Things have been a little quiet around here, but for good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m about halfway through a novel edit<\/strong> that I want to submit to a publisher this month. I’m also 13 chapters into writing a second book<\/strong>. So, not much time for blogging.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Edit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been working on the Reaper book<\/strong> for years! I don’t suggest this method \ud83d\ude42 I always pushed it to the back burner when I got busy on other things, which means taking time to get reacquainted with the world every time I pick it up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thankfully, I’ve been working away at it over the last few months, and now the end looks much closer<\/strong> than it ever has. The great thing is I still love this book! And I want you to read it!!! I’ll keep you updated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WIP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’m 7 or 8 chapters from the end<\/strong> of this book! In the last 3 chapters, things really intensified for my main character. And they are only going to get worse<\/strong>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m trying not to get too far ahead of myself thinking about the edits I want to make in revision. Luckily, there is plenty of action coming up to keep me busy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
