What’s Next
Posted by Ella Ardent
I mentioned to you earlier that I had another story to write before starting the Phoenix Series. That story is called Dangerous and I’m having a terrific time writing it.
Dangerous is a dark erotic romance, with bdsm and suspense. It will be published this summer in nine bi-weekly digital installments. When it’s complete, all the installments will be gathered into one volume, which will be available in print and digital in December.
I’ll let you know when I have a start date and more details to share.

The Plume: The Third Anthology
Posted by Ella Ardent
Here’s the cover for the third Plume Anthology.
Isn’t it pretty? This anthology will include Flashback, Switch and Celebration. It’ll be available in a digital edition and also a trade paperback edition. Right now, it’s available at Createspace in print, but will perk through to other portals, probably by the end of the month.
Celebration
Posted by Ella Ardent
Welcome to the Plume – where members are bound by desire and fantasies come true…
Debts are settled and new beginnings are launched in this culmination of the Plume Series. As the former members of the private BDSM club locate each other and undertake an initiative of their own, Athena plans a party to celebrate her new venture. Joanna and Mike will be getting married, even if Joanna’s newest idea is causing Mike some concern. Rex finds new hope in unexpected places, even before he’s presented with a gift that will both thrill and challenge him in the years ahead.
Available at Amazon.
Available at Amazon.co.uk.
Available at All Romance eBooks.
Available at Barnes & Noble.
Available at KOBO.
Available at Smashwords.
Also will be available at Apple and Sony.
btw, I’ve learned something new. My formatter uploads a lot of content directly to Apple, and she said their new rules (from February) require for erotica to have its first category as Fiction-Erotica-General. (These categories mirror BISAC codes, which define the appropriate category for any given work. That tells retailers how to list or shelve books.) Smashwords allows books to have two categories. I’d chosen Fiction-Erotica-General as the second category for Switch, because I didn’t think the order mattered. Maybe it does. I fixed the categories for Switch when she told me that, and have published Celebration with that category first. We’ll see if it turns up in the iTunes store faster as a result. I hope so!

Celebrate!
Posted by Ella Ardent
Celebration has gone to be formatted for publication. The formatter is ready to jump right on it, so I’m hoping to start publishing it before Monday.
YAY! This novella is almost 45,000 words, so you’ll have a longer read this time.
Stay tuned for links etc. Right now, I’m going to have a glass of wine – why don’t you join me and celebrate, too?

Update!
Posted by Ella Ardent
Phew! You’ll all be glad to know that Celebration is very very close. (I’m certainly glad!) I have to go through the whole story one last time, probably add a bit here and there, then will get it to the formatter on Friday. I’ve asked her to do us all a big favor and turn it around quickly, so fingers crossed that there’s time in her schedule for that.
Right now, it’s looking like Celebration will be about 40,000 words in length. The other Plume novellas have been around 30,000 words, but there were lots of loose ends to tie up on this one. I’ve run out of Post-it notes on my desk, and no characters have whispered in my ear for a few days, so I think we’ve got it all covered.
I’ll let you know when it’s published. It’ll go to all the portals roughly at the same time, but will go live at ARe and Smashwords first (because they have no review process), then Amazon, KOBO and B&N. Apple will bring up the rear, as usual.
Thanks again for your patience and I hope you find the final installment of the Plume Series was worth the wait!
Next up will be the anthology of the last three Plume books, in both print and digital. Look for that in June, as I still need to have a cover designed.

Progress
Posted by Ella Ardent
Well, things are moving along here, but not quickly enough to make anyone happy. I’ve been working through the earlier 8 novellas in the Plume series to make sure I don’t miss anything with Celebration. Thanks to all of you for your patience – I certainly didn’t think this would take so long.
Part of it is wanting to make sure everything is tied up in the last installment, part of it is not wanting to say goodbye and part of it is that things have just been nutty around here.
I am getting close but will tell you when Celebration goes to the formatter. Then it will be just a day or so away.

And I’m Back!
Posted by Ella Ardent
Two bits of good news for you today. Not only have I crawled back to the land of the living, but Joanna told me what was wrong with SWITCH. She’s brilliant, but her idea means rewriting or revising everything about her and Mike in the novella.
I’m hoping for publication this Thursday. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, I’ve uploaded everything directly to KOBO. It was so easy that I could even do it when I was sick.
Here’s hoping none of you have caught this virus.
