Welcome to this month's post summarising what to expect from each of my series. You'll find these posts on the 5th of each month and the idea is just that it's an easy way for me to share with everyone where each series is up to. If I don't mention a series in this post, then the chances are that it's a complete series with no changes, but please feel free to ask about anything that you feel I've missed or isn't clear! My aim is to be as transparent as possible!
I'd also like to thank everyone for their patience while I've moved dates around. I've tried to keep things coming as close to the original date as possible, and have managed in some cases, but I truly appreciate the support everyone is giving at this hard time for my family.
Anyway... on to the update!
OBSCURE ACADEMY
- Book 1 & some side stories are out now, including Pumpkin Carving For Superstitious Witches in the free Spells and Shadows Anthology, and Bonfire Night For Flammable Dragons in the free Dragons and Drakes Anthology (this is the final month to download Dragons and Drakes)
- Book 2, Drinking Blood For Squeamish Vampires, will (hopefully) release in November and will follow Bernie as she deals with her blood drinking problem.
- Book 3, Flipping Tails For Seasick Mermaids, will release in January. If you read the story in the Wishes and Waves anthology then you'll have read part of the book, but there will be a second plot arc in the re-released version.
- Book 4, Potion Making For Disastrous Witches, will re-release in March. The only difference between the version in the Midnight Magic anthology and the re-released version is that the re-release also has Owen chapters (they don't make any changes to the plotline) as I decided I wanted dual POV for the series after I submitted the final Potion Making file.
- Book 5, Trading Names For Polite Sprites, will start this month as my next newsletter serial.
- There will be other books in the series announced shortly.
CAULDRON COFFEE SHOP
- Books 1-4 are out now, as is Sabine's side story, Unfortunate Decrees and Iced Coffees (which you can get for free via my website)
- Book 5, Mulled Cider And No One Is Wiser, is (hopefully) releasing later this month.
- Book 6, Vanilla Frappe And Reasons To Stay, is (hopefully) releasing next month.
- There will be a book 7 (and onwards) for this series. Long story short, I've been finding myself dreading saying goodbye to Willow and Azíl the same way I felt when I was working on The Apprentice Of Anubis, and I've learned that I need to listen to that feeling because there's often a reason for it. However, the issue of Azíl's curse will be cleared up before then, though some of the bigger issues will remain.
- I did note that a Christmas story for Willow and Azíl was the most popular when I asked the question. Book 7 will be a Christmas story (that could be read as a standalone).
THE APPRENTICE OF ANUBIS
- Books 1-6 are out now, as is Feline Of Mourning, a Neffie story that's available free via my website.
- Book 7, Succession Of The Temple, will (hopefully) release in January.
- Book 8, Festival Of The Blessed, will (hopefully) release in April.
- There will be more after book 8. I've got at least 12 books plotted out, with the potential to continue after that. The series is split into plot arcs with standalones between them which roughly works out as books 1-3, book 4, books 5-7, book 8, book 9-11, book 12. They do still build on each other.
- I know Neffie didn't make an appearance in book 6, but she will be back! I haven't forgotten about Ramesses either, he'll be back in book 9 (which has always been the plan!)
AMETHYST'S WAND SHOP MYSTERIES, CO-WRITTEN WITH ARIZONA TAPE
- Books 1-7 and a prequel (the prequel is available for free) are out now.
- Book 8, Spells and Bells, will (hopefully) release in December.
- A Stacey & Gabriel standalone, Grave Mistake, will (hopefully) also release in December. Amy and Ambrose will still appear in the story, but the focus will be on Stacey & Gabriel finally acting on what's obvious to everyone around them.
- There will be more in the series after book 8. We tentatively have book 9 scheduled for March and book 10 for July.
FORGOTTEN GODS
- Books 1-7 and a side story (the side story is available for free via my website) are out now.
- Book 8, Seeker Of Relics, will (hopefully) release next month.
- Book 9, Defender Of Spirits, will (hopefully) release in March.
- There will be more after book 9.
- Books 1-3 are out now.
- Book 4, The Swan and the Rake, will (hopefully) release this month.
- Book 5, The Otter and the Officer, will (hopefully) release in February.
- Book 6, The Falcon and the Bluestocking, will be going up for pre-order shortly for May.
- There will be more after book 6.
- The Lady and the Rabbit has released this week and is available to download for free.
BROOMSTICK BAKERY
- Book 1, The Cupcake Witch, will release this month (the date won't change)
- Book 2, The Macaron Witch, will re-release next month (the date won't change), it is the same story as was previously in Eat Your Heart Out 2.

- Book 4, The Baklava Witch, will be going up for pre-order next month for a February release.

- There won't be more stories than those listed in the series, but the cousins will continue to appear in Cauldron Coffee Shop as side characters.
GRIMM ACADEMY
- Books 1-14 (previously the Grimm Academy, Fate of the Crown, Once Upon An Academy, and The Princess Competition series now combined as one) are out now.
- Book 15, Princess Of Petals, will release this month. There has been a slight delay on the release, but it is coming still!
- Book 16, Princess Of Feathers, will re-release in December (date won't change). It is the same story as was in the Curses and Crowns anthology.
- Book 17, Princess Of Scales, will (hopefully) release in April.
- There is a 50:50 chance that Princess Of Scales will be the end of the series. If it isn't, there will be four more books.
PURPLE OASIS, CO-WRITTEN WITH ARIZONA TAPE
- Books 1-6 are out now.
- Book 7, Shifter's Escape (Morgan & Gus), will (hopefully) release in April.

- There will be more in the series, book 9, Siren's Ruse (Colette & Lisa) will also be out next year, as will book 10, Nymph's Gift. We currently have up to book 12 planned out, but will very likely continue past that.
- A side story, Witch's Frost (Amelia & Matisse), will be coming next month in the Winter Wonders Anthology.
- A side story, Shifter's Journey (Ines & Susie), will be coming in March in the Hexes and Hearts Anthology.

- Carnival Of Blades, Harker Academy, and Stonerest Academy: there is no change in status on these series yet as my schedule is super full. I'll post when there are dates for the series.
- The Black Fan: There are planned changes to books 1-3 in the works before I commit to dates for books 4-6. More coming on that soon.
