I feel like I’m losing what’s left of my mind every time I open a newspaper, but I did get the first two Acts of my revised book off to my agent, so that’s something.

DAUGHTER OF WINTER AND TWILIGHT is one year old today. 💙 Thank you to everyone who’s supported and bought my books over the years. It means so much. I’m in that limbo period of writing and revising while out of contract, but more to come, hopefully!
