A Dream Come True

Technically the contract for my Torquere Press novel "A Dream Come True" expires today. I imagine, it'll still be available through the end of the month since that seems to have been the pattern for the short stories as they expired, but yeah, technically the first edition of that story is no longer available for sale. A second edition will be forthcoming, but not until July or later. Below is a copy/paste of info I posted to a thread in the M/M readers group on Goodreads a few weeks ago. It'll answer a few questions about when/how/where you can expect to see the second edition of "A Dream Come True," as well as the other stories in the Dream Series, etc.

What's new? Well, as for actually new-new...nothing, but stuff is still happening. Old contracts are expiring, and I'm freshening up old stories to varying degrees with revisions, additions and reedits. I'm uploading second editions directly to distributors.

Currently second editions of all ten of my short stories are available individually at All Romance Ebooks, 1 Place for Romance, Amazon Kindle, Smashwords, and several others via Smashwords.

The first two stories in the Dream Series will be expiring this year in February and July. I already have the rights to the third story in the series, so after my Another Dream contract expires in July I'll release heavily reworked second editions of the three stories together in a single volume ("Dreams"?).

Cultivating Love expires in June (assuming the contract doesn't get renewed). For the second edition, other than correcting a typo I've noticed I'm thinking of inserting a couple scenes from an additional point of view (Stan) to take care of a couple problems: to clear up the question of his motivations, and to slow down the pace of the action toward the end of the book.

There are a couple reasons I want to put the three stories of the Dream series together in a single volume. One, so new readers will read them in order. While this isn't critical, it is helpful. The other reason is the first two stories are very short novels--some publishers might even have called them novellas--and the third story is a novelette. Together they are a good length that I can consider print (through Createspace?) as an option in addition to re-release as an ebook. For this reason I'm also thinking of combining Cultivating Love's second edition with all the short stories ("Cultivating Love and Other Stories"?) and ditching the sale of the individual short stories. So, if things go as planned, sometime in the second half of the year all my stuff will be available in just two volumes in your choice of ebook or print.
