You ever set yourself up to do a chore at the house. And while doing that chore you come across another then you notice the plants need watering, and while doing that you spot the tomato plant as ripe tomatoes needing picketing, so you go to grab a bowl and so on and so on… haha. Well, that’s what’s been going on with mine and Talon’s books.

DOMINION NEWS:

To start, The Dominion of Brothers series all got a refresher to bring them up to date, including some cover do overs and a new round of editing. Just as last year when i did the same for all the Teddy Bear Collection in time for the newest release in the series. It was a good move all around, the DoB series is worth it, plus it refreshed the whole story in my head, helping me as I finish the series in Talon’s place. If you already own the books, go to the online bookstore where you bought them to download the updated editions. If you haven’t bought them yet, what are you waiting on?

The timing was perfect too. As you all know, The Dominion of Brothers Series is also published in French through Juno Publishing, except they dropped the ball and never fulfilled the contract we had with them. While we were perfectly happy to stay with them, their actions continued to degrade the quality of Talon’s books and I made the decision to take the books back and get them redone and they’re almost ready to get re-released 100% under TPS Publishing. Then we’ll finally be able to get the next in the series translated and released for our French fans.

Okay, okay, okay, I’m getting to it. Yes, the book you all have been pulling your hair out to see finally get released… Book 8, Seducing his Tierf is scheduled to be released near the end of 2024. And that is all I am saying for now. Let’s not jinx it. lol

RETIRING A PENNAME:

After considerable debating, pausing then debating again, the decision to retire the penname STEPHAN KNOX was made. It was just too much work juggle another name and finding no benefit from it, so all of Tarian’s title will now be under TARIAN P.S. With the first of the two KEEPING WITH DESTINEY already converted and it got a new round of editing because why not.

Anail Dhragain will also be changed over and re-released sometime this year.

NOW FOR THE BOOK NEWS!

We have a new book coming out THREE WRONG TURNS by Tarian PS. and you’re here now for the big reveal!!

Pika never wanted to leave his Hawaiian home but his father ripped that from him. Now, every day he lives under the threat of his ol’man’s fist and the toxic malediction from that of a new stepmother. He’s learned to cope within this hellish existence, while keeping all eyes out towards the horizon where his escape into freedom and a better life awaits him. He just has to keep his head down low, long enough to finish school then he’ll be free to get away forever. Adding to his responsibility, he does all he can to shield his new stepsister, Ripley, from the same suffering.

Upsetting the status quo, wouldn’t you know it, a cool, tall drink of Japan walked into his life, tempting his heart with an invitation of love, pointing the way towards a happy life, while putting him all that much more in danger.

Strangling him into a no-win situation, juggling between personal fulfilment and masking under isolation for the sake of self-preservation.
