It's a rewrite! I always wanted to make it a full novel, and now I finally have.

IIRC there was some family drama he needed/wanted help sorting out. I don't recall what at this point, but I'm sure I could figure it out. But he was not chosen as the love interest for that story, so his drama fell by the wayside once the final choice was voted on. But yeah, I can definitely see about doing something for him.
Megan Derr
Those poor stories, I never meant for them to fall by the wayside. I'm planning to pick up Cold Moon this month, now that I'm not drowning in work quite as much.
Butterfly I'll probably move to Patreon here shortly, b/c I would really like to finish that poor story and series. I'm sorry I'm so flaky about this.

There is one more Tournament book planned, The Challenge of Failures. I just need to finish other stuff first before it gets its turn.
Megan Derr
Yes! I have them planned for each brother. I had actually started the second one immediately after I finished H&P, but then the stupid thing stalled out on me. I'm working on something else right now, but once that's finished I will tackle Nighthawk again and see if it's decided to finally frickin cooperate. I apologize for the delay! I know I'm not very good at just sticking with one series until it's done.
Megan Derr
I'm sorry, it's not done yet. My AH stories haven't really done well overall, so they unfortunately get backburnered for other stories. I will finish it though, I promise
Megan Derr
I'm trying, I swear. Things fell apart of me and I've never been able to catch back up but I do have the first couple chapters of Berserker written, I'm just trying to get a certain number done before I start posting them
Megan Derr
Coree is book 4! The next three books are Berserk (which I'm working on getting several chapters of done before I start posting it), then Sineater, then Wintermark.
They will all be poly, that's their culture and a core component of the books overall.

Megan Derr
They are not around anywhere, as I have to rewrite them to adjust to the changes I made when I rewrote the whole series, but there is a future book of short stories they will be in
Megan Derr
I will do my best, but audiobooks have been nothing but a pain for me lately and there are other things I have to devote the funds to right now.

Kaltin was not on my list, but I'll see what I can do!

I do want to write a story for Engel! Thank you for reading! <3

I'm going to resume their story once I finish The Prince's Wife on Patreon. It's a free story, anyone at all can read it. After I finish them, I don't have any further High Court plans.
Megan Derr
It's a rewrite. Sorry, you're right, I do usually put that somewhere and just completely forgot. This is a rewrite. The overall story is exactly the same, I just changed how some things happened. If you bought the previous version, just email meganaderr@gmail.com and I'm happy to give you the new one.
Megan Derr
I can't believe I never replied to this, I thought I had. This means a lot to me, even now a year later. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Megan Derr
I have it up for pre-order on amazon now, so it should automatically go to GR in the next day or so. LMK if it doesn't.
Megan Derr
I have one more book to go in PotB, I hope to start writing it this year. I do not have a release date atm, but when I know more I'll let people know!
Megan Derr
That depends on the book. Anywhere from six months to two years. Novella and novel length I do about a chapter a months, so thirteen chapters is thirteen months. Short stories I break down into parts, those are usually just a handful of months.

A few days ago he made this post: https://ryan-field.blogspot.com/2022/...
Following something that happened on FB (a post I couldn't see, but have seen screenshots of). In that post, author Hal Bodner said that gay men should band together to pressure publishers into no longer publishing MM books by women.
https://twitter.com/meganaderr/status...
Ryan Field agreed with him. Shortly after he made the above post.
While I agree there is a discussion to be had about fetishization of gay men in MM Romance, I absolutely do not tolerate, to any degree, driving out an entire group simply because of their gender.
Moreover, Field and Bodner ignore that MM romance is not just straight women writing guy on guy action. It's many things to many people, including safe space for women, a place to explore and be themselves for queer people and people currently questioning who and what they really, and so much more.
Bodner and Field have proven they are not safe to be around. If they're this willing to go after fellow authors, there's no telling how much worse they'll be to readers.

I'm working on the edits for Fallen King now. It'll be out April at the latest.
The sequel to Tournament is in progress. It actually updates today on my Patreon. Once it's finished there, I'll publish it like usual, same as all my books. It's called Quest of Fools.
