Kwellevonne Update

October 15, 2020 Categories: Blog, J. K. Swift mailing list, Keepers of Kwellevonne

Well, I’m putting on the finishing touches to my Keepers of Kwellevonne short story series and have been trying to decide on a publishing schedule. I think what I’m going to do is release it privately to everyone on my newsletter mailing list for FREE. That only seems fair since you’ve been so patient with me! The plan is to release a story each week for seven weeks (starting this weekend) to my newsletter members, then sometime after that publish it on Amazon for an exorbitant sum. So if you haven’t signed up for my newsletter yet, and you want to read Keepers of Kwellevonne for free, now is the time to do it! As long as you’re on my list before I publish it on Amazon, I’ll make sure you have access to all the stories. After that, you’ll have to pay. Okay, enough with the toothless threats. Sign up Here And of course you can unsubscribe at any time…but make sure you get the free stuff first. That’s what I would do 🙂 Here is a quick look at a new map! Hope to see you in the newsletter. all the best, jk click for larger...

What am I working on now?

May 16, 2020 Categories: Blog

So now that the Hospitaller Trilogy is finished (or is it…?) you might be wondering what I’m working on now. Well… I have a few ideas burning and smelling up the deep recesses of my mind, but first I am committed to finishing up my Keepers of Kwellevonne short story series. I have really neglected this series and feel bad about leaving my handful of readers hanging. Originally I had intended it to be an ongoing series that I could write a story for in between novels as a kind of break from doing my longer works. But the short stories never sold very well, and with the expenses of covers, editing, and time each story took to bring to market, I guess I lost my drive. However, I love some of the characters and they refuse to leave me alone. So, I have come up with a solution. I will finish the current plotline, which will make the series 6 stories in total, 3 of which are already published. The 4th is written, so I just need to write the 5th and 6th. I will end up with something about the length of a novel, so I will...

Did I say Hospitaller was going to be released on May 29th? Well, it looks like I was wrong because it is available right now! As I have done with all my previous books, it will be available for a week or so at a reduced price (US$4.99 equivalent) and then it will go up to its regular price (US$7.69).
