River City Siren Press

24/09/2023

Postponed but still coming!

October 31 was a very ambitious deadline with two (three? four? - depends how we count) jobs, and as an indy publisher, the deadline was entirely self-imposed. This book will (very sadly) not be in your hands October 31. Hopefully, I can answer all your questions in this post (or in the comments).

How much of the book is written?
-I'm well past the halfway point of this book, but a lot of the big scenes and pivotal reveals are upcoming.

What is the new release date?
-I don't have an official release date, but I think around the one year mark of my first book publication seems like a good ballpark (late April/ early May).

Are you still looking for readers/ a street team?
-Yes! I have a team of 200+ readers. Feel free to join us in the group Geneva Oleander's Readers Group for scenes, updates, and ARC copies.

What other fun news do you have to share with us?
-We are on the brink of officially signing another author at River City Siren Press *fingers crossed.* Stay tuned for more information!

Where can I find your first book?
-Most everywhere books are published but also here:

What's next for me?

"Rift of Realms" is a why choose duology releasing October 31!

What do I need?
*ALPHA readers- readers who will read a draft of my novel around August 1 and provide feedback.

*BETA readers - readers who will a print proof copy in early October and provide feedback.

Blurb:

In the year 2030, World War III wages on Earth. In an effort to secure a weapon to win the war, military scientists unintentionally tear a rift between this realm and a realm of monsters. The war between humans does end, as witches, vampires, fae, shifters, and merfolk come through the rift and remake the world.

A hundred years later, a new battle is beginning: a battle against the dark magic of the shadowborn. As the fates of mortals and magicborn merge and unite, a young half-witch princess rises to power alongside princes from each royal kingdom. In this why choose romance, follow Princess Cordelia and her husbands into the war to end all wars - the final battle against eternal darkness.
