Work hasn’t stopped on the site, and things are going as smoothly as possible, it seems.

We’ve gotten to the point where we have author pages, book pages connected to their particular author, and now a Submission Guide for those authors and artists wanting to submit their work to Converted Books for consideration for publication.

If are you are someone who is looking for some freelance work in editing, marketing, etc., feel free to get in touch with us at [email protected] for more information on how this would work. (Please note that these would be 1099-related positions where you would be responsible for your own self-employment taxes.)

Aya’s Dragon

Published by Converted Books on January 30, 2022

Aya’s Dragon is the first novel in Anna’s first Young Adult series. From the book’s rear cover:

“Aya is a young woman who loves dragons and craves one of her own.

Unfortunately for her, Aya’s family is poor, and there are few options available to her in her culture, beyond an arranged marriage over which , as a girl, she has no say. Life is hard in Aya’s world, and women have almost no human rights.

Will Aya ever get the opportunity to have a dragon of her own, and if that opportunity comes, how will she manage to get one in the first place?

Reader Alert: Contains domestic violence and deaths.”

Siofra

Published by Converted Books on January 30, 2022

Anna’s first novel, first released on January 23, 2012, came about because of her being unable to find vampire novels that 1. wasn’t a romance and 2. where the vampire wasn’t looking to be “saved” from their immortal, bloodsucking condition.

Deciding that she couldn’t be the only person seeking such reading material, she sat down and wrote Siofra (shee-fruh), which tells the tale of the vampire Siofra O’Se, turned by accident in mid-1600’s Ireland. From the back cover: “In 1600’s Ireland, young Siofra is torn from her poor family to pay off a debt. She then finds herself working as a servant for a succession of nobles.

When she is attacked by a monster in the night and is accidentally turned, Siofra suddenly discovers she has to learn to how to be a vampire on her own, even though she has no idea what she has become.

For Siofra, life was a series of losses, and she grew hard while she was alive. As a vampire, this makes her comfortable in her own skin and she’s not squeamish about what she has to do to survive.

Looking for a vampire who isn’t squeamish or full of self-hatred? Siofra is for you!

“Siofra” is the first book in “The Sumaire Web” series of novels.

“This installment of The Sumaire Web series is an intriguing and freshly original work by Ms. Anna Rose.” ~ Gaston Sanders“

LUCI: Rhoades to Hell

Published by Converted Books on January 30, 2022

Anna’s deep dive into urban fantasy and comparative theology. Definitely not what you might be expecting.

From the book’s description:

“A grieving human. A bored Celestial.

Professor Hector Rhoades is a comparative theology professor. Tragedy in his life has caused him to make reckless choices and when he makes a certain discovery, jumps right in.

Enter Lucinda Inferi, mysterious businesswoman with an unnatural background.

What will happen, now that the two of them have met?”

What happens when an academic with nothing left to live for meets the Devil and it turns out she’s not at all what he expected? What is his reaction when he goes to Hell and finds out that demons and Hellish torture actually exist?

LUCI: Rhoades to Hell explores preconceptions, grief, loss, friendship, and healing. It is currently intended to be three volumes in length. It also proudly features LGBTIA+ content.

Plans for Our Company – Gotta Start Somewhere, Right?

Published by Converted Books on January 26, 2022

Converted Books is open to most genres, including (believe it or not) poetry.

For now, as you can see, we’re still in the building phase for the site, but eventually we will be accepting submissions. The submission guideline page will appear when we are ready for that phase of things. Upon reading those submission guidelines, if you feel we’re the right fit for you, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re a small publishing house, so we cannot afford to give advances (much as we wish we could), but we also want to do what’s right for the authors who choose to come here. At this point the plan is to be more of a hybrid publisher, offering consultation services, editing, and cover services for a reasonable fee.

Growing the Site

Published by Converted Books on January 26, 2022

As the site’s a New Thing, it’s currently in the processing of being properly grown, which includes pruning bits that whilst they might seem good at the start, are discovered to cause issues, so they are carefully pruned away to allow things to grow as they should.

Sort of website bonsai, as it were.

Anyhow, I really appreciate your patience as the site progresses from its current bleeding raw state to something with just the right number of boughs, branches, and leaves.

The only pity here is there will be no giant pile of dead leaves into which we all might jump.
