Today is the day! 🌿 SISTERS OF SWORD & SONG is out in the wild, and even though this is my third published book, it feels a bit surreal to reach this moment. I thought I’d celebrate by sharing some fun behind-the-scenes facts about SISTERS:

This book was inspired by two different story ideas I had: one was a mage & scribe story, the other was a sister story. Both completely different from each other, and both haunted me for years. I tried to write each one on their own, but the ideas continued to fizzle out, and I didn’t know why. Until I brought these two ideas together and they finally caught fire, and suddenly I had a compelling story on my hands! 🔥

I drafted this book in just under 2 months. I knew where I was beginning, and I knew where I wanted it to end, but I had to discover everything in-between as I drafted! 🏔

The original title was SING UNTO DUST. I have a very hard time titling my books, and my agent suggested I think of a new one, because this working title didn’t provide much insight into what the story was about. I know some readers are tired of the BLANK of BLANK & BLANK title formula, but I feel like it’s a great way of informing readers. It gives a hint of the fantasy they are about to embark on and what they can expect to encounter. ⚔️

I listened to music as I wrote and revised this book! You can find the entire playlist on my Spotify (beccajross). 🎶

Places where I worked on this book: at my desk, at the dining room table, on the couch, on the porch, on a plane, in the Smoky Mountains. ✍🏻

Thank you all so much for your support and excitement! I hope you enjoy this little book of mine. 🥰 (at Georgia)
