You may have noticed, things have been a little hectic the last few months and some of the books we talked about releasing on certain days got pushed back a couple of times. As some of you may know from reading Michael’s author notes, a couple months ago, we lost one of our editors. We are training new ones, but it has put the production schedule up in the air and has resulted in books being pushed back.
Because things are still in flux, we won’t be doing an August Preorder release email this month. I figured it would be safer to not promise dates that I know may get pushed back. We’ll still tease them as often as we can at the bottom of the emails, just no extra email this month.
I have 7 brilliant books launching this week and one of those has been out for a day already and the rest are all on preorder! That’s pretty sweet for a Monday!
- Witch With An Enemy
- Sorcery in San Francisco
- The Nightmare Awakens
- Guardians of Tristholm
- The Kindling Burns
- Striking Gold
- The Surgeon’s Scalpel
Two new series this week! Isn’t that great? And one of these series launches LMBPN’s new imprint, Marlow and Vane. I’m sure we’ll be telling you more about that soon!
