One Week

Hello, friends! I’m dropping in with a little news and some excitement on my end. In one week, A Place With No Dawn launches and I’ll be published yet again. I know that has been the plan basically since I released The Stolen back in August, but now we’re almost there and it has started to feel surreal. There’s something to be said about the phases of indie publishing, and one of those things is that even after spending months, sometimes years, working on a book, once you get so close to it being a reality it stops feeling real at all.

I also know I said from the start it was a crazy plan. That’s still true. I’m staring at hindsight now, thinking . . . I really did release a book in August, release a joint-venture novella in December, and am dropping another book at the top of March. That’s not to say I wrote any of them that quickly. No, it took much longer and their completion just happened to line up in a way that I could do that. It’s still a lot. I can at least say I doubt you’ll see another release from me for a while after March 2nd. That’s fair, right?

I did register the other day for the Cocoa Village Book Fest. It was my first-ever event last year and, though I had hoped to have an earlier event lined up this year, things have played out so that the Book Fest on April 18th will again be the first of the year. That’s okay. I’m learning to trust the universe in things like this. Also, Mercury Retrograde is in full effect and I’m leaning into the downtime, other than promotion.

I’m going to try to drop another excerpt or character feature some time this week, but I’m not even promising that much. I’m finding the third book hard to feature because there are a ton of spoilers for the first two books throughout it. I do have an idea of my release day sample and I’ll say this. Though Casper is not the main character, No Dawn is making him seem that way. He insists he should get his own book eventually, which I may do, but it would be after I finish writing Crows 4. So, way in the future.

Anyway, I think that’s all the rambling for now. If I don’t see you before then, I’ll definitely be back on March 2nd to celebrate the release of A Place With No Dawn, Order of Crows book three. Happy Sunday, my friends!
