How is it already March?
What's been going on? Well:
The experience with the betas went incredibly well...So well, they wanted a book two...what?! I couldn't believe it.
I'm kind of nervous that the feedback was so positive. It almost seems like a red flag...but I think it's awesome, too, so I'll take it. I'll leave it up to you all to judge.
But! I've decided that there WILL be a series with this character, & this story will be kind of like a prequel vs. a book one...does that ever happen? The prequel written before the series? Ha. I've never heard of that. Oh, well.
Now...an update on the publication of that book:
I began the story with the intention of providing it to my subscribers only. It was a labor of love for my newsletter readers...but then-- I realized I wanted it in paperback. And then I realized, as I mentioned above, it was going to be a lead in to a pretty kick butt series. So I couldn't offer it free to my subscribers anymore : /
But I still wanted something for my subscribers! It was extremely important to me to offer that to everyone. So! I came up with a BRAND NEW exclusive ebook idea for my newsletter subscribers, and honestly: I'm so excited for it! This new story is a lead-in to the Grey Sisters Saga. It is a side story, alternate point of view, occurring within the timeline of Book One, and I can not wait to start it ^_^ Also, please note that it will be exclusive to newsletter readers in ebook format. And it will be only available in ebook format-- but it is possible that it will be available later on in paperback and audio for purchase...because it's going to be SUCH A GOOD STORY...you all might need it on your shelves : )
Writing Update:
After December, I dove back into writing Book One of the Grey Sisters Saga. I had an old draft from a year ago (oh my gosh-- has it been a year?!) and I've been 'recycling' a few of the old words and fitting them into the new version of the draft.
I had intended to finish the book by the end of February, but the story has become a lot longer than I originally expected...so I extended my deadline to March 31. I'm powering through the draft and expect to have A LOT of edits to do in April...but I'm really hopeful that the story will be beloved by you all, as much as it is by me.
After I finish up Book One (drafting & editing), I'm going to work on my new newsletter exclusive : )
I hope you're enjoying the new year!
