Way back in 2005, I start writing a novel. Certainly not my first novel ever, but it turned out the first one I would ever get published. It was called Nightwalker.
Nightwalker was the first book in the Dark Days series, and it followed the adventures of a fire-wielding vampire by the name of Mira and her love/hate relationship with vampire hunter Danaus. Nightwalker was published by HarperCollins in 2018. It actually sat on the New York Times extended bestseller list and USA Today bestseller list for four weeks. The series had six novels and two novellas.
Afterward, I went on to published another series, Asylum Tales, which was about a warlock-in-hiding turned tattoo artist named Gage and his elf tattoo artist girlfriend. They also had a friend/coworker troll named Bronx.
Well, at the start of the month, I got the rights back for all of those books!
That means I can go back, make some editing tweaks, slap some more current covers on them, and re-release them!
It also means that I could potentially add to them and write some spin-offs. There’s also the potential for audiobooks and translations.
Right now, my hope is to have Nightwalker revised and edited in time to celebrate its 20th anniversary in the fall. After that, I’d like to regularly release the rest of the series. All of Dark Days would start out in Kindle Unlimited since it has never been in there before. I’m not sure about spin-offs, but in my opinion, Dark Days series is complete.
However, I would like to revamp Asylum Tales. The series was supposed to have more books and end very differently. After Dark Days is re-released, I would start work on Asylum Tales.
Now, Dark Days and Asylum Tales were written originally as MF (though both Mira and Gage are bi) and they are staying MF.
Will I write more MF after I revise these books? I honestly don’t know. Right now, my passion is for MM. I’m happy in my little niche here. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t be happy writing both.
Lots of exciting things on the horizon.
Happy reading & stay tuned for more news!
