Moonlit Dreams Extras

People often ask me why "X" book isn't out yet. Sometimes, the answer is simply because it is being worked on. Other times, the answer is because "I'm not feeling it", and then there is the business answer - the series isn't making enough to sustain me taking time on another release. Things that would change the order when I take a closer look are: • Highest Grossing to worst • If a book was free for a long time (Shadows of the Ancients and Birthrights are examples) • Book prices ($0.99 vs 3.99) • Royalty % (some royalties are 35% others are up to 70%) • Time in publication (if the gross is weak after years vs if it looks lower because the book has only been out a month or two) • Beginning books in a series that spent a long time at $0.99 (35% royalty) and special books at same price (Dancing with Danger, Angel Girl, The Infinite Something, A Year and a Day, Proven, Smoke and the Flame are examples) • I have 57 titles total published under my names. There are 49 books in the list (two sets of tied books at #7 and #24) and eight titles not included in this lineup because they are out of circulation for good.

By that I meant "Order of Importance" as per what I look for when I decide which books to focus on next. Sometimes, it's down to what I'm feeling at the moment. Some of those "feeling it" books were surprise releases, when I was supposed to be focused on other books, and many of them are in the top twenty! That is a huge consideration for me, because when I'm in the zone with a book - it usually makes a bigger impact with readers. Six of the top twenty titles were surprise books (including The Other Princess and Redemption Weather). Something else I take into account is this: Devastate Me and Surprise Me are numbers 28 and 38 on this list, which would look like that series is doing awful, except they have both been released for less than a month. With Wait for Me in the top twenty, and the other two titles outpacing so many other books in less than a month, it makes the series a priority for me to finish. Outside of time, I factor in free and $0.99 runs. Both Shadows of the Ancients (20) and Birthrights (44) were free for a long time. Shadows hold the record for most downloads of all my books, even though it comes in at #20 and it is followed by Birthrights even though it is #44. So, despite those two first books in a series not doing as well monetarily, despite time available, they were advertising for the other books in the series that did do well. So, if there were more books in those series, they would be pushed through ahead of everything else (as long as I was feeling the writing). I also factor in outside contributing factors, such as with The Fortunate Ones. For the first few weeks of release, Amazon had that book hidden, and flagged as erotica, so no one could find it. By the way, that is my tamest book outside of my YA titles, and the cover models were wearing layers of clothing. How it got flagged as erotica is still beyond me, but it killed my book launch and lost that book momentum. So, when I look at how low down the list it is, I factor that in, and still plan to release the other four books in that series. Which books are coming soon? • Bad at Love (Bad at Love Book 1) by Christine Michelle • Baby Me (Savage Vipers MC Book 4) by Anne Storm • Echoes of Everything (Aces High MC - TallahasseeBook 2) by Christine Michelle • When the Last Petal Falls (Robeson Family Novel Book 2) by Christine Michelle • And more to come...

SAVAGE VIPERS MC SERIES BY ANNE STORM 1) When will each book be released? 2) Which characters are getting their books now? I've been asked those two questions a lot over the past couple weeks. ANSWER: After going back and correcting timeline and story continuity issues that were written into the books accidentally when I worked on devastate Me while sick (and after popping it in out of order to get it to people quicker)... I had to change a couple things and I added one book to the mix (plus a special edition). Below is the new order of release, though dates are not yet available for some, I can tell you they will all be coming relatively quickly. BOOK 1 - Wait for Me (released on Feb 28, 2022) Star and Bagger BOOK 2 - Devastate Me (released on March 2, 2023) Nova and Breakneck BOOK 2 - Devastate Me Special Edition (released on March 2, 2023) Nova and Breakneck BOOK 2.5 - Surprise Me (Releases March 10-11, 2023) Tripp, June, and Kim (young Tripp when he prospected) BOOK 3 - Baby Me (coming soon) Tripp, June, and Davina (Prez during current time period) BOOK 4 - Patch Me (coming soon) Scout and Kip BOOK 5 - Share Me (coming soon) Mitzi, Skully, and Trench *NOTE: Seeing three names does not mean that all three of those people get a happily ever after. It just means that there were multiple relationships during the course of their story in some cases. (a third party played an important part). **ALSO OF NOTE - SURPRISE ME - was meant to be Trip's extended prologue for Baby Me. I originally wanted to write a novella because a prologue didn't do enough justice to Kim's story and I felt she deserved her happy ending. She gets one in Surprise Me. While this book became a full-length novel, it remains listed as book 2.5 because it was only meant to enhance your experience with book three and not the series overall. Surprise Me is a look into Tripp's past (outside of the timeline for the other books). I absolutely loved writing Kim's story, though, so I hope everyone takes the time to read it.

I get asked questions about reading orders all the time, especially about the Aces High MC multi-series book world. Some other questions I get are about other woman drama, cheating, and angst levels. I'm going to try to address all of them here in one place. All books listed below are written under Christine Michelle unless otherwise stated! READING ORDER FOR MC BOOKS There is no particular series reading order for the AHMC. Each series has the books numbered in the order you should read them, but most can be read in any order you wish. All of the AHMC and S.H.E. MC Series take place around the same time, with the exception of AHMC - Cedar Falls. That takes place ten years in the future from the other books. It doesn't matter, if you want to start there, you can. Each series was designed to operate independently from the others. There are cameos throughout all the series from characters that belong to other series, but those cameos are not important to interconnected storylines. If there was an order (and THERE IS NOT), chronologically it would follow the list below (for each series, not per book). Also, each series listed states whether it is "incomplete" (more books to come) or "complete" (final book has already been released) next to the series title.
