Hello, everyone!

Did you know that the typical time it takes for a writer to go from book contract to publication is between nine months and two years? Given that my contract really didn’t begin until September, we are on trend.

There are many steps in the publishing process. I am holding steady in the revision stage, which is both exciting and fatiguing. This stage, the most tedious to me, is the most important, because it means that the team and I are working diligently to deliver House of the Broken Promise in its best form. The point isn’t just to get published, but to publish something special. We don’t want my book to be average. We want it to be great, and to be great takes meticulous work and loads of time. It is so hard to be patient after Anna’s story has been with me for so many years; but I am so excited by what is coming out of this process.

I’ll be sure to update again when we move to the next step.

Thanks for sticking with me!

Hi, everyone! A quick update as to next steps: Inkshares has my manuscript and will be reviewing it within the next two months. After that, it goes into editing, proofreading, copyediting, etc. These steps take a considerable amount of time and also depend upon how many manuscripts are ahead of mine in the queue. Once those steps are complete, we will do the cover design, layout, back cover, and all the other fine tuning. The process is a marathon not a sprint, despite my drive for this book to get into your hands asap. The most important thing is that we get it right, so I am trying to be patient! I will update you as things progress, but rest assured, it’s going to happen! Thank you for your patience and support!
