An Update from the Edge of Infinity
Hello again, friends, readers, and fellow dreamers. First off, thank you. The additional responses and feedback to the Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of The Root of Infinity: Conjunction Born have been more than I could have hoped. Your thoughtful messages, glowing review, and impassioned reactions have not only affirmed my belief in this story—they’ve reinvigorated me as a writer. You’ve seen the heart of this book, and that means the world to me.
Querying and receiving rejections is a humbling experience. It reminds me of my performing arts days and the disappointment that came from multiple auditions. Yet, when I landed those gigs and ended up on stage or in film… well, those made it all worthwhile. I’m constantly reminding myself that pursuing a traditional publishing deal is a longer road, with less than 2% of authors going on to land a publishing deal. There are countless examples of successful authors who, through perseverance and multiple querying (and dozens of rejections), eventually landed a contract. The support of an agent and publishing house would bring this story to a broader audience. I want Conjunction Born—and the whole series—to have the reach and staying power it deserves.
In the meantime, I haven’t been idle. The second book in the series, The Root of Infinity: The Boundless, is almost finished. Once it’s done and edited, I’ll be relaunching my search for an agent—this time with not just one, but two books from the series in hand. Hopefully, this will put me in a stronger position, showing not just promise, but proof that I’m building something expansive, layered, and with emotionally deep, complex characters, and will demonstrate that I’m in this for the long haul. I want to do this right, not just fast.
In the meantime, if you haven’t yet read my first series, The Mage’s Cradle, I’d love for you to dive into that world. And if you’ve already read it, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could leave a rating and an honest written review—your words help others discover my work and make a real difference.
When the time comes, when I finally get to announce the book deal or share a release date, you’ll be the first to know. Until then, thank you, truly, for walking beside me on this journey through the infinite.
