Running advertising, attempting to build a fan base, and finding my niche is time consuming and exhausting, but I'm still here, still kicking, still pumping caffeine into my bloodstream at an alarming rate... and possibly biting people unprovoked... allegedly.
As I finish up the final Keepers & Secrets book... and break more hearts... I wanted to keep everyone apprised of where the world is going and what you can look forward to in the future.
If you've read it, you know that Keepers & Secrets is an intentionally genre bending series, blending YA fantasy, adult fantasy, dark fantasy, comedy, mythology, and action adventure (and if you haven't read it yet, you should give it a try). Each book has been Rue's journey of growing up, the themes, stakes, and tropes becoming more adult and more real with each book. Although Keepers & Secrets is coming to a close very soon, the world and characters will continue.
Upcoming series
Kiya's series - Action/adventure/fantasy/comedy
Exactly what you would expect from our favorite Fae girl as she returns to Faerie and walks the path of her destiny
The Baker's trilogy - Action/fantasy/romantasy
I think it's about time for Tina to stop looking for husband number 12 and finally find someone... maybe her sisters too. Find out who the Bakers really are and what fate has in store for them.
New series - Action/adventure/fantasy/comedy
Set in the aftermath of the Keepers & Secrets series, things have changed. Expect a new main character, some familiar faces, and a lot of interesting information for the journals.
Rue's next series - Action/fantasy/romantasy
A little bit of darkness, a little bit of spice, and a whole lot of -- hahaha! I'm not telling you! This series will follow the events of the K&S series. I can't tell you what it's about, because spoilers. All I can say is that this one's for the grown ups.
I have more ideas rattling around, but these are the ones coming soonest. There's always the possibility that plans might change, but these stories are ready to be written so I don't foresee that part changing. Stick with me, babes and gentlebabes, this adventure is just getting started.
Hopefully you all love this world as much as I do, and if you do, word of mouth is a powerful tool. Tell a friend, loan a book, share a story, discuss your favorite character, leave a review, share a post, make a TikTok or a Reel in Lulu's honor, and help me keep this world alive.
And as always, my friends, I appreciate each and every one of you.
Stay focused, stay pretty, and maybe have a little treat today. You deserve it.
