The Sorority is book 4 of my Sister Queens Sorority series and picks up where our polyamorous adventurers left off last time sailing around the world, entering Indonesia. The voyage continues around Indonesia, Timor Leste, the Philippines, and the Solomon Islands. Many more characters are introduced as our protagonist adds more catamaran luxury yachts to the fleet with new patrons and crews.

What makes this part of the series so special is that, in addition to the growth of the business, our sexy cruisers much learn to adjust to life with kids! This expanded family causes them to want to separate into three teams of 3 ships each, Team 1, Team 2, and Team Prime which consists of the family and the core group of original patrons. Each team takes off on their own adventures.

But not only this, we see a reconciliation! Not to give away too much, but Kitty returns which results in a stronger solidarity between the Original Queens… Kitty, Petite, and VJ… and the New Additions… Bel-Larenn, Soleil, and Nano. This is why the book is titled, The Sorority!

It’s been 3 years in the making to reach this far in the Sister Queens Sorority series. I am seriously contemplating taking a break before introducing Book 5, Islands of the Indian Ocean and the remainder of the books. Book 6 is Fatwood. Book 7 is The Final Voyage of VeeJay. All three books have been written, but I think I want to do two things.

One, I’d like to take a break to write some more short stories and quite possibly begin another stand-alone novel. This very much MIGHT BE, a full-length novel that follows The Academy of Sex: The Headmaster’s Pupils! I have some ideas for this that I would like to pursue if I can put it all together and build something good from it.

The second reason I want to take a break from the series is that I feel a need to explore those books further and see where I can improve them and possibly maybe bring in some old characters that either didn’t get much attention OR explore some second chance characters. Everybody likes a story of redemption! I’m also investigating a different style format for these last three. Maybe some chapter introductions with a good quote. Or scrutinizing the way each book begins and ends. Do they have a strong start? Does it end on a good note that leaves you salivating for the next chapter? The next book? I want to know these things.

I could very easily see taking the rest of the year to consider these options as I will likely spend some time in Central America for a few months this fall and then come back strong to start the year with some good material. So unless DEMAND is just astronomically high for the first four books and readers insist on Book 5, this is the course I am certain to follow. I won’t pull a George R. R. Martin and hold you hostage for a decade waiting on the next book, (although I do get it a little bit… 3 years, MAX). I’ll have this done soon.

Thanks for your support!
