Here in Michigan, our nights are getting cooler but our days are still quite hot. I’d say “unseasonably” hot but Michigan is known for having reasonable averages created out of crazy data points. Still, even for Michigan, this September has been unusual. I’m beginning to wonder if I’ve started hallucinating about moving back to Florida. But no, because the nights ARE cool and the breezes are refreshing and the humidity is…. Well, it’s enough to frizz my hair but not enough to feel like I’m walking through soup. It’s actually been quite lovely. (I prefer warm weather. I just also happen to love Michigan.)
But enough about the weather, what’s up with my books???
The audiobook version of Stranger to the Sea is officially available from this website. You can buy it here. (Yea!!!! I’m really excited! That was a lot of fun, a big learning curve, and a LOT of work.)
Whatever happened to Crossing the Reef, you ask? Well, not much, unfortunately. The drafts are done, have been for almost a year, though I’ve gone back and made additional tweaks occasionally that I think have continued to improve it. It took me a loooong time to give up on my original editor. I really had liked working with her, but for reasons beyond her control she just hasn’t been able to finish this one. Then I got busy finishing up grad school. Now I’m saving up to hire a new editor and buy the cover art. As soon as I can get those things accomplished, I promise I’ll get it out to you. Hopefully, it won’t be much longer.
As for Book Three, Enter the Afterlight, it’s been giving me fits, I’ll admit, but I like the way it’s matured. By the time I get it out to you, I think it will definitely be worth the wait.
In the meantime, check out my romantasy duology, Stronger Than Spells. Talk a walk in the sunshine. Enjoy the fall colors. I hope to have more news for you soon!
