It’s been a rough couple of
months. On a personal note, I recently lost my grandma Sophie who was one of
the sweetest, most charming and loving people I’ve ever known. She was one of
the foundations for who I am and everything I’ve done. I’ll never stop
missing her. My world will be a little dimmer now that she’s no longer
in it. Of course she’s with me in spirit and she made a point to tell me she’d
watch over me, but it’s still tough.
On a professional note, the
publishing industry continues to be an unconscionable ball-breaker. Series are
getting axed left and right, which is a good and bad thing for us writers.
Obviously, having fewer series to write hits us in the wallet. However,
it frees us up to pursue our own passions and get our projects out there in ebook
format. To that end, I’ve been hard at work on several different fronts. Book
two of The Gillis Ledgers is coming along nicely and should be released in a
month or two. After that, I’ll be hard at work on Book 8 of Skinners. Around
the same time as the new Gillis comes out, I’ll be releasing the first book in
a brand new steampunk series. More on that later, but I’m very excited about
it!
Hope you all are doing well and
don’t worry, I’ll have more for you guys to read real soon!
