First Draft To Drawn Sequel Is DONE!
This is to announce that I have officially finished the first draft of the sequel to my debut Drawn.
It is verrry *first drafty*, but it is done. I am now going to catch up on some reading I have been putting off. Then I'll dig back into my sequel.
Official title of sequel has not been chosen yet. Release date should be middle 2016.
Stay tuned.
