Beta Updates
Sorry I haven't been posting regularly, I've been focused on getting The Raven and the Firebird ready for other eyeballs.
Which it is now in front of! I have officially sent the new book out for its first round ofjudgement feedback! Sending a book out to beta is probably the most harrowing part of the process for me. It has all of the 'what are people going to think of this?' that actually publishing it does PLUS the knowledge that I have to sit down and work on it again once I have the answer. Once it's published, it's published. Done. It's cathartic. Beta has at least 50% more dread involved.
But that's not why you're here. Updates!
Right now, The Raven and the Firebird is the shortest book in the series, but that doesn't make it any less intense or emotional. It's tighter and more plot-y than the last one, but with plenty of character moments and introspection that has become a hallmark of these books. As for a release date, I have one in mind, but I won't know for sure until I get all the beta feedback and have an idea how much work is actually left before it's ready for public consumption. Suffice it to say, early next year; i.e. SOON.
Oh, and the cover is done! I will reveal that over on the Twitters once I have a better handle on the release date. If you don't have a Twitter, that's fine, the cover looks like the other four, just with different details.
The only hint I can give to the story is that it starts slow, and then... hold on to your butts.
Thank you for your patience, it won't be long now.
