Baby’s First Editorial Letter – aka. handling my novel edits

Both last and this year have been full of author firsts for me. In 2014, these ranged from signing my first novel contract for Forge of Ashes to speaking on convention panels to attending GenCon and much more. It was fun and exhausting and exhilarating in equal measures. 2015 now […]
