A Little Taste of the Future for Red Phoenix

What is Red Phoenix Writing Now?
Now that Brie Learns the Art of Submission is out, what is Red up to???

Well my friends, if you follow me on Facebook or Twitter then you have a pretty good idea. However, I realize there are some of you who do not have accounts on either and are in the dark. It's not fair, so today I shall remedy that. :)

I am currently working on four projects. Yes, that's right... 4.

Here is a little taste of each:

1) Varick: The Reckoning is due out the end of December. It is the sequel to the free eBook, Varick: The Reluctant. It's my unique take on the world of vampires. It is labeled erotica, but it is so much more than sex. Vampires represent to me all that is cruel and unfair in the world. Varick is the shining light in that darkness. This is a character who has haunted my dreams since I was a teenager.

Quote from the upcoming Varick:

"Varick looked down at her still form, his blood trickling from the wound in her throat. He steeled himself as he gazed into Aleshia's eyes, knowing what he would find..." (~Red Phoenix, Varick the Reckoning)

2) My 'Secret Project' will be revealed when it is complete. It is still in the creation stage, although I am pleased with its progress. This project idea was given to me by my husband. I will announce its publication when the time approaches. Consider it ongoing for now, with no set date of completion.

Quote from my secret project: 

"It was a rush like no othertransporting a woman to an intense level of passion she could not reach on her own. The ability to deliver both pain and pleasure in equal portions while leaving the woman desperate and hungry for more was… a gift. " (~Red Phoenix, Secret Project)

3) Brie: The After Story is due out the end of January. It will follow the lives of Brie and her Master, as well as the other characters you have grown to know and love. Find out what happens after the elevator doors close...

Quote from the new Brie: 

“We’re just going to talk. What’s the harm in that?”
“But I don’t think I should...”
“Brie,” he cocked his head and smiled sadly, “don’t you think I deserve an explanation?” His blue eyes drew her in and she became acutely aware of the pain behind them. (~Red Phoenix, Brie: The After Story)

4)  The Phoenix Series is the other project I am working on. Some of you may not be aware that I write under another pen name, Michelle Stevens. I have published two novellas, Phoenix Rising and Phoenix Takes Flight, and am currently working on the third of four in the series. The Phoenix Series is loosely based on the 1980's romance with my husband of 20 years. Fair warning: This is NOT erotica, it has a spiritual element and a sad (but inspiring) ending.

Quote from the next installment of Phoenix: 

Scott jumped in, “Hey! Are you making a pass at my girlfriend?”
I looked at both of them apprehensively. “No Scott, I'm sure he wasn't...”
“Actually I was,” Greywolf replied, gracing me with a charming smile before telling Scott, “What are you going to do about it, Keeper?” (~Michelle Stevens, Phoenix Soars)

I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek into what the future holds for Red Phoenix. :)

Thank you for all of your support and many comments. I cherish every one!

What's Ahead for Red Phoenix?

Red Phoenix, 2012
So, you finished Brie and are checking out the countdown clock wondering what on earth Red Phoenix could be doing for three months. Well...let me tell ya!

1) I am currently finishing the professional edits of the complete Brie collection. The full-length novel previously published as 9 novelettes will be hot off the presses sometime in the next two weeks - definitely before Thanksgiving, 2012. I not only hired a highly experienced editor, but I have also commissioned a custom photo shoot. I think you'll agree when you see the cover that it totally captures the allure of the Brie series. The title of the over 400 page soon-to-be released novel is Brie Learns the Art of Submission.
 

2) While doing the edits, I am also finishing up the second novella to my Phoenix series, Phoenix Takes Flight. This is written under my pen name Michelle Stevens because it is a romance novel - NOT erotica. If you like my writing style and you want to read a fictionalized account of my 80's romance with my incredible husband of 20 years, then you might want to give it a read, Phoenix Rising. The first novella is free on all the major eBook stores (except Amazon, which I expect to match soon).
 3) At the same time, I am also working on a secret writing project - one assigned to me by my hubby. He is pleased with the results to date, and I hope you will be too. :) I will reveal when it is complete.

4) But that is not all folks! I will be finishing up the year writing the second book to the Varick series. Varick: The Reluctant introduced my vamp; it is a vampire story like no other. If you have read any of my books, then you know I march to the beat of a different drummer and so do my stories. My vamps are cruel not wimpy, but the love that emerges from one unusual couple will change the vampire world forever. Hence the sequel, Varick: The Reckoning.


I promise this little chick is working hard. I am thrilled to bring Brie's Submissive Training to you as a novel in both eBook and paperback! (Now all the non eReaders can finally have their first taste of Brie.) Know that the story has NOT changed; it will just read a lot smoother. If you have purchased the series, you do not need to purchase the collection. The one scene that has been added in the novel will be posted on this blog so you won't be missing out. :)

Thank you for all your support this year. I wouldn't be having this much fun without you!

Sincerely with hugs,

~Red
