Life and Writing Schedule Updates: December 2020

 Hey readers!

I feel like I haven't had a real heart-to-heart post in here in awhile--which, let's be clear, is because I am a boring adult who does boring things that I'm sure no one wants to hear about. But, in the spirit of oversharing my life, here goes: today I basically sold my soul for new flooring (told you my life was boring). The carpet in my house is 30+ years old and is frankly something that must've been spawned by Satan himself because it is that disgusting. Not that this little fact made forking over the deposit any easier. (I'm not supposed to talk about money stuff right? That's a taboo subject, right? Whatever.) No pressure to the installers or anything, but this new flooring better be so pretty I want to lick it.

Anyway, I ate my feelings away after that (salted caramel milkshakes are, in fact, the shit). And now I'm writing my little heart out.

Highlight of my week? I've basically adopted a fox who comes to my backyard to find any stray snack crumbs my 1 year old drops (🤦‍♀️). Mr. Fox destroyed my kids outdoor toys, but he was SO CUTE and I really want him to be my pet fox now, but my husband said no (<--further reason to adopt him), and when I asked my husband why he said because it's a feral fox, you crazy ho. (He didn't really say that, but it DOES make the story a little less boring, right? And I already told you my life was boring-as-crap, so, you're welcome.)

Anyway, you all probably want to know about my writing schedule and Death (The Four Horsemen #4), and muahaha, I made you read this far to get to the good stuff. All right, so at the moment, I'm working on one of my secret projects. It's a NA fantasy romance and I am being super secretive about this project since I always seem to lose interest when I talk about a project. What I will say is that I'm absolutely in love with my story idea! I've been working on it on and off for the last three years, and I'm going to try to finish the entire series before I release any of the books in this series.

I'm also working a little bit on Death--I'm not officially going to start writing Death's book until the new year (I gave myself the end of the year to write whatever I wanted to while I plotted Death's book in the background), but I've already written some of the book anyway because this final horseman is just so damn interesting! I'll have more on him once the new year rolls around.

I've also been working a little on The Disappearing Act (The Vanishing Girl #3). Again, super freaking fun! I hope to finish that book after I finish my secret project.

Oh, and lastly, as far as the Famine audiobook goes, it's all recorded, and hopefully it will be released in the next couple weeks!

Hugs and happy reading!

Rhapsodic FAQ

Image
After reading Rhapsodic (The Bargainer #1) , my NA paranormal romance novel, many of you had questions concerning various details of the story. Below I've answered many of them. Reader beware, if you haven't yet read Rhapsodic and you intend to, there are many, many spoilers ahead, so read with caution.  Release date for A Strange Hymn (The Bargainer #2) I’m not giving a specific release date for this book mainly because I have a bad habit of either (1) blowing past my deadlines, and/or (2) stressing out and being a pain in my friends’ and family’s ass trying to finish my novel in time. It takes me about three to four months to write a book, and I’m starting book two January of next year, so you can roughly expect the book to be out around mid-spring of 2017. Where did you come up with the story line for Rhapsodic? So, back in early 2014 I agreed to be part of what was to be the Moonlight Cravings Anthology. I was supposed to write a paranormal romance novel

Bewitched Pre-Order, Release Date, and Teaser

  I’m so excited to announce that Bewitched , the first book in my upcoming paranormal romance series, will be coming April 18, 2023! Even more exciting, you can pre-order it here ! Below is the new and improved description (I had help) as well as a teaser! *** *** For months I’ve been saying that Bewitched would release winter of this year, and when I made those announcements, I was slated to have it out around the holiday season. However, since then I signed over the series’ print rights to Bloom Publishing, a decision I’m SO thrilled about. My being with Bloom means that you’ll be able to find Bewitched in more bookstores, and it also means the book will be more polished than it might otherwise have been, and the physical copies will have professional touches that some of my previous indie books might’ve lacked. It also means—and this is a big one for me—that my schedule will be more reliable. I’m a hot mess of a human. I don’t say that to be cute—I really will accidently let all

Bewitched is Now Out!

Image
Bewitched , the first book in my new paranormal romance series, is out now! You can find it here !   For someone who is supposedly good with words, I don’t really have any to adequately describe how I feel right now. It’s been five years since I started a new series, so this feels oddly momentous. I began writing Bewitched  as a sort of palate cleanser between my Four Horsemen books, which were dark, heavy, and—many times—bleak. My first love has always been paranormal romances, so writing this book was like returning to the heart of what I loved about reading and writing—falling into a world of magic and ancient curses and, most of all, love. As soon as my Four Horsemen series finished, I was drawn right back into the story of Selene, a witch who suffers from magical memory loss, and Memnon, the ancient warlord Selene accidentally awoke from deathless sleep.   Bewitched is the first book of a planned trilogy. There will also be two additional novellas (books that are about half the
