All right, friends and fans, it’s time for me to come clean.
A lot of you have been asking when you could expect to read Sins of the Warrior, the fourth and final book in the Grigori Legacy series. If you thought you sensed a certain reticence on my part with regard to an answer, you were right.
You see, there’s been some uncertainty surrounding the book’s future. Not about whether or not it will get written (I’m working on it, I promise!), but about how and when it will be published. Despite the amazing support of you, my readers, the Grigori Legacy didn’t quite find the large audience that it needed in order to continue with Penguin USA, my current publisher.
Though Penguin will continue to publish the first three books in the series, the question became what to do with the series finale, Sins of the Warrior. And I’m pleased to announce that — at last — I have an answer.
Many of you will already know that I’ve been posting Gwynneth Ever After as a free serial read on Wattpad. I’ve been calling this my Great Wattpad Experiment, and I must say that I have been blown away by the results. So much so that I’ve decided to move into a whole new Wattpad phase.
Yup, that’s right. Starting next week, you’ll be able to read Sins of the Warrior — a chapter at a time and in its beta state — on Wattpad. For free.
My reasons for taking this path are threefold:
- You guys have been incredibly awesome and patient and supportive. I think you’ve waited long enough (more than!), and releasing the story as it’s written is my way of saying thank you for that patience and support.
- Committing to the release of a chapter or two every week will provide me with the impetus I need to finish the story. I write better when faced with accountability of some kind. You’re now that accountability.
- I’m also hoping new readers will find the story on Wattpad and become fans of the series, because…well, sexy bad-ass warrior angels, amiright? 😉
Now, I want to be very, very clear on the whole beta aspect. While I tend to edit my writing as I go, Sins of the Warrior is a work in progress and will not be in its fully polished state. There will be errors, there may be omissions, there could even be plot holes big enough to drive a semi through. Feel free to point those things out in the comments section on Wattpad. Just remember that while your input is welcome and valuable to me, it won’t necessarily result in a change to the story.
When the story is complete, it will disappear from Wattpad, undergo a complete editing process (substantive, copyedit, and proofread), and then be released in e-book format for purchase if you would like to have a finished copy.
So there you have it, my friends — Sins of the Warrior will make its online debut next week with the first two chapters, and I will be adding one to two chapters every week after that. If you’d like to read this beta version of the story, follow me on Wattpad, and you’ll be notified whenever a new chapter is added.
I am so hoping you like this rather mad idea of mine…please do leave me a comment below to let me know your thoughts! 😉
Hugs,
