Ophelia Kee Speaks
More Changes in the Dream - Jan. 17, 2025
Dear Reader,
The first week back at the day job after two weeks of vacation was draining. I have gotten little accomplished on the writing front, but behind the scenes, stuff is happening. I believe it is the way of Januaries. Clean up the files, update the blog sites, update the website, and reorganize for the year to come.
I also dealt with far too many issues with YouTube.
It has sadly led me to believe my fiction content doesn't belong on that platform. Instead, I will host the blog video content on Substack and link it to Blogger. I simply don't have time to upload it everywhere, and YouTube can't follow the guidelines for ingesting content, pulling Storycast episodes and blog posts which were never marked for that platform.
The Blogs
I have accomplished some other behind-the-scenes stuff because of adding Ophelia Kee Speaks to Blogger and then back to Substack. It led me to review my failed attempts at long-form posting over the summer. Instead of gathering all the bits together, I need to categorize them and post them in that category regularly. Also, Ophelia Kee Speaks does way too much in one space. It needs a streamlined focus. I reviewed the process and have a solution I want to attempt. What does it look like?
Essays, research, and inspiration all belong to Essays from Draoithe. These articles, videos, and images will post on Sundays at 11 when I complete them.
Draoithe Preview Chapters will showcase rough draft content from the current works-in-progress on Wednesdays when I have new stuff to share. (Blogger only)
Draoithe Saga Storycast and Ophelia Kee Speaks will post on Fridays. The podcast is airing Season Three Episodes and Ophelia Kee Speaks will focus on Upcoming Book Releases, Shameless Self Promotions, and my writer's life wins and losses.
Draoithe Story Hour will continue on Saturdays. Ruined Hearts is currently publishing chapters in Season Two. (Substack only)
Draoithe Videos will continue to work with YouTube to host the story descriptions, character introductions, and the quotes. (Payhip only)

The Website
I updated OpheliaKee.com. I work on it a lot when the muse is silent. After spending a furious two week vacation publishing as much as I could over the holidays, the muse rests in January. One day, I won't work within the restrictions of the day job, but until then, the pattern over the last few years has become clear. January is clean up month.
OpheliaKee.com has a new blog section, a logo, a few SEO changes in the heading titles, and the Suggested Read Order is current. If you haven't looked at the website in a while, please visit, and let me know what you think. Feel free to share with anyone who might enjoy the dream. Thank you so much for your support. Even the small things matter. Readers expand the dream in ways I can't. My gratitude lasts forever.
Publishing News
Flame and Nightshade's trilogy has published all three books. It wasn't easy, but with two weeks of vacation, I finished the edits and published Dark Gift on the last day before I returned to the day job. I felt accomplished. It hasn't been easy since the Great Takedown. So where does the dream stand at the moment?
Kingdom Rising Miniseries is complete!
Royal Council Miniseries is complete!
The Mystic Dark Prequel Trilogy is complete!
The Valkyrie Riders Miniseries has 8 of 12 titles published.
The Mystic Dark Miniseries is currently publishing episodes of Lunar Dark. It's live, and I'm still writing stories.
The Lyons Gate Miniseries has published four titles. Look for the next title to enter edits by March 2025.
The Apocalypse Denied Miniseries has paused publishing as the muse wants to rework the titles following Devil's Sins.
The Gods of the Dream Miniseries published two titles, but it's currently on hiatus until the muse wants to complete the last two tales.
The muse's current favorite work in progress is the Kings Wilde Miniseries. It should publish chapters toward the end of 2025. I'd like to publish The Monarch in December 2025. We shall see.
I also have plans to set up the Dread Desire Miniseries to publish episodes during the summer of 2025. The dream needs demons as much as it needs devils.
I need to get back to edits. Leave your comments and questions. I love to hear from you. Thank you for stepping into the dream once more. I hope you have a lovely weekend and will discover a good story. Please remember when you read, be kind and leave your reviews. Until my next post, welcome to the dream...
Be Careful!
Happy Reading,
Ophelia Kee
