I’m genuinely considering dropping all three books.
They’re complete. They’re done. They’re canon-locked. At this point, they are not drafts hiding in a folder and pretending to be mysterious. They are full stories, fully built, and ready to be read.
The only question is whether I release them gradually or just let all three out into the wild and hope the algorithm doesn’t immediately start coughing blood.
Together, they are easily around 900K words.
THE 366TH DAY took me almost a year to finish. It is modern, sharp, forward-focused, and built around contract romance, power, debt, danger, and two men who should absolutely know better.
MAKING MR. BLACK is the oldest of the three. That story is almost ten years old, and Sebastian and River are basically the foundation stones of the Nexverse Prime canon. They were the blueprint before the blueprint had a name.
THE NEW CROWN is the newest development so far. It is noir, legal, political, messy, dramatic, and honestly, I treat it like a TV show written in novel prose. Don’t ask me to explain that. It makes sense in my head, which is where most of the crimes begin.
All three are connected through Nexverse Prime, but they each stand on their own. Different romances, different power structures, different kinds of danger, same larger universe moving underneath them.
So now I’m debating.
Do I drop all three completely, or do I release them in a more controlled way and let each one breathe?
