I have important news today regarding the Moonstruck Cove series. I'm eager to make some changes to it, which means that the publication of Colton and Emory's book, Moonstruck Deal (Moonstruck Cove Book 2), will be delayed.
I've asked myself if it's really necessary to make these changes. In terms of providing you with interesting stories, probably not. But my creative mind works in a funny way. If an idea grips me tightly enough, I've learned the hard way to follow it even if it means diverging from my well-thought-out plans and schedule. Otherwise, I suffer from mental blocks and procrastination that are very hard to shift. Well, I'd been severely stuck for a good few weeks so I decided to finally act on my new thoughts.
You may know that Moonstruck Deal is about Colton and Emory fake-dating to win against their respective exes who are dating themselves! And, oh, the stakes are high.
As I was working on the book, this new title kept popping up in my head: Battle of the Exes. I have to admit that's catchier than Moonstruck Deal.
Then this new title for Moonstruck Dance (the stand-alone novella) also sprung to mind: Dancing with the Rock Star. If you've already read it, you'll know how apt this is for Theo and Gia's story 😊.
I've received some very lovely feedback on Moonstruck Dance, and it has been suggested that this story should be a full-length novel. Since I want to change the title anyway, why not make it so?
I'm therefore making the following changes to the Moonstruck Cove series.
1. Turn Moonstruck Dance into a full-length novel (yay, more of Gia and Theo!), give it a new title, and then publish it as the new book 1 of the series.
2. Make Moonstruck Kiss book 2 with a new title. I haven't settled on a final one yet, but it will include the words Single Dad.
I didn't want to leave book 2 of a series available for purchase when book 1 is not out yet (even though each book can be read as a standalone), so I've unpublished the ebook version of Moonstruck Kiss. However, the paperback is still up for sale because it's now become a special limited edition with its soon-to-be “old” title and cover. If you want a paperback that will never be available again anywhere (brand new), grab Moonstruck Kiss now. It will remain on Amazon until the end of September 2024 only.
3. Battle of the Exes, Colton and Emory's story, will become book 3. The preorder for the old title, Moonstruck Deal, has been cancelled, and I apologise to those waiting for this story. I promise it'll be worth the wait.
I'm excited to relaunch the Moonstruck Cove series in the new year! In the meantime, I'm also sprucing up a previously published series of mine. The last book in that series was actually the inspiration for the fictional small town of Moonstruck Cove. More on what I'm doing with that series in a future newsletter. Be sure to keep an eye out for it. To ensure you don't miss any updates, please subscribe to my newsletter.
By the way, if you haven't read the novella version of Moonstruck Dance yet, it's still currently FREE for a very limited time. I'll be taking it down in a week or two, so download it now while it's still available.
That's all for now. Thank you so much for your support!
Much love,
Miranda ❤️
