But what is the reason this series is ending? Why will it not be re-published?
The reason is simple and it’s this:
A complete do over of the Their Circumstances series. It has morphed into the Scarred Souls series, and it’ll be longer, heavier, darker, better, and told chronologically. No more short stories spattered all over the place, no more skipping back and forth in the timeline. This time it’s done correctly, more true to the original idea I had for these characters way back when.
There’s going to be a lot of tears and blood and hurt and love. Characters will be dealing with debilitating mental illnesses, traumatic pasts and presents, self-destructive behaviours and dysfunctional relationships. It’s going to be dark, realistic, and it’s going to hurt. But they’ll get there – in the end.
The books are as follows:
1. Scarred Souls. The redoing of the short story. Told from both Josh and Damian’s POV. It has gone from a short 8K story to a 62K novel, and though some part of the short is still in here, everything has changed.
2. Inked Souls. The redoing of Skin Deep. Told from Kian’s POV, detailing his beginning relationship with Silver. This is the book that has changed the least in the rewrites. A 45K short novel.
3. Broken Souls. The redoing of Measured Doses. Some of the scenes from the novella is still in here, but the situations have changed. It is a complete redoing. This time around it’s a 62K novel.
4. Imperfect Souls. The continuation of Broken Souls. Chad, Dion, and Jeremy needed more and more they got. A 45K short novel.
And still in progress: Wounded Souls, a complete redoing of Inner Demons/Yesterday’s Tears, told from Josh’s POV. Everything has changed. Lost Souls, a complete redoing of Matt’s parts of Yesterday’s Tears. Some scenes are familiar, but the plot has changed.
To come is Troubled Souls and Damaged Souls. And I won’t be saying anything else about those for the time being.
For those of you who’ve been following my blog, you might have seen that the Their Circumstances series has been ripped apart and reborn into the Scarred Souls series, where the stories are told in full (novel and novella length titles) instead of the short stories of the TC series. It has changed POVs, from 3rd to 1st, events have changed… all in all, most of the things established in TC has changed.
There will be no more book in the THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES series. But this doesn’t mean that this is the end for these characters. They will come back better, stronger – and longer. You see, back in March I kind of rewrote the original short story SCARRED SOULS – and it ended up at 62K. Josh and Damian wanted their story to go differently, and that’s what happened.
Matt will get his own novella, which will be a rewrite and more fleshed out version of his parts from YESTERDAY’S TEARS. This one will be titled LOST SOULS.
