It is finished. The final edits have been done. My novella will be out on November 5th.

You might have questions:

Novella? What novella?

I’ve written a 20,000 word novella. Actually, it is more of a novelette.

nov·el·ette – /ˌnävəˈlet/

noun

a short novel, typically one that is light and romantic or sentimental in character.

What’s it about?

It’s a lesbian, sweet, holiday romance. You can read about it by clicking here or visiting www.pilgrimfowlpress.com.

So, it’s erotica? A sex book?

No. Emphatically, no.

While there is bad language in the book, that is the only reason it would get a PG-13 or R rating if it were a movie – Potty words.

Sex is suggested and implied, but never spoken about or described. I leave that people who want to write erotica. I just wanted to write a cute, heartwarming story, so I did…under a pen name.

Why under a pen name? You embarrassed to be writing that kind of thing?

Not at all. It’s a business strategy.

It is kind of like how we see Nora Roberts on a book and think, “Okay. That’s a romance book.” Then, we see J.D. Robb, and think, “Okay, that’s a thriller.” Nora Roberts and J.D. Robb are the same person, but readers know what kind of story they are going to get from the author by which author voice she uses.

I am hoping to cultivate a collection of holiday, sweet romance novelettes, novellas, and novels that tell stories about all kinds of relationships, couples, and groups.

What is the pen name…author voice?

Lily Dae.

If you’re interested, please visit Pilgrim Fowl Press, and RSVP to the launch! This signs you up for a newsletter for this author voice. In the next day or two, I’m going to start sharing snippets from the book, do a cover reveal, and I am even going to give digital ARCS away!

Barbara Burgess is a writer which is made apparent by the text in this box and the box above. She is best known for being a multi-genre/multi-writing voice author who throws caution to the wind when describing her writing career - "Oh, I write children's books, holiday romance, and sci-fi. Why? What do you do? Just one thing?" In addition to being a writer of all the things, she is the founder of Pilgrim Fowl Press and a writing facilitator bringing permission to write to the masses via Skillshare and Udemy. The only social media she frequents is Instagram (@hellothisisbarbara). Her desert island movie is Stargate (the original with James Spader), and she has been taking daily mug shots of her morning coffee since before Instagram was even a thing.
