Publisher Closing–His Haven No Longer Available
Please Read:
Unfortunately, yesterday, on my birthday, I received some devastating news. As of today, my publisher, Secret Cravings, has closed its doors permanently.
My heart is breaking. It’s over. My novel, His Haven, will be taken off shelves everywhere. All reviews will be taken down. It’s difficult to believe that something I worked so hard for, my dream, my everything, is done. Gone. Just like that. Something I put my heart and soul into is no more. Of course, all rights will be given back to me, but to make His Haven a book again, I either have to self-publish or find another company that will accept once-published books.
As for His Haven, I just… don’t know. I don’t think I’ll self-publish it because I already put in so much money into promoting, spending more to self-publish doesn’t seem like a possibility right now. I’ll be working throughout today to take down all the promotional things I have out on the internet. Then, to get myself out of this mind-set, I’m going to focus on my current work-in-progress, The Hunt, and finding that story a good home first. Maybe I’ll revisit Haven and Avrum’s story sometime in the future.
This is no one’s fault. I can’t even imagine what Sandy, the publisher’s owner, is feeling right now. All my fellow SCP authors are beyond upset, too. Secret Cravings gave me a chance. They took my childhood dream of becoming an author and made it real, even though I was so young, only 23. All I want to do is cry and cry, but what I want to say most of all is thank you. Thank you to everyone who bought my book, ebook or print. To every person who took the time to leave a review or participate in a bloghop or giveaway. To every person who left a comment on my Facebook, Twitter, or any social media page. Thank you. Writer/authors, thank you for your advice. My friends and family, thank you for your support. Thank you all—for everything.
Keep an eye out for The Hunt: A Shifter Origins Novel. Hopefully it’ll get accepted by a publisher, and I’ll have something else for you all to read. You can stay up-to-date with my future writing here:
