I have some news. I just finished publishing my new novel, Wild Princes.
Synopsis:
Welcome to Sleeping Beauty Inc.!
Book One: Rose Red - You can't buy a girl! But in the year 2214, you can. She can whip you into shape, design your diet, be your personal stylist, and turn you from geek to chic in just one year. What will happen if your model isn't what they promised?
Book Two: Sleeping Prince - You shouldn't let a woman buy you! Gage is a solarship pilot who transports Sleeping Beauty Inc. models between the moons of Jupiter. His favorite is a model named Iona. She has a contract for him. Dare he refuse?
Book Three: Beauty of Ares - Tired of hiring temporary models? Why not try an arranged marriage through Sleeping Beauty Inc.'s Gold Edition catalog? Look no further than Lisbet. She's the daughter of an 'old money' diamond merchant. She'll dazzle your contact list with her wave of black hair and her violet eyes. She'll even travel to Mars, a place infamous for its cruelty toward purchased models. After her father sells her to Vantz Bloomburg, she'll do anything.
Book Four: Goldilocks Zone - Welcome to Venus! On the floating panels of the yellow planet, they're hosting Goldilocks Zone. It's a game show, reality TV, and a beauty pageant all rolled into one! Ornette is a Sleeping Beauty Inc. model who has disobeyed her owners so many times that her left hand has been burned black. How will she compete in a game show where the object is to impress Papa Bear, Uncle Bear, and Brother Bear, but a man named Desmond, like the Cheshire Cat, keeps appearing to turn her heart upside down?
Book Five: Wild Princes - Once upon a time, there was a King and a Queen who longed for a child. The Queen prayed to ten magical fairies, and each one of them granted her wish because she gave birth to ten princes... Not really. Far in the future, ten baby boys were born as part of a genetic experiment, and after the scientists were gunned down, each of the boys went wild in his own way. Join each of the princes as they have a single adventure of their own. Start the book with the Prince of Ocean Spray and finish the book with the Prince of Time.
With that said, there are a few new things about this book. For one thing, I used to start every new Sleeping Beauty Inc. book with pretty much entirely new characters, so the audience didn't need to know what happened in the previous books. It was nice if they knew, but it wasn't mandatory. This book pretty much throws that whole concept out the window. If you haven't at least read Sleeping Prince, you're gonna have a bad time. Well, maybe not a BAD time, but you won't get the full scope of the stories. It will definitely be more fun if you've read the other books.
Next, this book was not posted to Inkitt, Quotev, Royal Road, Fictionpress, Scribblehub, or Tapas prior to going up for sale on Amazon, Google Play, Apple Books, Spotify, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Smashwords, Obooko, Free E-books.net, Digilibraries, and all those sites. The thing is, I got really bored with posting to those free sites. Hardly anyone wrote in, I got thousands of soliciting emails from bots, I would come very close to forgetting to post on the days I was supposed to, and other stuff like that.
I just want to write.
And I'm really excited about this book. It's ten short stories about Gage and his 'brothers'. Here's the link for the trailer on YouTube:

I hope each of you will decide to buy it as an ebook, an audiobook, or a paperback!
