I just received word that Jaffa Books, the furry publisher I've been with for some time now, is closing, and that my upcoming physical books, (The Sanguine Canvas, The Garden Maze, and Blood Choice) will not be published with them.

I will be getting the rights back, but *nobody* publishes single-author furry short story collections, so it's not like I can just make this happen somewhere else. I may be able to eventually place a few of the stories individually. Some of them probably not, though, as they're fairly quirky and/or quite long, and not likely to fit into somebody's themed story anthology.

To be honest I'm really kind of crushed right now. I have all these stories suddenly that just...don't go anywhere. They're not erotica, so I can't put them up with my self-pub erotica line, they're not romance so I can't send them to my other publisher. They just get to sit, I guess. I don't know. If I really never can find anywhere to send them, I guess I can eventually post them here. Although, no offense, "put up for free for like 20 people to read but mostly ignore" and "actually publish as a physical, tangible book" are worlds different, even putting monetary factors aside.

The Sacrifice is still coming in paperback, as that is with JMS Books, not Jaffa Books. So there's that.

Sorry this is a downer. I was not having a good day *before* this news. I am very not having a good day now.
