Rolfe's Ramblings

I can't believe I'm typing these words: Fated Maids and the Royal Slug is FINISHED, BABY!

What this means: Expect an early-to-mid July release date. Actually, I may put up a preorder page for once. Testing the TikTok waters has given me confidence that I can muster up at least ten preorders by Independence Day, if not more. A tempting idea for one with a wallet as empty as mine.

What it also means: ARCs time is here! I've uploaded my files to BookSirens and they're currently undergoing a quality review. I fully expect it to pass. I've got a tiny list of ARC readers who already want a piece of the Milky Maid action and I'm hoping they enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it. (And if they don't, oh well. I admit it's not for everyone)

Basically, if the ARC copy gets approved this weekend, that sucker is getting a preorder page on Monday. And that's a Mylo Rolfe Guarantee.

I've learned a few things while writing this book, first and foremost that I don't need to hyperfocus on trying to add a bunch of hidden meaning and morals to write a story that I'll enjoy reading over. Sure, I am using the story to make a point about sexualization, kink, and romance, but on the whole this one's just a bunch of cute and sexy moe-style fluff with characters that are my age rather than high school age. And it was a blast to create!

I've also reaffirmed in my mind that I'm a master at heat, and I'm looking forward to coming up with new ways to make my readers blush in my next book. I'm not spoiling much yet, but for those of you coming here after reading Fated Maids, I sincerely hope most of you like cat girls as much as you like cow girls. Nya~

And finally, I learned that it's possible for me to write a book in under a year. I know this because this book could have been done in about eight months had I not taken a detour around NaNoWriMo to start an existentialist superhero story (which is on the back burner for now).

That's all for now, I suppose. See you on release day!
