When Inspiration Just Happens
A few weeks ago, I posted a blog (that I didn't publish here—whoops!) where I mentioned I was only working on one project for the first time in nine months
Well, that didn't last long…
Today’s blog post offers an update on my progress on The Way of the Wielder, book four, as well as a glimpse at something that popped into my head rather suddenly last week.
Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and join me.

Mission Aboard the Longfin is here!
I've done it again. This time, with a middle grade story!
Mission Aboard the Longfin is a magical realism adventure story, appropriate for ages 9-12 (although it’s fun for all ages).
I've published a blog post about this book, going into detail about what it means to me, and my hopes for those who read it. Check out that blog post here: https://sarahjhoodlet.com/blog/your-m...
Or if you're already sold, you can buy it on Amazon now: https://a.co/d/i3H56NC

Cover Reveal for Convergence of Connection!
Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention please:
Without further ado, I present to you the cover of Convergence of Connection!
Check out my latest blog post for an in-depth look at what’s on the cover, as well as read the blurb. (NOTE: The blurb talks about what happens in book three; naturally, that means there are spoilers for previous books.)

Keep calm and read on, my friends.

The Passing of a Parent
Sorry I haven’t been around much lately. April was an unexpected whirlwind…
My family suffered a great loss earlier this month, when my mom suddenly passed away. Fortunately she didn’t suffer, but that doesn’t make it any easier to bear.
Join me as I try to put into words the heavy and complex grief of parental loss, and talk a bit about how my mom was—above all else—my biggest fan.
https://sarahjhoodlet.com/blog/the-pa...
Hug your loved ones tight. You never know when the last time will be.
CW for blog: death, grief

Six Months On...
I meant to post this on Thursday, because as of that day, The Way of the Wielder was published six months ago! 🥳
Can you believe it!? In some ways it feels like yesterday; in other ways it feels like a lifetime ago.
In Thursday’s blog post, I offer a shallow dive on sales, my sincere thanks, and a glimpse at what’s next.
Come on. Grab a cup of your favorite fall beverage and join me!
