My short story, “The Witch of Duva,” has now been published in Germany! I kind of want Dee Hex von Duva to be my burlesque name. But that would require burlesque.
The story is a Ravkan folk tale set in the same world as Shadow and Bone and the Grisha Trilogy, but with different characters. Warning: It’s a bit darker than S&B.
If you’d like to read it in English, you can download it for 99 cents from Amazon, B&N, or iTunes, or you can read it for FREE at Tor.com. (Free!)

Everyone has a different way of working, but my best advice would be to stop revising and just get a complete draft out of the way. My first draft had questions written into the text, multiple versions of the same scene, etc. Just turn off the internal editor and barrel through. You can do it!
