Do Not Open 'Til Christmas!

This is the week that all things happen! It's also the week of Christmas, which is exciting all by itself!

My "real life" work has slowed down so I am taking some time off, which means... I'm a writer once again!

This is the deal ~ I am currently reading RtB for the one hundred and second time (exact number unknown) and then continuing on to read the 300 pages I've already written for the sequel. The goal: to reconnect with the characters, making certain everything is as it should be. I need to immerse myself back where I belong... in Weslyn!

Then I'M FINISHING THE SEQUEL! By Christmas morning I should have the most fabulous gift in my editor's e-mail inbox!! No, I still don't have a title. I know that may be strange to some, but I really need to finish every page and then step back and let the title emerge. As soon as I have it, I will release it, along with the cover.

Now for the big question - the release date? Well... it won't be in 2011! Ha! But since my life as a writer will be full time for a while, I can devote myself to working with my editor to make certain the sequel is what you deserve. Once we begin the process, I think we should be able to provide a more concrete date - I will let you know in a couple of weeks!

For other news... I am in the process of submitting RtB to be printed as a Paperback! Something tangible you can hold in your hands and breathe in the pages! I've had a few ask about autograph copies - I will leave a post on my web site when they are available and you may purchase them from the site.

I think this occasion deserves a song!

Soundtrack Song #7 should make you feel good!

"Swing Life Away" ~ Rise Against

I LOVE Rise Against, and you will always see them on my soundtracks (sometimes even twice).

The sequel has some very sweet (and life altering EPIC) moments...
