Big news this week! I’ve started writing the sequel for the Conjurer’s Curse! YAY! I know my beta readers are jumping for joy right now! As of today I am over 6,000 words in, and have been blocking in scenes for the first six chapters so far. I also added more than 4,000 words to The Heartsmith manuscript. It is currently over 38,000 words.

Now that I have two YA books going on at once, it’s going to likely be a daily competition for what story gets my attention. So far this past week, I was able to be consistent with both, and I hope to carry the same level of passion for each. Both stories are so starkly different and unique, taking place in entirely different worlds: one high fantasy, the other steampunk with technology–which has been a blast for me to explore!
