Updates
Note from the owner…
I would like to apologize for the extreme delay in giving you production and shipping updates! While I don’t usually divulge any personal information, I would like to be transparent as it has affected the business. My husband and I have decided at the beginning of February to go our separate ways. Unfortunately, he is a silent business partner. I am working on removing him as a partner currently.
I am not using this as an excuse as I know I dropped the ball in giving you all updates. Again, I apologize for that!

Soldiers of Anarchy Books
The Joker, The Player and The Thief Paperbacks: I received the updated proof and have approved them to go to printing production. The chapter POV design printed better this time around.
The Reaper, The Joker, The Player and The Thief Hardcovers: I followed up with the printing company but have not heard back yet. I know they were closed the last two weeks of February so I will send another follow up email.
Sinners & Saints by Veronica Eden (Hardcovers Only)
Wicked Saint - I have approved the printed proof. I had to switch to a printing company in the UK as the printer here in the US had delay issues with their endpaper printer being down for a few months. This is now in production.
Tempting Devil, Ruthless Bishop and Savage Wilder - I recently received the updated files from the designer for the new printer. I have sent the files and ordered printed proofs. As soon as I ensure that the printed proof has no issues, I will have the inventory start printing production.
Bastards of Boulder Cove Series by Rachel Leigh (Hardcovers Only)
Savage Games, Vicious Lies and Twisted Secrets - as this is all black pages, the color chapter POV illustrations weren’t printing correctly previously during test prints. The files has been corrected and the test prints were printed correctly. Inventory is in printing production.
Wicked Boys of BCU by Rachel Leigh
We Will Reign Paperback and Hardcover - unfortunately, we will have to cancel and refund the pre-orders for this title as the original illustrator/designer won’t be able to finish designing the other two books in the series.
I will be emailing everyone regarding the cancellation and refunds.
