Update on "Let It Bleed"

Or, Please Don't Kill Me, But...

My plan was to post the free download of the new WVMP novella (Book 3.5) today, on Ciara's 29th birthday. I announced it about five weeks ago, before I knew that the nagging cold I had would turn into a two-month-long sinus infection. May has been insane, as I've been trying to finish Book 4, LUST FOR LIFE, for my publisher by the end of the month (not negotiable), promote the May 1 release of SHINE (slightly more flexible but also not negotiable), and get adequate sleep so that my sinus infection wouldn't turn into bronchitis or pneumonia (absolutely positively NOT negotiable, according to my body).

Something had to give, and since you and the characters deserve nothing but my best work, I can't in good conscience just throw "Let It Bleed" out into the world in its current state. All it needs for reading purposes is one last copyedit and proofread, but to do right by it, I'd like to have a cover, soundtrack, and have it be available in all major ebook formats. In short, I want it to be awesome.

Mega-apologies for the delay, but illness happens, and publisher deadlines trump everything. I promise that it will be worth the wait!

The new planned release date for the free download of "Let It Bleed" is June 26.

WVMP Street Team members will receive a special secret link to "Let It Bleed" a week before the rest of the world. To sign up for the WVMP Street Team, check out the Street Team page.

*dives back into LUST FOR LIFE, which I think you are going to LOVE!*

As long as you're healthy - everything else is secondary - I'm just a bit of a geek and was excited that Ciara's bday is the day after mine :D

Not to mention - anything you write - its ALWAYS worth the wait :D
