Spellbound- getting published!!

Yesterday was a big day for me. Huge.

Hellfire Publishing emailed me back and told me they want to publish Spellbound by Fire. No words say exactly what that feels like.

I believe with all my heart in the Spellbound series. Aside from opening every blood vein possible and bleeding  every word of this novel from the depths of some dark places that I never anticipated visiting again, it has been a part of my life since I was a young age. I started Spellbound as an escape from my young life, when I would rather have forgotten about many things that were happening. Writing was always that lifeline.

To say it has risen from the ashes is only ironic. My original copy of Spellbound was destroyed in a housefire some years ago. To see it as a completed manuscript now is an incredibly exhilarating feeling. I never thought I'd see it at this point. After a few rejections it begins to feel like no one understands what you have to say and no one really gets your story. Many writers feel this way. They bleed in words and they breathe the very essence of which creates their stories.

Having someone say that there's an audience out there for it makes everything worth it; the late nights, supporting the coffee industry like no one else could, spending days in front of a computer and forgetting that life actually exists outside the walls that enclose you…

So Spellbound by Fire has found a home. I will be hearing about a release date sometime in the next week or so. And in the meantime before that release date, I will be working away on the sequel.
