So, I had several people complain about the mashup nature of these serials. I think many did not understand what a "mashup" genre was, but I also wanted to listen to their constructive criticism.
I am currently going back and updating more of the language that I had kept to preserve the historical context and mashup nature of the serials. I am also adding an explanation of the setting and definition of "mashup" to the front material in the final books. I hope that this helps readers understand what they will be reading as well as that it fixes some of the problems people were having with the language.
I fully accept that it is much easier and better received to do a comedic mashup like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I have a similar book like that in the works, but I don't know if I will finish it this year since I am behind in my publishing goals and since I have spent the past few months trying to iron out what I could do to make these series more interesting and likeable to you, the reader. At the same time, I believe that this new non-comedic form of mashup also is entertaining and can be enjoyed by many.
I am going through and updating the new content on the blog as I get it loaded into Amazon. As soon as I complete that process, I will finish the book I was in the middle of posting here, and start the next one for you. All of this should be done in the next two weeks.
