So, I actually was trying to take a short vacation from writing or editing. Born a Queen is at the editor, and I hired a proof-listener to go through Halls of Power to find errors, as I found that I really don’t enjoy going over the manuscript at the same time as the text. I figured that […]
Last night I sent Born a Queen off to the editor, so it’s away! I’m not sure how quickly it’ll get back to me, but unlike prior books, I’m not going to move up the release date a ton. Anticipate that it’ll be out around October 21st, and you’ll be pretty close to right. And I’ll […]
So, I mentioned that I started on the second round of edits to Born a Queen. I’m currently a little less than halfway through the story, reading it aloud to spot more errors.

So, several things to update people on, most of it random. First off, the re-write of Born a Queen is going well. Apparently I needed the potential panic of not being able to use the same editor to light a fire under my arse. I expect to finish this week, at the rate I’m going, at […]
So, Born a Queen is coming along well in editing. I’m halfway through it, and trying to accelerate things. This is at least partially prompted by news that if I don’t get it done quickly enough, I may not be able to use my usual editor, which is going to make things… interesting on my end. […]
