Phew. We made it to the other side of release day. I am officially six times published, proud but trying to stay humble. As always, there’s still work to be done. For now, I’m taking a little room and time to celebrate. I’ve said it somewhere before but, as an indie, as a creative in general, no one will ever care as much as you. That being said, having a support network is priceless.
My network definitely showed up for me, on release day, yes, and every other day. I am so, so grateful for that. You all have my utmost gratitude and eternal thanks! My head is still reeling from all the attention.
Consequently, I decided to take yesterday off from everything. Yes, I squirmed a bit while not working on anything, however while I’m not burned out yet, it’s always possible, so I gave myself the space. I forget to do that … more often than not, actually. How did it go? Well, I made it through most of the day before the Fae-Cursed crew dropped a bunch of book 3 plot points in my lap. I guess all the attention got to them, too, because the continuation of their story has been sitting on the back burner for literal months.
What’s next? Promotion, always. Editing has become a more official thing for me. Not that I’m actively searching for jobs, but I suddenly have one anyway. That doesn’t effect me in the public eye, but it does open some doors and possibilities for my future, which is exciting. Then what? The Sevina Gate project has gotten stalled a few times, but we are still working on it, just slower than we thought it would go. You can’t rush brilliance, though, so sometimes you have to accept the setbacks. Fine. We’ll keep rolling forward, just … slowly. I will eventually be in the market for some readers for the first installment, so anyone interested in a post-apocalyptic, fantasy/science fantasy mashup with a character-driven plot line, and things like magic-tech but also fantasy races plugged into a more modern setting—don’t hesitate to contact me.
My next in-person event is still in October. Here:

And I think that’s all the news for now. One more time, thank you so much everyone for helping me have a successful book release day!
