If you preordered Dimension Drift, then you may have noticed that at the title has moved to launch in 2018! Sorry sorry! Here’s why the change happened…
To begin with, there is good news and bad news. The good news is that Monster House Books has seven launches in 2017! Now for the bad news. To make all these new releases possible, I had to move prequel novella #1 in the Dimension Drift (DD) series to 2018. Why? It all started with the Beholder books, which turned out to be a far darker series than I had ever planned. That became a problem and here’s why:
Christina + dark series = bitch to live with.
When I’m writing dark stuff, I’m really no fun to be around. My family asked me to stop the train to Morose-ville, so I promised them that my next series would be fun-fun-fun. Enter Dimension Drift. DD was going to be a humorous take on the all-too-often ponderous genre of dystopian future. Nothing can go wrong, right?
And then, something did go horribly wrong: the 2016 election cycle.
Suddenly, writing about a dystopian future with any sense of humor got to be a MAJOR challenge for yours truly. All the fun of my previous drafts disintegrated. Getting a single word on the page became downright painful. In the end, I decided to take a break from DD and focus on WOLVES & ROSES (Fairy Tales of the Magicorum) instead. The series combines of shifters, snark, and classics from the Brothers Grimm.
With a little distance, I feel confident that I can get back to the fun side of the DD books. In the meantime, WOLVES & ROSES is definitely a blast to write and while I’m at it, DD is still rattling around my head and ‘wants out,’ so I don’t think I can push it past 2018 anyway.
Long story short, the writing-side of my brain always gets what it wants in the end. Thanks in advance for understanding 🙂
