How To Read My Stories So No One Freaks Out

I've been asked a lot about my books, especially the series ones. I have several. The common question is why I write the way I do. I fin...

It's so funny how the brain works.



 

The blank wall of writer's block prevented any imagination for the longest time. What usually would take 2 or 3 weeks to finish, took more than 2 years. After The Crown and the Sword was released, illness and medication took care of whatever unfenced brain cells were left and caged them in.

Now that I've physically stabilized, the fences fell, words were released and they are coming fast and furious, it's hard to catch up.


On the verge of finishing the draft for this current WIP, a weird story came to mind.

Too fast. Too much. I had to use Word Dictate to get the words out.


So expect the following on the road to submission to eXtasy Books:

1. one haunting romance (mainstream) submitted within a month's time. Working Title: Charcuterie

2. MM paranormal romance Scorched Tale. Working Title: Blood Moon Delight

3. Untitled Taboo final installment

4. side-eyeing this one untitled MM paranormal WIP with only 3k words to go

Update on The Champion: Rise of the Symbionts, Vol. II

 

I am nearing the end of this particular installment. Only 3 more chapters to go on the draft version. This means about another 15k+/- words left before The End, For Now, is written...this is the first of Vol II.

My not-so-nice news: because I had waited too long to finish this story, THE CHAMPION as a title is no longer viable. I have a policy of unique titles, and I lost my chance. 

That means, if I put up the final version, it won't be THE CHAMPION, but something else. I have given myself a deadline to submit by next week, Thursday...not even the weekend...so I will be working hard.

This is also the reason why I have not updated Taboo Plans and All over on my FACEBOOK PAGE. As soon as I have submitted it, I will update Tris and Zach's story there. Do watch out for it.

I also have to insert several erotic scenes into (now formerly titled) The Champion...but that's the least of my worries. Coming up with a new title will be a tough one.

Congratulations on your #NewRelease! #Contumancy @TarynJameson @GabriellaBrad #eXbdd



Earth is a cesspool of poverty and disease ruled over by one government, the World Leadership Organization, known as WLO. They will do anything to protect the wealthy, including sanction and fund the Institute—a highly classified facility that experiments on children and babies, then trains them to become emotionless killers.

Ripped from their families, sold, stolen, or kidnapped off the streets, these children and babies become the tools of the Institute and WLO to eliminate those that stand in the way of furthering their intergalactic agenda.

They are the Veiled Eliminators.


We are unique. We are the best. There is no one on Earth like us, and there never will be. We will succeed. We are strong beyond belief. We are the eliminators, and no one can touch us.

Celebrating a double #bestseller : Royal Consort & Royal Symbionts #mm #erotic #scifi #romance #dragons

Super excited to see this pop up today. Thank you, for all those who bought and are reading my stories. This is a first for me, a double bestseller.



For those of you who've missed the announcement (I maaaay have forgotten to post the release day announcement on here, eeek!), Royal Symbionts is out. Right now, it's only available over at the eXtasy Books site, but it should be available on Amazon and other third party vendors in two weeks' time. If you want to grab the Symbionts now, go over and GRAB IT HERE, or you wait it out for later.








Title: Royal Symbionts

Series: Rise of the Symbionts, Book #3, (Symbionts of Oryon Vol. I )

Author: Jo Tannah

Publisher: eXtasy Books http://www.extasybooks.com/

Estimated Date of Publication: May 26, 2017

eXtasy Books

Betrayal threatens Kallen’s nuptials, his coronation, and the very survival of his people.

Things are not going according to Kallen’s plans. After rescuing the symbiont hatching ground from the dead planet of Nigul, Kallen and his Royal Consort, Lando Garr, thought they would finally gain the answers to unlock the mystery of their symbionts, Bobik and Dobik. Instead, they are faced with more questions and not a single answer.

Plans for their coming nuptials and coronation are pushed to the side when two technomage families disappear. What should have been a simple search and rescue mission reveals a betrayal so deep it threatens not only Kallen’s kingdom, but their entire galaxy. With a technomage war looming, it is incumbent upon Kallen, Lando, and their symbionts to defend the people of Oryon and ensure the survival of their kind.




Point of Interest:

I wrote Rise of the Symbionts about three years ago and had submitted and been sat on until my previous publisher closed down. I had to find a home for them and then eXtasy Books said, come on over. I thank everyone in eXtasy Books, from the bottom of my heart, for giving Lando and Kallen, and the symbionts, a home.

Now, here's the thing. When I wrote these first three books, I had them prepped as short stories, which is the reason why you're seeing them in this format. I expanded them to make more sense, but I kept to the format. 


I started writing Volume II last year when I still had no idea my former publisher was going to fold. I'm almost done with Book IV, The Champion, and have plotted out Books V and VI. These three will make up the Technomage Wars which had been simmering in the background of Rise of the Symbionts. This next trilogy will focus on the remaining Hobiks, The Champion, The Lore Keeper and The Royal Five. The men and their symbionts will have their own stories and will continue the Symbionts of Oryon arc. 

For those of you who want updates , you can like me on my FB page. There's also a secret group where you can get a scoop on updates of what I'm working on as well as have a chace to read exclusive teaser snippets. All you need to do is drop in on my page and request to join the secret groups.

Oh, did I say groups? Yes, I have another one with my co-author Ann Mickan. Drop by HERE.












Here are the other books in the series and their trailers if you're curious.

Kallen has been away for two years to further his education. En route to his home planet, Oryon, his starship is attacked by unknown brigands. All fear the death of the heir to the kingdom, as well as those of his accompanying loyal guardians.
With Bobik’s assistance, Lando Garr is the one man who can find and rescue Kallen. Not because he’s bound by duty as a Royal Guardian, but because the prince’s symbiont responds to no other but him. Both will stop at nothing to find Kallen. Losing him would mean Bobik’s death and Lando’s heartache.

With only hours to spare before the scheduled exodus, a group of people say their last good-byes to those they must leave behind. Last minute preparations are well under way to guarantee their survival in three new worlds. The Hegira Project is ready to launch, heading towards a brighter future.

I wrote this piece for fun, a what if these things happen as I was watching CNN. I won't explain further, only I did this sometime October or November of 2015. When my old publisher put out a call for a sci-fi anthology, I tweaked this little story and submitted sometime June or was it July? I'm no longer certain, but then it didn't get published. The anthology never came about. When I got my rights back to my stories, this was one of them. I hadn't read this since I'd submitted it, and when I finally did, I got scared of what I had written. 


No, this is not horror, not like The Hunt. This one's far scarier for me. And I wrote it.

Note: Yes, guys, this is Free. So if you have the time, please go to the Amazon link once it's up and let them know it's free everywhere else. Thank you.

Surprise! The Hunt is in Now Available for PreOrder




Expected Date of Release: June 1, 2106






When the hunter becomes the hunted, the only thing left to do is run.

Lieutenant Marcus Kildud and his men are rangers for hire. They specialize in insertion, extraction, escape and evasion. He answers an urgent request from the Planet Terrus’ Prelate, the Lord Fulsam, whose son has disappeared and presumed dead. 

Their task is to find the ring the Prelate’s son wore. The promised compensation and bonus offered are enough to make this their team’s final mission. 

What they meet in the forest is something none of them have ever encountered before. Marcus now faces the unimaginable. He realizes too late that sometimes, running away may be the only option left to staying alive.
