I'm back home, talking about how a disruption in my beloved (and, okay, a bit rigid) schedule made release day even better. Also on being back home, getting back in the flow of writing - and how to release anxiety about not writing.

I'm celebrating the release of THE PROMISED QUEEN! I'm also at the Inn of the Mountain Gods, so a bit scattered. Telling you all why I subtweeted about Zoom instructions, high def makeup, and paying authors.

I crashed on wordcount yesterday - so it goes - but I also had good conversations with excellent writer friends. Also a bit on the growing segregation of the reading audience, 21 Bridges, and Murderbot.

About choosing a "publishing company" name for your self-published work (or not), titanium jewelry in the 80s, my new secret project and how I'm going about trying to add to what I'm doing without overloading.

A Peek Ahead at Release Week for THE PROMISED QUEEN!

THE PROMISED QUEEN comes out in one week!

        

I had a super fun conversation with the gals at Paper and Vices. You can listen to our wide-ranging discussion of The Forgotten Empires and Bonds of Magic, the possible exhausting complications of Reverse Harem romances, genres, and traditional vs. self-publishing. Listen here. 

On release day, Jennifer Estep and I will be hosted by The Ripped Bodice for a free, online discussion of all things romantic and fantastic (in the best sense of the word). Register here.
