What’s Up Wednesday 25
What I’m Reading
THE WITCH HUNTER by Virginia Boecker.
I finished this book this past weekend, and holy cats, it’s good. Get it on your wishlist ASAP because it’s got an awesome MC, a vibrant cast of characters, brilliant world building, and superb plotting.
I’m currently reading SNOW LIKE ASHES, which is fantastic so far, and then I’ll be reading THE NIGHTMARE CHARADE, the final book in THE NIGHTMARE AFFAIR series by Mindee Arnett. I’m so excited and sad to see where this last book leaves the c...

Gates Book 2: Updates!
Long time, no blogging! I have to get back to doing What’s Up Wednesday. That was always fun 
Anyway, here are a few updates on book 2 in the Gates of Thread and Stone series.
1. It has a title! Book 2 will be called… *drumroll*
THE INFINITE
If you’ve read the first book, you’ll understand this title immediately. At first, I really wanted something “this and that” to match the first title, but no combination of words fit. THE INFINITE, however, sounds just right!
2. THE INFINITE will release March...

Gates of Thread and Stone releases today
I began writing this book in the summer of 2011. Three years later, I finally get to share it with the world. It’s only 9 am, and I’ve already run the gamut of emotions.
At first I was like:
And then somewhere between friends congratulating me on twitter and seeing my first rating on Amazon, it became:

WHATEVER. MY BOOK IS OUT IN THE WORLD, AND REGARDLESS OF MY WHIRLWIND EMOTIONS, IT WILL ALWAYS BE THIS:

Two Weeks to Gates of Thread and Stone
TWO weeks left until Gates of Thread and Stone. I’ve lost the ability to function. HOW MAKE WORDS?

I was only expecting 10. I got 25 instead o_o WHAT DO I DO WITH ALL OF THEM?
And then yesterday, the UPS truck stopped again!!! And delivered these:
