This has been a long time coming, babes.
Skip to ‘The Skinny’ at the bottom if you want the cliff notes version of what became a hella long-ass post.
First, I want to thank each and every one of you for being so incredibly patient with me these past months while I struggled to reconnect with the characters from Soulless Saint.
I just came out of some of the worst seasonal depression I’ve experienced in my life (seriously, can I just LIVE in the tropics every winter? That’s a thing people do, right?) but our quick family trip to Jamaica at the end of March really brought me back.
And I mean BACK. Full stop. I’ve been writing like a madwoman. Becca, Hardin, Kaleb, and mayyyybe Aodhan are talking to me again. It’s more like shouting, really, but I am so so grateful. There were a few bleak moments where I wasn’t sure if I could push myself to finish their story, but here we are, a boatload of words later, with the end in sight.
I didn’t want to say anything until I passed the halfway mark and that just happened! Right now I’m writing at a pace of a minimum of 1 chapter per weekday (but pushing for 2) and am currently at chapter 17 out of an anticipated 30. I’ll let you do the math on that one, but basically, unless s**t hits the fan ***knocks on all the effing wood*** I should be finished at the beginning of May!
Of course, there will have to be time allotted for my alpha readers to have a go at it, and then my editor, and then advance reviewers, but we are SO CLOSE, you guys!
Because I know yall will ask…I’m not going to give a release date yet and I will not be putting up a pre-order until I’ve typed ‘the end’. But as soon as those magical words pass through my keyboard, you will be the first to know
