luninosity:luninosity:luninosity:So, a bit of news!The expanded version of Frost & Raine will be published by JMS Books February 13! *excited flailing*This is my Valentine’s Day, or rather sort of anti-Valentine’s Day (but not really) contemporary paranormal m/m attempt at a romantic comedy! It’s essentially:~a Cupid who works as a divorce lawyer~a Frost spirit who runs a coffee shop~The Grumpy One Is Soft For The Sunshine One~showing love via help with spreadsheets and the purchase of a cactus~eventually, awesome sex~an approving kitchen herb garden~a happy ending, of course!If you’ve read the version on AO3, the *published* version is around 9k longer, just over 40k instead of around 32k - mostly some elements having to do with Raine’s family / Raine’s sex life / more world-building! So really it’s grown by…about a quarter again as long as it was! So you will absolutely get new content!So, what does all that mean? First, like with Character Bleed, there’s already some fan art / lovely comments / interactions / links to fandom that I don’t want to lose, so I’ll probably at least do the ‘registered users only’ lock on the AO3 version once we get closer to the publication date, so it’s not “publicly available” anymore! (Also the sequel won’t ever go up on AO3 - I’m still writing it, and it’s promised to JMS, so I’ll just send it in when it’s finished…)Second, the 40k length is a really interesting one, contractually! Anything 60k or over will (eventually - all printing is delayed right now) get a print edition; anything 40-60k might get a print edition depending on how well the ebook sells during the first six months. (Under 40k, highly unlikely, unless it’s part of a collection or anthology, like the Top Ten or Snowed In or One Night in London books.) So if you might like a print edition of this story to happen…or if you’ve enjoyed it on AO3 and you want to support a Cupid and a Frost spirit and, er, me writing things…perhaps come order a digital copy? (And look at that adorable cover!)The pre-order link is up here at JMS Books now - on sale for 20% off, for pre-orders, so it’s only $3.19!I’ll add the Amazon etc links when I have those!Here’s the Amazon link! And look, it’s #593 in Amazon’s general Gay Fiction category! That’s pretty cool.Out tomorrow!!Release day!! ❄️️ -- source link
