GREY MAGIC Postponed Release

Jeffe Kennedy / / News

Hi all! If you follow my podcast or blog, you already know this, but I’m having to postpone the release of Bonds of Magic #3, GREY MAGIC. Many apologies, but it has to be done, alas. I’m predicting that the new release date will be February 15, 2022. Possibly sooner, but not later. I’m changing the release date to 2/15/22 everywhere *except* on Amazon, who will only let me push it to 30 days out. If you preordered on Amazon (thank you!!!), you’ll get a notice saying the new release date is January 19. I might be able to push it out again right away, or I might have to wait. We shall see! At any rate, thank you for your patience and understanding.

Down time and how access to the internet has changed that for me. Also thoughts on going pantsless, misogyny, and another subtrope of "not like other girls" that annoys me.

Sliding release dates (so sorry!) on GREY MAGIC and FIRE OF THE FROST, though everything is otherwise going well and on track. And some thoughts on community and people wanting to be good and right.

Updates on My Release Schedule!

Jeffe Kennedy / / Blog

BRIGHT FAMILIAR releases on Friday!! I’m super excited not only because I got the book done in time – whew! – and not only because I have over 1,000 preorders on Amazon for this book and still climbing – a personal record! – but because early reader-reviewers are saying such wonderful things about it. My heart and cup runneth over, for sure. You all are amazing in your love for this series. If you haven’t preordered yet and want to, you still can 🙂

Some of you have been asking about my release schedule for both this series and Heirs of Magic. The obsessive fans alert among you have noticed that my release date for THE STORM PRINCESS AND THE RAVEN KING has drifted into 2022. And GREY MAGIC, sequel to BRIGHT FAMILIAR , is coming out at the end of December. The reason for the release date drift is that I’m wedging in a novella for another midwinter holiday fantasy romance anthology! Everyone is still figuring out if they can fit it into their writing schedules, so I won’t tell you the participants yet. But as soon as I know, you’ll be hearing about it! Worse comes to worst, we pull the plug on the anthology and all of these release dates move up.
Here is my current plan (italics indicate tentative dates):

 

THE DRAGON’S DAUGHTER AND THE WINTER MAGE (Heirs of Magic 3) 9/13/2021

holiday novella 11/15/2021
GREY MAGIC (Bonds of Magic 3) 12/20/2021
THE STORM PRINCESS AND THE RAVEN KING (Heirs of Magic 4) 2/22/2022

Finally, in case you missed it, THE LONG NIGHT OF THE CRYSTALLINE MOON, the prequel story to Heirs of Magic, previously only available in the UNDER A WINTER SKY anthology, is now available as a standalone.

A discussion of pitfalls in contracts related to release dates and making sure publishers don't sit on authors' work. Also, why I'm feeling hopeful and why we can look forward to a brighter future.

This is the New Yorker article I mention (https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/donald-trump-tests-positive-for-the-coronavirus-and-a-nation-anticipates-chaos).

A bit about how the publishing industry can be weird: release dates, author copies, and being orphaned when an editor leaves. Also musings on whether angst is necessary for creativity and what choosing the happy means.

For those interested, here's Peter Senftleben's freelance editing website.
