It’s been a while. A lot has happened. And by ’a lot’ I mean... a book.

She Is the End is almost done.

I’ve toiled over it, shared it with people I trust, and brought it to a state where I’m really proud to share it with you. I think it’s pretty darn good.

Hey, remember that time when I organized the production of a coloring book promoting 12 different authors in just 10 days during the first Nerdist Contest? Good times! Or when I coordinated the Review-a-Thon? That was so fun! Plus a whole year of the Drinkshares podcast... I’ve met an amazing group of authors here and I will always be incredibly grateful for that.

I’m parting ways with Inkshares now to self-publish, and I wish everyone there all the best. You should be getting your refunds promptly if you ordered via credit card. I sincerely hope you’ll re-order when the book is released.

My book! MY ACTUAL BOOK!!!

I’m sorry, I really am writer, I just got excited. This draft took seven years, people. SEVEN YEARS! Full-time work, grad school, three babies - and now, it’s finally done.

I really hope you love it as much as I do.

Find me on Twitter @acwestonwrites and keep an eye out for the book on Amazon, B&N.com, or ask your local indie bookstore to stock it - they’ll be able to order it through Ingram. I’ll be sending out updates via email from now on, which you’ll be able to opt out of if you want.

Thank you all so much for your support. I’m sorry the journey took so long... I think it’ll be worth it.

Hello, followers new and old!

Thank you, everyone who made Friday a really good day. It was amazing! I appreciate all of the support so much, whether through pre-orders or follows or encouragement. 

Are you wondering how the reading at Mugshots on Friday went? It was GREAT! There were around 20 people there, which was a small enough crowd for me to talk to everyone there. I realized that my trivia questions were way too hard (I thought they'd be too easy!). Renee won even though she could only remember three characters from Firefly. Congrats, Renee!

Special thanks to Leah (seen above right, interviewing me), who is a shining star, and Ben Saine, who directs a pretty awesome cafe.

I'll be reading at the MN Speculative Fiction Writers 2015 Local Author Showcase on Nov 8th at the Acadia Cafe! I only get seven minutes, so I'd better make it good.

The event starts at 3pm and you are all (obviously) invited! I expect all the Canadians to carpool.

Finally, here's a progress snapshot of that Ladies of Scifi poster I'm drawing as a prize for my coloring contest:

I'm going to add Leia and another surprise foundational woman of scifi, just because apparently I can't stop! Alex wants to do some digital color over the pencil; we'll see what we can come up with.

Thanks again, new readers/followers. I'm glad you're here!
