Yes, I have "retired" my erotica-writing pen names to concentrate on my paranormal romances. In a nutshell, I've been writing more and more paranormal / urban fantasy stuff over the past few months, which has left little time for the erotica, and when I try to write the erotica, I either have to sacrifice my time spent on writing my paranormal books, or the erotica turns into the paranormal stories.... Anyway, you can read my entire decision here, if you haven't done so already http://diannahardy.blogspot.com/2012/01/bye-bye-erika-elysa.html

My writing is still interwoven with eroticism / steamy scenes, it's not just "erotica", which is what it was when I first began eBook publishing just over one year ago.

I'm sure some of you may not be surprised at my decision, and others of you will be.... Will I be giving up writing erotica altogether? I have no plans to write it with the aim to publish, and if I ever do, you may never hear about it ;) Who can say -- never say never.... At the moment, I'm solely concentrating on the three series that I want out this year, so I can't ever say that I didn't give it my best shot.

So that's my news of 2012 so far. My adventures in self-publishing and discovering myself as a writer continues....

The Sands Of Time is running to schedule (finally) and will be out on 31st January. And then I'll be working on Book Three, and also The Eye Of The Storm series (brand new paranormal erotic romance about werewolves and thunderstorms -- yey!).
All of Erika & Elysa's current eBooks will remain available as they are now. Their scheduled upcoming works will need to be rethought -- I was struggling with them anyway, I'm afraid, because I was writing too much. This was a very hard decision to make, and hopefully this news doesn't break anyone's heart (lol, yes, that was said in jest).

Hope you've all had a great start to 2012 so far :)
