"Paper Planes" non-update, sequel to "Every Good Thing"
So since I've been getting harassed about the release date for Paper Planes (*coughkassarvwscough*), let me just update to say: I haven't heard back yet. *laugh* I have one publisher (will it jinx it if I say which one??) that's at the top of my list, mainly because I think the series as a whole will fit their catalogue better than most other publishers on my radar. It's a fairly diverse series, having the original m/m, and then sequels/companion/side stories involving incredibly oversexed m/m/m, a childhood-best-friend-turned-romantic f/f, and asexual m/m.
Yes, that's right, asexuality is an orientation too, and it doesn't always mean aromantic. So while there is plenty of working out of sexuality that includes sex scenes, and while there's a clear, strong romantic arc, it definitely won't be earmarked by the whole "mind-blowing, life-changing sex" that most in the genre are known for.
You can see why I'm having to be picky about publishers. I've also given up trying to figure out where ELSE it would go if Favorite Publisher I Refuse To Jinx doesn't want it, so I signed with an agent and let that be her problem. *laugh*
In the meantime, Lovegame is coming along nicely, and I've also started a cyberpunk f/f novella for Samhain Publishing's cyberpunk open call. Making plans for where it will go if Samhain doesn't take it. Have a couple of ideas.
And because I've been getting a LOT of questions about it recently: Yes, there is a planned sequel for Every Good Thing developing Suqua and Ashar's relationship and briefly revisiting Enitan and Arieh. The working title is Shadows in the West, and it's on my list of things to work on this summer, but when I started working on it, I found there was a fatal flaw in the plot, so I'm having to rebuild my idea from the ground up. So... Some Delay Expected.
Um... anything else?
