Hello all!
I hope everyone is well during these bizarre and difficult times. My family and I have been doing our part by sheltering-in-place since March and wearing masks during trips to the grocery store. I didn’t know I would become a home-school teacher all of a sudden, but we’re making it work! I’m optimistic that we can all get through this if we stick with recommended safety measures, and I hope you all stay safe and well!
Despite the general life upheaval, "Curio Citizen" and other aspects of my writing career are going great! I am about to turn in my newest draft of "Curio Citizen," and I will keep the updates coming as the project progresses. I am confident that each round of edits is improving the story, and I’m excited to share it with you all.
I am also thrilled to announce that back in January, my dark fantasy novel "Lodestone" got a traditional publishing deal! In my last update, I mentioned that I was querying publishers and agents, and my hard work and persistence paid off. In addition, I recently found out that "Lodestone" was a Top 25 Finalist in the Launch Pad Manuscript Competition after being assessed by a panel of judges from the film/tv entertainment industry.
I’d LOVE to fill you all in on the many projects I have going on, (including a short ghost story that will be included in a horror anthology this fall), so I invite you to follow my author accounts on social media. I will be creating an email newsletter soon for those who prefer updates that way. I will continue to post all "Curio Citizen"-related updates here as well.
If you choose to follow one (or more) of my social media accounts, you’ll be just in time for "Lodestone"’s cover reveal next week! Let me just say that the artwork is AMAZING, and I’m excited for an April 2021 release.
Thank you once again for your continued interest and support! I love you all!
