The End in Sight 2021

The End in Sight


chess board


Dear Reader,


As 2021 drew to a close, I knew how the Draoithe Saga ended. I could see it. I didn't have all the scenes in between yet, but I knew they would come. It's been a long crazy ride since then, and I still haven't written The End.


It saddens me I can't write full time, or I might have finished the saga. I doubt I could publish it all that fast, but I can dream.


I'm still publishing, but things are moving slower because my hiatus from the education world ended, and I'm back to being only a part-time author. I know some of you want the entire thing all at once, but it's hard to edit that way. And publishing the backlist to Radish and Just Let Me Read the Dream takes time.


I'll try to keep up and publish the backlist as fast as I can. There are stories left to write and new formatting and editing are available. AI audio, videos, and more are in the works.


Dragon King Rising Book Cover


Dragon King Rising launched in January 2021. That was the latest volume in the Mor Tuath miniseries. Since then, I launched the newsletter, published several spinoff tales, and published a few exclusives, which are available to my subscribers only, and published a few stories only in my Payhip Store.


My professional career takes up a lot of my time. I apologize in advance if you loved having my stories coming at you fast. The process to go wide has also taken its toll, but I think the stories will have a better life if they travel far and wide.

I'm always writing. Writing the story as the scene comes to me, I don't write to the market. I want to tell a story I want to read. I never use a plot guide (?) or a story arc. My background is in social science, so I don't know how to story outline and most of the terminology for writing eludes me. I'm picking up the lingo as I go, but I just needed to write my stories. I shared them by publishing, hoping others might enjoy them as I do. If you have only just stumbled over Ophelia Kee's stories from the Draoithe Saga .allow me to extend your formal Welcome to the dream...


Publishing and Marketing?


Lunar Dark Book Cover


Learning how to handle all the publishing has been a full-time job and has been fun, but takes time. I think I finally have a handle on publishing, and I think I know how to make it all a success, eventually. Sadly, I lack the funds to make it all happen overnight, so I'll do it as I do everything. One thing at a time.


Maybe when it's all done and the last page is published, I'll finally have the money and the time to devote to advertising it properly. To all of you who've followed me faithfully since you stumbled into the dream, thank you. I promise not to quit until it's quitting time. (There are other stories in the works!)


From the reader's perspective, the story is a long way from the end. From my perspective, it's nearing completion. If I can, I'll have it all done and published by the end of time. It's going to be epic.The Vampire King will help, but he's dark and twisted. Whether he's an ally remains to be seen. Peter Elliot, Meid Breach, and Bushyasta, along with a few other minor shadowy evil characters, are going to get theirs, though. I promise!


Sneak Peek at Darkest Desire


Darkest Desire Book Cover


Darkest Desire is the last tale in the Lyons Gate miniseries.


“Lotane found Fury. He demanded I bring the warg and lay waste to his enemies. It infuriated him, the atrocities being committed against... ‘lesser Ceries’?” Luke looked at them. 

Simon hoped Fury was safe. Learning of his friend's abduction had him itching to join the mission to rescue him. He owed the dragon for saving his ass once.

Simon shook his head. Zephyra looked at him as if he were crazy. So did Brand. They just didn’t understand Leviathan as Simon did, confused about what a ‘lesser Cerie’ was.

“Lotane lost his mind to grief when he lost Cerie. Now every woman who gets hurt, he sees as if it were Cerie herself. Wade is the Warg King because the last one accidentally bumped into a Strix in a hallway in the palace. Lotane burned him out of existence and left the marks on the floor as a reminder of how women were to be treated and how real men weren’t allowed to be careless.” 

Simon explained to those who didn’t understand the guilt Leviathan suffered after losing Cerie. Luke raised his eyebrows and whistled.

“That’s some serious Godfather shit.”

“The Demon Lords still prefer the old hierarchy and feudal system. In their world, it works. Trust me.”


Boxed Sets are now available!


Dread Allies Boxed Set


It's been a long haul. Lyons Gate has wrapped up. Apocalypse Averted has also wrapped up. If you missed the Grim Reaper story hour, all I can say is having a god from the dream visit Draoithe was fun to write.


The new website on Payhip is up and running with Boxed Sets! I've learned a lot about publishing wide and the newsletters have a few freebies. Paid ads are still in the future. I need quality book covers first. One thing at a time, right?


Leaving reviews


Thank you all for being the best readers. Your support has meant the world to one crazy old tiger. I need to get busy writing some more stories. When you read, please be kind and leave your reviews. Until next time...

Be Careful!

Happy Reading,

Ophelia Kee
