I’m finally taking the plunge and am unpublishing the first two books in my Eternal Curse Series. I’ve been struggling to finish book three in the series because of the major differences in skill-level and style that the latest book is clearly displaying over the two previous installments. So now, I’m going back and doing a major rewrite of the first two books with the intentions to release all three for the 10th-anniversary release of the first book (we’ll see what happens with that).
Even though I’ve unpublished these books, I’d still like to make them available to anyone who’s curious about the books I’ve been blogging about for almost ten years. If anyone would like to obtain a digital copy of the last published editions of these stories, they can join my email list.

The Golden Box Books Publishing online magazine is one of my favorites digital subscriptions, and not just because I’ve been featured a bunch. It has really cool content. This month contest winners are announced and there are some cool character interviews.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing to unpublish and rewrite your books. I’ve seen many authors do this, especially with a book series. One of my other author friends is doing the same thing right now. When several years have passed between book one and book three, I think it’s only natural for the writing to be really different. As writers, we change and improve so much as the years pass. I hope you enjoy the rewriting process. I’m looking forward to reading the new versions and the new book.
Thank you for your words. It was a tough decision, but I know it’s the right one.
I know several author who have unpublished their first books so they could rewrite them better. Releasing all three together sounds like a great idea.
Thank you. Since the third book has only been held up by my lack of confidence in the other books, releasing them all together will be a nice way to pool all my efforts into one marketing campaign.
Toi, these are your babies and if you feel like this is what you need to do, go for it! It is a tough decision and I am proud of you and can’t wait to see what you do with them! xoxo
Thank you so much. It really means a lot to have support from so many authors whose work I enjoy and respect.
