"Kissed by a Rose" was the novel that created my Westmouthshire Universe - by which I mean it was the first novel written to be set there. I suppose, technically, "Eternally & Evermore", the second novel to be set there, turned it into a "Universe". But I digress.
"Kissed" was originally published by Phaze Books, an imprint of Mundania, and its publishing rights reverted to me a couple of years ago when Mundania folded. I republished it through KDP last year, and now it's available on Bookapy too.
As with the last few novels I've bought over to SOL, I have some HTML work to do on the files extracted from the ePub, but once I've done that I can start to submit it here. We're probably looking at this weekend before it starts to post.
As with "Eternally & Evermore", there are a lot of chapters, 52 including a prologue & epilogue, but they are quite short, most of them less than 2000 words. The novel is about 91,500 words in total. So I'll probably post 2 - 3 chapters a day over the next couple of weeks.
I've mentioned it before, but "Kissed" was inspired by Don Lockwood's story, "Transcending the Role", although, the word count is almost 3 times that of Don's story so there should still be some surprises in there for those of you that have read "TtR". And if you haven't read "TtR", then give it a go. It's a really good story in Don's distinctive Romantic style.
