All right! Having a bit of time off has paid off. The first 3 chapters of Dark Gift have been submitted. It may go fast. I would love to post it all before the weekend. Please check back in soon to read the end of Flame and Nightshade's tale. Enjoy your reading. Happy New Year everyone! -OK

It's complete! All the chapters of Dark Oath have posted! I did it before Christmas like I promised. Now, it's time to format a book. I hope you enjoy it. I know it leaves one hanging a bit, but the end in Dark Gift is worth the short wait. The manuscript is finished. So, like Dark Oath, it requires only the edits to post the tale. I have two weeks off so let's see how much I can mange between all the family stuff. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! -OK

Saturday Dec. 14, 2024
I managed to post 2 more chapters of Dark Oath today! I don't know if y'all can see them yet, but I am progressing faster than I thought I would. I'm hopeful to get the rest posted by the end of next week and publishing the book before Christmas. Thanks for reading. Welcome to the dream... -OK

Dear Readers,

I wish I could say it was complete, but I can't go that fast. I have posted 4 more chapters. So not the worst-case scenario either. I would have been farther along, but there was an update to the editing and formatting software I use when polishing the scenes. Let's just say I was a rather angry tiger for a few days before they ironed out the issues. So I couldn't access this story until Friday afternoon. I'm hoping to add a few more episodes this weekend, but I'm helping a good friend publish a short story wide this weekend, so cross your fingers. Y'all have a great reading weekend. Welcome to the dream... -OK

Dear Readers,
Dark Oath is coming! Unlike the previous tales. I'm publishing it chapter by chapter. I know everyone wants consistency, but at the moment, I lack the ability to offer that. Instead of setting a date and time when the next chapter will be available. I want to post as fast as I'm able. So I will say I will post at least one chapter a week, but expect surprise chapters at any moment. If you haven't met Flame and Nightshade yet, allow me to introduce them:
Nightshade:



Hannah O’Keefe was a dancer, poised on the verge of joining a dance troupe and touring the world. Her fortunes plummeted when three evil dragons abducted her, transformed her into a broken vampire, and then left her to wither in a warehouse after she failed to perform the magic they wanted. When her handsome rescuer turns out to be a dragon who refuses to let her fade, she finally realizes there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel and she might walk in the sun once more. But to do so means she must commit to becoming Nightshade, a vampire Valkyrie.

Hannah O’Keefe was born touching the well of fire, but her gift was no match for three evil dragons determined to destroy her life. It will take a lot of effort for one magnificent dragon knight to convince her to want to live the cursed life they left her.




Flame







Diarmuid Cinead loved the nightlife, a good fight, good food, and beautiful women. His brothers, except Blaze, mistakenly thought he turned women into vampires to keep for himself, which almost made him give up being a dragon. His brother Blaze finally convinced him to try one last time to find his Valkyrie. He swore fealty to the Dire Wolf King.

Nothing could have prepared Flame for Nightshade. She was a treasure, but damaged, dejected, and fading. Someone stripped her of her entire life, murdered her only family, and turned her into a monster. He would fight for her, die for her, and finally live, only for her.
I have posted chapter 1. I'll post to my wall next weekend with further updates. Thanks to everyone who is reading and taking a chance on the dream. I appreciate you! -OK

I hope everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving Holiday. It was ThanksPublising for me. Dark Curse posted.

I'm thrilled with this first part of Flame and NightShade's trilogy. I wish I could say I was finished with Dark Oath and it would be out next weekend. But that isn't possible. The manuscript is complete, but I haven't finished the read through before it goes into edits. I hope everyone can bear with me. I should post a few chapters next weekend. The day job is serious, but I will get something posted next weekend. Thanks to everyone who has taken a chance on the dream. Whether you subscribed or downloaded a free story to read, I appreciate it. Readers are the very best part of writing. As always, I'll pop back in next weekend and update everyone on Dark Oath. Until then, welcome to the dream...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Sorceress Valkyrie awaits approval! Dark Curse will post this upcoming weekend. Then I must pause until I finish the edits on a few more stories. Thanks to all who read, comment and share. I appreciate you.

Some day I may have more time to devote to my stories. Until then, I can't thank everyone who takes a chance on the dream enough.

The day job is serious and steals my time, but I love to hear from readers. Please reach out. It may take a bit, but I will respond. I'm a real person, scribbling away on my stories every spare chance I get. Until next weekend, enjoy the holiday and the dream... - OK

Dungeon Master awaits approval. This is part one of another duet tale. Sorry if Dungeon Master leaves you edgy for the next half. But I promise it's waiting in the wings. I just need time to get it all posted. You won't have to wait long. I promise. I hope you enjoy meeting Jewel and Blaze.There's a lot more happening in the dream, if you want more, the behind the scenes, audiobooks, video posts etc, I hope you'll visit my site and see the parts of the dream which extend beyond the stories.
Have a great weekend. Welcome to the dream...

Nephilim's Claim awaits approval. I'm excited to share Smoke and Angel's tale with you. I think you'll love them even if she plans to murder her dragon. This tale is wild. Sometimes I think back to when I wrote a story and wonder if it was actually me. I got lost in the reread on this one before editing. I hope it will grant you the same fantastic escape.

Thanks again to all who read, share, and support the dream. You make it worth it to continue my foray into the magic.

An update on where things are going with publishing. Dungeon Master and Sorceress Valkyrie are coming over the next two weekends, but I may have Dark Curse ready to post at the end of the month. Cross your fingers. Have a lovely week. I'll be back next weekend.

Welcome to the dream...
-OK

Nov. 2 is the Day of the Dead!

So maybe it's fitting that I write a post today about a resurrected dragon who found the love of eternity. Lord of Dragons awaits approval and should be available soon! I hope you enjoy the end of Ash and Raven's tale. I put a sneak peek into Nephilim's Claim at the end. It's short, but I think it packs a punch.  

We are still on track to post Nephilim's Claim next weekend and Dungeon Master the weekend after. Sorceress Valkyrie will post following that and then things get iffy. I will pause the publishing until January 2025 at that point. I have the next three stories written, but edits take time. Bear with me.

In January, unless there are objections, I will begin posting chapters rather than full stories. Thanks so much to everyone who is adding my stories to their lists and those who have subscribed. I hope you will continue to enjoy the dream and support my efforts.

Happy Reading,

Ophelia Kee
