News Roundup

As usual, there's lots going on here. I'm gearing up to release eARCs of The Enemy Within around the first of September. Now, when I say I'm excited about this one, y'all are gonna remind me that I always say that, but this one's different. Bobby Upton is one of my favorite characters and I have just been head over heels in love with him since he popped into my head while I was writing The Prophecy

I'll also have a cover reveal for TEW around that time, first elsewhere and then here, so keep an eye out for that.

So, if you're keeping up with my writing progress, you might notice that Tempered's bar keeps going back and forth. It's not because I'm deleting text, honest! Initially, I estimated that it would run around 70,000 words in length, but the more I write, the more story there is that's left to be told. Right now, I'm estimating that it'll come in around 80,000 words, though who knows. Hawthorne and Aaron are proving stubborn!

This one ought to be interesting for those who'd like to delve a little more deeply into the world of the People.

I've begun work on the first draft of Second Chance Christmas. The progress meter will go up as soon as I'm finished with the first draft of Tempered. Yes, I'm still working on Say Yes. Levi's story has had to take a temporary back seat while I finish up some non-LV projects.
