Reversions, Revisions and Reveals, oh my!

As many of you know, Samhain Publishing has closed its doors. This means that my Bollywood Confidential stories — Spice and Smoke, Spice and Secrets and Bollywood and the Beast, are no longer available for purchase in their current incarnations. My plan is to slowly re-release them via self-publishing. I need find new covers, strip all the Samhain-y aspects and probably edit and revise a ton. Here's what you can expect:

Bollywood and the Beast will be back first, sometime in the first half of the year.
Spice and Secrets will be next, likely with some additional text and revisions to make it worth your dollars.
Spice and Smoke is...yeahhhhh. Guys, IDK. It basically needs to be split into two novellas. And it needs a HUGE amount of work. It was my first novella and I've never been quite happy with it. It and its companion novella, Smoke and Ash, will definitely be the last stories to be re-released. I have no idea when that will be. Probably when I've spent all my tears and pulled out all my hair.

Now for some good news! I am putting out a collection of my erotic short stories and novellas, some of which have been published before and some of which are totally new to readers. My target for release is mid-April. It all depends on coding, finding the right distribution platform for me, etc.

Check out the blurb and the cover, which was gorgeously rendered by Romanced by the Cover.




From the past to the future, from hotel rooms to hospitals to homes, passion can bloom anywhere. In this collection of previously released and brand-new stories, Suleikha Snyder describes the many permutations of love, of ishq.

You have a thing for your hot boss. You can’t get your ex out of your head. You’re not supposed to be together. You are supposed to be together. He doesn’t remember you. You can’t forget her. She died. You die. Somehow, love and lust still find a way. 
These are the Ishq Factors.

  1. Wow, thanks for the update! I totally get the headache of revising old work — I’ve tried re-editing some of my early writing and it’s like pulling teeth sometimes. Your plan sounds solid, and I’m excited to see the re-releases, especially Bollywood and the Beast. Funny enough, I often do a quick sudoku puzzle when I’m stuck on revisions; it’s a weird little way to reset my brain and refocus before diving back in. Can’t wait for the collection too!

  2. It's sad to hear about Samhain Publishing. Excited you're self-publishing your Bollywood Confidential stories! Looking forward to Bollywood and the Beast. Spice and Secrets with extra content sounds great. Spice and Smoke sounds like a bigger challenge – maybe it's like trying to master Snow Rider 3D on the hardest track!

  3. Your collection sounds incredibly intriguing, and it’s wonderful to see such a diverse exploration of love and intimacy! I love how you’re blending past experiences with fresh narratives. When you need a break from writing, maybe indulge in a fun game of Retro Bowl for some nostalgic relaxation. Best of luck with your release in mid-April; I can’t wait to read what you’ve crafted!
