Hey guys!

So I wanted to get this post up ASAP. Its barely even light outside here yet (p.s. waking up when its still dark outside is evil! lol) but the second I opened my email I realized what a HUGE mistake I made.

*Facepalm*

I honestly try so hard to keep everything organized and on point for you guys. Sometimes I drive myself crazy trying to keep dates, make sure info is passed, etc. I think this is the first time I’ve messed up like this. I’ll likely be beating myself up all weekend about it too, even though it was my first major error in 5 years.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about here’s the down low: The original release date for #Rev was today, March 18th.

At the beginning of March I put out a post on my social media stating that I had to move the release date to April 1 due to circumstances beyond my control (basically, my editor had a family emergency and needed extra time to edit #Rev).

If you want to read the original post here it is

I also posted the same post in my Fan Club, on Instagram and Google +. I also sent out a newsletter with the new date and an exclusive look at #Rev.  Didn’t get the newsletter and want to read the sneak peek of #Rev? READ IT HERE

(sign up for my newsletter is on the side bar of this website)

My mistake?

I forgot to update this website. I had originally pre-scheduled a post for #Rev’s release in my dashboard (then I could just add the book links when it published) so I could be ‘on the ball’ for release day… well I dropped the ball and forgot to re-schedule the post for April 1.

RELEASE DATE FOR #REV IS APRIL 1.

However, the second I get this book back from my editor, and make the necessary changes I WILL HIT PUBLISH.

I know you guys are upset. I know you are mad at me. I read some of the comments on the original post this morning (I pulled it down because today is not release day and pissing people off doesn’t make me happy).

All I can do is apologize profusely again for the change in date. This is the first time I have ever had to move a release date. I try so very hard to put a date out and stick to it because I know you guys look forward to these books. I know #Junkie had a cliffhanger and I know you desperately want #Rev.

I understand that and I’m sorry. I basically locked myself in a room to write #Rev and get this book out as quickly as I could because I don’t want to make people wait. #REV is done. Its slightly longer than #Junkie and it DOES NOT have a cliff hanger. Unfortunately I cannot edit the book myself. It would not make for a pleasant reading experience. ha! Sometimes things happen and while YES I am just as disappointed as you I can’t do anything about it. My editor needed more time.

Also, please understand I got sick at Christmas time and I am only just feeling better (its almost April) I was sick over 10 weeks. I had acute bronchitis, a sinus infection, I coughed so much for so long I had a pulled muscle in my back and an exposed nerve in my esophagus. I had multiple x-rays, 2 trips to a doctor and another trip to a specialist. I’ve been on steroids, 2 types of inhalers and antibiotics. I’ve taken natural immune boosters, marshmallow pills (seriously, who knew that was a thing?!) and more just to get better.  Through all that, I worked. I wrote #Rev, I wrote Maneater (releasing March 25th) and I wrote and submitted a short story for the Fifty Shades of Pink anthology (which benefits breast cancer). I’ve been making teasers, sending out newsletters and interacting with my fans in my fan club (link to join is above in this post).  I TRULY care about you guys and my books. Forgetting about this morning’s post was a mistake, an accident and again, I apologize.

All that being said here is the Up to date and final information on #REV:

RELEASE DATE: APRIL 1st (Note: IF I get the book back early I will release it ASAP and I will post all over the place including this website so you know its available). There is no pre-order. 

The release blitz for #Rev will be on April 1st. It is hosted by Xpresso Reads. I am giving away a KINDLE FIRE. I know me giving away a kindle doesn’t make up for the later release, but its still nice, eh? You will be able to enter at any of the blogs hosting the release blitz AND HERE on this site. If you are a blogger (or page owner) and want to be part of the blitz sign up HERE

I honestly hope that you will still pick up #Rev when it releases. I hope my error with the post this morning and the fact I had to push the release does not make you write off #Rev. Trent and Drew are my favorite. #Junkie and #Rev are my favorite books I’ve done (I love all my books, and YES I love me some Romeo, he’s just right below Trent now). Trent and Drew were a total surprise to me, but I love them so much. I hope you will read #Rev and support our boys. 

Since today was the original release date I will post some new teasers below. I will also give you a little info on some frequently asked questions (FAQ) i’ve been getting.

FAQ

Does #Rev have a cliffhanger? No. It does not. #Rev has a happily ever after. 

Is this the last book in the GearShark series? No. I’m planning on 2 more books in the GearShark series. Trent and Drew’s books are complete with #Rev. The next book in the GS series is about Lorhaven. I’m aiming to have that out this summer. I will announce more on it when I can. 

When will #Junkie (and #Rev) be on audio? I’m getting lots of requests for this. I have reached out to Tantor Media – the company who produced the Hashtag Series in audio to see if they are interested in GearShark. If they decline I will have them produced on my own because I know you guys really want this. It will be a few months, so I will keep you updated. Audio production takes time because we have to get narrators, have it read, produced, etc. I am working on it. 

What are you working on now? Right now I am gearing up for #Rev’s release (as early as I can. No later than April 1) and Maneater – an 80’s novella releases March 25th. Maneater is done, its up for preorder and its already submitted to all vendors. It will be out the 25th. You can get all the info and preorder links on Maneater here.  I am also currently writing a Take It Off novel.  There has been a lot of request for another one. I got an idea so I’m working on that write now. When its done I will write Lorhaven’s book. the Take It Off book is a standalone. I’ll have more info on that in the coming weeks. 

When is your next book signing? I will be in Roanoke, Virginia on April 2. Roanoke Author Invasion

After that I will be in Nashville, TN at Utopiacon. I will be speaking on  several panels, and I have a table there for the entire event and will selling and signing books. I will lots of free swag too (including Pit Passes from Trent and Drew!) Utopiacon is June 22-26th. Utopiacon 

I will be other places this summer and fall. For a full list of my events GO HERE

If you have any other questions ask me in the comments below. I will answer today.

  1. No worries, Cambria! It’s disappointing to not have a new book I’ve anticipated reading for so long first thing this morning, but sh** happens. Hope you feel better soon and all is good with your editor as well. Looking forward to April 1st (or, hopefully, a date a little sooner)!

  2. Thank you for the update. Life tends to get in the way of work and vice versa. No one’s mad (or at least they shouldn’t be). We all know you work hard for your readers and I sure do appreciate that. Deep breathe…and again. See don’t you feel better (LOL) Looking forward to reading more of Drew and Trent’s story with #REV. Have a wonderful weekend. #nerd #junkie

  3. Don’t worry about it and stress about things happen that’s out of are control , thanks for the update I thought it was odd when I got the email this morning.

  4. I woke up this morning to download #Rev and come to find out the release date has changed. I am disappointed but I think it was for the best. Things happen that we can’t control sometimes. Just roll with it and all will be good. Can’t wait until April 1……Just don’t let be an April’s Fool Day. HAHA. Love your Hashtag Series. Thanks for the update.

  5. I will still be purchasing this book as soon as it is available on Amazon! Of course! I loved your hashtag series but I utterly adore #Junkie and cannot wait for more GearShark.

  6. I will definitely still be getting #Rev and can hardly wait!! Don’t be so hard on yourself….sometimes stuff happens….thanks for the nice update and I remember reading about the date change. I am glad you are finally feeling better!

  7. Psh we love you!! Life happens! Patience is a virtue and the extra 2 weeks just gives us a chance to reread #Junkie before the release of #Rev!

  8. Thanks for the update!! And don’t stress about it, I’m sure I’m not the only person willing to wait. As an aside, I wanted to let you know that the Goodreads page for #Rev still shows today as the release date. I’m not sure how that works exactly but I wanted to let you know in case it doesn’t auto-update 🙂

  9. No problem!! I’m so reading this as soons as it comes out!

    Can you give us the 1st chapter?! Please?! LOL I know!! I’m pushing, and I know you must be so stressed already, I write too and I can’t imagine how bad you must be feeling, but I’m dying with that cliffhanger *hiding behing hands*

    Just joking (not really no lol)

    Aaaaanyway, thank you so much for this amazing couple, #Junkie was the first MM romance I read and I loved 🙂 You’re great, love your books and that’s it!

    Don’t forget to be awesome! X from a brazilian fan 😉

      1. Wooow! I read it! Thank you so much! I’m so much more calmer now lol
        I wanted to see Romeo’s reaction so much in the end of the first one *.* I kept waiting for him to get home <3
        Ok I'm good now lol
        Thank you! X

  10. im not upset just really bummed i was looking forward to it but if it will make for a better book i totally get it thanks for all the goodies so far we had a poll on c.m. owens page for top 3 book boyfriends and romeo was of course my number 1 so thanks i love both series

  11. Aww your only human hun. This is book is worth the wait;)

  12. I’m so sorry some people couldn’t see past their own desires and took it out on you…that sucks balls. I was confused when I got the e-mail (b/c I subscribe to your posts I guess, I forgot about that), but if you want to know a shameful truth? I’m ok with #REV not being out yet, b/c I had it planned out for April 1st, and releasing it now threw me off my reading schedule!! 😛 So hugs to you…don’t let the impatient get you down. You’re worth the wait, Trent and Drew are worth the wait.
