caterwauling.
Should I stop now?
Yeah. Okay. I'll stop. The female needs attention.
For those who need to hear it, yes, it is actually Wednesday. I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting to tell you something, but I'll be back tomorrow to torment you.
Here is another picture as a consolation prize for putting up with me today.
