Ahoy! It's an update!

We want to thank everyone who has signed up for the beta test so far! We are so excited that PirateCat Publishing is up and running, and we already have some great feedback and ideas moving forward. Don't be afraid to contact us. We love suggestions and comments, and we strive to respond to our readers as quickly as possible.

For those of you who signed up as Landlubbers to browse, we hope you'll stick around and become Crew Members. The plans are monthly or annually, and they give you instant access to over 30 preloaded books and many more to come, as well as access to forums, commenting capablity, and so much more! You will never be charged upgrade fees to unlock anything else. It's ALL included in your membership no matter what new features we add!

If you're ready to walk the plank, you can upgrade from the free Landlubber rank to a Crew Member here.

Here's a taste of what's coming this fall and winter:

1. Stories will continue updating weekly. There are currently seven stories updating including:

• Snow Kissed (The Immortal Grimm Brothers' Guide to Sociopathic Princesses, Book 1) by MJ Padgett

• I'm Pretty Sure I'm Gonna Hate You to Death Van St. Claire (I'm Pretty Sure About That, Book 3) by MJ Padgett

• The Fallen (The Fallen Chronicles, Book 1) by MJ Padgett

• The Love Project (The Projects of Life, Book 1) by MJ Padgett

• The Extraordinary Extraterrestrial Love Lives of Doppelgangers (Love and Aliens, Book 1) by MJ Padgett and Crystal Crawford

• Ghost Trouble (stand alone) by Crystal Crawford

• LeyGuards, Faespells, and Other Things that Happen at Midnight (Leyward Stones, Book 2) by Crystal Crawford

2. Additional stories will begin early in the new year, including continuation of the series above plus NEW sequels and stand alone books across several genres!

3. The Explore Story Worlds feature will be open this winter! In this section, you will be able to immerse yourself in the worlds created by MJ and Crystal including character biographies, setting descriptions, maps, and so much more! The worlds in Leyward Stones by Crystal Crawford and Evernigh by MJ Padgett are first on the list, but certainly not last. We have SO many worlds to build in this section, and we can't wait to explore them with our readers!

4. A section for printables including maps, bookmarks, character art, and even book club questions and conversation starters will arrive on the site this winter, too! We know it can be a pain to remember a whole new world or navigate back to the main story page when you want to see where a city is, so we want the maps easy for you to print and reference!

We hope to see you in the comments sections or in the forums where we can talk books, plan new stories with you, and enjoy a few laughs!
