Musings

A lot of people have asked why I participate in so many giveaways. The answer is they rock! They've helped to generate buzz and reviews for the House of Transformation (which I really needed). Plus, it means my book is out there in more people's hands. My ideas are dancing in people's heads! I wish I could give it away to everyone. If you know anyone who might enjoy it, feel free to share the link. It's also to celebrate coming up on one great year of publication.

Thanks for your patience as I work on my next book, Belle Damned. Learning to write fantasy has been thrilling. The freedom of magic and mystery is so liberating compared to general fiction. But it has also been an educational experience as I learn about world building, magic systems, and the art of making magic feel magical to the reader. It's a whole other layer, and it's fascinating and complex -- just the kind of thing I like to wrap my brain around.

I hope you're well, and that this Halloween will be the best one yet. I don't know what you're going as for Halloween, but I'm going as my future heroine, Belle. Read the first chapter here.
