I’ve just uploaded a ficlet in the Living Fae series to my Free Stuff page. It’s called The Party and was written for a Dreamwidth group who celebrate Monsterfest every October. This week’s prompt was Shifters and whilst I don’t see the shifters in my stories as monsters in any sense, the story immediately sprang to mind. This was pleasing because I have recently had a dearth of ideas…

I won’t be writing during November despite the common Nanowrimo vibe of the month, mainly because I’ll be concentrating on reformatting a novel for Smashwords. Cue groan. I moved The Skilled Investigators into KU and of course had to remove them from Smashwords. I realised I’d have to change the back matter in my books to reflect the fact that from a Smashwords point of view The Skilled Investigators no longer exists. Oh well, I thought, I might switch back again or I might move other books, and I might write more. So I carefully, or so I thought, composed a section for the back matter that told people how and where to find my books without committing the heinous crime of mentioning Amazon on Smashwords or vice versa. I edited the Smashwords versions with no apparent problems. Then Smashwords assured me that two novels now needed total reformatting before they could be sent to other sites. I’ve done one and had it accepted. Now for the other. It’s very boring and time consuming work but I hope to finish it in November. Meanwhile, the novel is still available on Smashwords but I’m not sure in which formats. And since epub are the ones refusing the new versions, and Amazon are switching from mobi to epub, watch this space. Maybe it’s a good job I have no plot bunnies desperate to be written at the moment!
