Heya folks!
I've been trying to help out with some formatting and the like for DopplerPress books, and I just wanted to share some of my excitement for what we've got in the pipeline with everyone. However, rather than just TELLING you what's coming down the way, I thought it would be more fun to make you guess!
So, here's the deal:
I've got a whole stack of books I'm formatting for us to release on Kindle sitting here on my desktop. Some of these are definitely coming out, some we're still discussing rights for but are almost certain, and unless something goes south, all should be out in the next few months.
From the intentionally vague descriptions below, try guessing at some of what we'll be featuring!
Feel free to discuss it in comments, but just as a warning, I won't be confirming nor denying ANY guesses you may have.
(Note that the below clues are not in order of expected release. Each clue signifies one story... or a collection!)
Clue 1:
A car crash leaves our hero(ine) in a bit of a sticky situation. A ticking clock hangs over their head, but with a little help from friends and family, perhaps they can find a new place in the world.
Clue 2:
Who do you become when you can become anything? Check out these not-so-superhero stories from one of DopplerPress' most prolific authors!
Clue 3:
A science fiction romp with one of the site's most madcap authors as our main character finds themselves escaping captivity... only to find things getting a whole lot more complicated!
Clue 4:
A new volume in the adventures of a brave young vixen and her family, as that family grows ever larger.
Clue 5:
The 22nd volume of short stories from Author X, exploring what it means to pretend to be someone you're not... or, perhaps, someone you don't yet realize you are!
Clue 6:
The first volume in a five-part series from a recent yet very talented author here at BCTS! Two people, one sexual kink(?), and the discovery of a whole new side of our MC's personality.
Clue 7:
Me! I'm getting a book out! Guess which one!
Clue 8:
For the first time ever, all nine tales in this beloved supernatural (sexynatural?) thriller series are joined together. Neither Angel nor Demon can resist the charms of the heroines in THESE stories!
All these, and MORE, are on their way from DopplerPress over the coming months, with a few additional surprises to be tossed in!
Make your guesses, place your bets, and keep an eye out for what we have in store!

HL Mencken’s term for a city featured in my guess for #6.
#5: I'm Not Sure...
...that anyone anywhere has produced 22 volumes of short stories, other than Maryanne Peters. That's the low-hanging fruit here, so to speak.
#6 - I was thinking of Emma Anne Tate, except that there really doesn't seem to be much room chronologically for two more Cami stories, and the short Christmas story wouldn't count as a volume anyway. (Also, the "kink" doesn't last past the first tale.)
#2 - "One of DopplerPress('s) most prolific authors" sounds like Erin/Joyce, though Melanie Brown's space stories might work. (Apparently the book list at https://doppler.press/book-table/ hasn't been updated for at least a couple of years, since Maryanne isn't on it.) Haven't read the Masks series from Stickmaker/Rodford Edmiston, so I don't know to what extent it qualifies. Maybe Amethyst's Hyperverse?
(I was hoping to get my Produce Market Superheroes into a story: the Black Raspberry, Green Goddess, Gad Zukes, Small Potatoes, Cool Cucumber, Red and Green Peppers, I'm forgetting two or three that I came up with some years back. But even if I come up with a premise for them -- I did have one in mind -- and some logical, though not earth-shattering, powers, I don't have a plot. Anyway, #2 brought it to mind.)
#7 - Are you talking about "Double Date Dare"? Thought that was already out...
#8 - Repackaging Maggie Finson's :"Heaven and Hell" and "Peace Bringer" series in one volume?
#3 - Did Laika/Veronica finish one of her works in progress? Probably not, though I certainly hope I'm wrong.

Battle for Earth
I've been reading Battle for Earth and I first read it years ago on this site. Now it is on Kindle and I have no idea about how that happened.
