Kindle Unlimited...

So much has been happening here at Courcy Camp behind the scenes, and I can't wait to share it all with you in the upcoming weeks!!

But first! Book four in the Grey Sisters Saga, Phoenix Grey Forges a Blade was released on May 7th (in honor of a very special someone's birthday) and so far it seems like everyone is loving the book as much as I do. Yay!! I'm so glad that the story is resonating with all of you in all the ways I'd hoped.

Seriously. This book is everything to me. Hah! As of this moment—it is truly my favorite.

Now...about Kindle Unlimited...

There is a big upcoming change to my publishing strategy that I wanted to share with you...the books (and possibly all future books) will be enrolling into Kindle Unlimited sometime in the next few weeks. I really did struggle with this decision—especially because I have one Google Play Aussie reader (you know who you are 😅) that I just adore every time I see them pick up a new book in the series—but I think that by enrolling in KU, the series will reach a lot more teenage readers. We will see how that goes.

Stay tuned! And be on the lookout for more updates...🤩

**And if you are that one Aussie-Google Play-Grey Sisters Saga fan, please feel free to email me with your receipts, and I'll try to send you a copy of book five once it's published just for being you. Seriously, the Australian sales warmed my heart every time. 😉 💛

A year...?!

Okay. How funny is it that the day I'm ready to update the blog...it is a year after the last post?? Gosh.

First...apologies for the silence. I have a million (valid) excuses, but I don't want to list them all. So let's just jump right into the updates...

July 19th...

About Seraphina Grey & the Carnival of Nightmares taken from the Newsletter...

"This story...was a long time coming. And I'm so very sorry it's taken me so long to get it to you. But honestly, I could not be happier with how it turned out. It's weird to say but I'm so proud of it. I don't usually come out and say those kind of things (at least it feels like I don't hah!) but...I feel like I needed to acknowledge that. Like with Blood Farm, I tried not to be so obvious with the Carnival of Nightmares. We tend to think of nightmares as simply things that scare us...but I truly believe our real fears are rooted in an avoidance of truth. They need to be contemplated so that they can be conquered. And I think this book hit all the notes.

I hope you love it as much as I do ✨💛✨

Recommended reading order...immediately following Blood Farm 😉

If you sneak a peek at the first page you'll see what I mean..."

August 16th...

Seraphina Grey Summons a Demon hit #1 Best Seller in YA Monster Fiction & #2 Best Seller in YA Coming of Age Fantasy on Amazon. It was an amazing experience, and I'm so grateful for all the love everyone has shown the series.

September 24th...

And then Dark Reflections earned two #1 Best Seller tags on Amazon. YA Ghost Stories and Monster Fiction which was completely unexpected and such a happy day.

And then March 29th...

I finished the final draft of book four of the Grey Sisters Saga... Phoenix Grey Forges a Blade 💛

Completing this book... It was the most incredible experience of my writing career.

It is crazy to say that because you'd think all the best seller Amazon tags would've been better...

But, no.

Finishing Blade tops everything thus far.

It was literally my favorite book to write. I love everything about it. Absolutely everything. This book...gah.

I just love it.

It is with the editor now, and I'm hoping for a late April release 🥰

Newsletter Update...

At the end of the summer, I will not be renewing my service provider so...although I will still be sending out newsletter emails...it will be directly from my email and not through the service.

This means, no more automated sign-ups for new subscribers and the emails won't be as fancy. I apologize for that. But hopefully you'll still enjoy them.

And...yeah. I think that's it.

A lot of personal stuff going on...but I'll save that for the next newsletter email...which should be sent out sometime this week.

Now...back to drafting book five!! 😱🥰💛

Scarlet Hunger...

So, this book...was dark.

It was a lot darker than anything I've written in the Nile Universe, so far. That can easily be contributed to the mental state in which I wrote it. The process was incredibly theraputic, and I credit Scarlet Hunger with helping save my soul during the darkest days of my life.

But because of the darkness (which is kind of the opposite of what I'm going for here with 'dark fantasy, light heart' 😉), I was honestly really nervous about how it would be received by readers.

But the reviews are coming in and the consensus seems to be that it is enjoyable & not depressing, which is everything to me. I seriously am so grateful that the story resonated in the ways I hoped it would and left everyone at least a little hopeful in the end.

(I even had a reader request Jaqueline have her own series...!!...I make no promises, but I'm sure she'll show up again in somebody's series, if not her own 😉)

Scarlet Hunger was ranked #1 New Release in Teen & Young Adult Ghost Stories and it was also a #3 Best Seller in the category, giving some side eye to V. E. Schwab! That's incredible. So, again, thank you all for making that happen.

And I'm going to take a minute to remind you, if you enjoyed the book—don't forget to leave a review!
