ONCE BITTEN is now available!!

I have big news today (and if you read the title to this post, you probably already know what it is.)

My editor wrote me a couple days ago to let me know I'd probably see Once Bitten listed at online stores by the end of the week. I have been extremely nervous since then, and of course, checking the major sites a couple times a day. Well, this morning I discovered both Barnes & Noble and Amazon have Once Bitten up and listed for sale!

This news makes me both extremely happy and even more nervous. Now it's out there. People can read it. I can make a rough estimate of everyone who read it before today--it's a relatively small pool of people, and while I don't know all of them, I have some idea who they are. Now the book is out there and has to sink or swim on its own. I hope people love it, but I'm realistic enough know not everyone will.

Is there a word to describe feeling both terrified and ecstatic? I wonder if every book release will feel this way?

Okay. Time for me to stop blathering away and get back to editing my WIP.

So exciting!!!

I think the word you're looking for is terristatic! (or maybe it's just "eep!")

Is it available in stores yet, or only online?

Anyway, CONGRATULATIONS!

Woohoooooooooo!

My copy is sitting in my shopping cart, waiting for me to find another $10 so I can get that free shipping. ;-)

And no matter how many books you publish, nothing feels more exhilarating than to see yours sticking out on the shelf.

What's Next?

A lot of people are writing to ask if Grave Destiny is the final book in the series. I'm very happy to report that no, this is not the end! Ace has contracted one final Alex Craft novel so that I can finish up the story. I'm currently writing the first draft, and while it has a tentative title, I'm not free to share it quite yet. I'll be turning in the 7th Alex Craft novel this September, so I anticipate it will be released late 2020 or early 2021 but will update you when I have more information. So, for those of you worried that this might be the end, worry not. There is more. I hope you are enjoying Grave Destiny!
