YES, the title changed.

Long story very short: trademark trolls.

Title wasn't the same.  Genre wasn't the same. Prior use all over the place ... but some people have a vested interest.

I will not publicize this because quite frankly, the less time I have to spend dealing with this the better, but I felt at the very least there ought to be some word for those of you who haven't been following the drama in other channels.

Could I have fought to keep my original title? Yes, yes I could have. Why didn't I? Math. One has to know when to hold em, and when to fold em.The time and money I'd have spent on it would have outstripped any possible fiscal return, and since this is only one book title rather than the name of the series, it doesn't really impact my branding.

Nothing about the story or its contents has changed, other than the title.

God Willing, this is the last I'll have to hear of or deal with this sort of nonsense.

    Huh... that might explain the weird iss i had after buying it... Werdly after buying it and another book all my purchases failed and I had to contact amazon support to get it fixed as my bank told me that they were not issuing an declines on my credit card. Turned out it was a technical glitsh on amazons side....

Progress report

To be honest, nothing much has changed in the last month ... which is fantastic because I'm about halfway through the next book and progress has been steady. Things are a bit slower than I'd like regardless because I'm working on two projects simultaneously. Book 5 is one, and the other is the start of a new series. I don't YET have dates for when the next few books will be out, but I HOPE to have them both out by the end of September. Progress is also proceeding on book 4's audio (still being narrated by the incomparable Tess Irondale) so watch out for that in early October. I'd say September, but Audible takes a month to publish anything even after all the work's been done and it's submitted to the store, so I REALLY can't give any dates out on that. One of you guys asked about my Send Me An Angel project, and given the results of the beta read on that, I've shelved it for now. Not only does it need a new cover, but it probably needs to

(UPDATE: Was able to get my account back. Doesn't make me any less annoyed this happened ((particularly just a few days after the launch of a book)) but yeah, I was able to prove I am who I say I am. Go team.) Fuckerberg is messing with me. Let me splain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up: I still have full time employment with a company that has granted me - as part of my job duties - access to equipment that processes BILLIONS of dollars worth in business. Each day. My trustworthiness and squeaky clean record (I used to hold the highest clearance this country grants to its military) is preeeeeetty much as important if not MORE important than my actual skills doing the job - which after twenty years are pretty fckin' magical if I do say so myself. So they wouldn't take it very well if they found out I was writing harem-lit as a side-hustle. All that to say I cannot reveal my name in a public forum. Which Facebook is. Thus I write and post under Cebelius
