It was a great birthday

Thanks everyone who sent me birthday wishes! I was traveling day of, but they made the day after feel like a second birthday. I had an absolutely wonderful birthday. Writers tend to be the biggest fans, and I was in total fan girl mode on Tuesday.

As well as being my birthday, Tuesday was the release day for Black Magic Sanction by Kim Harrison. I am a huge fan of the Hollows series, so I decided to spend a chunk of my birthday at Kim's release party. I had a great time, snagged a personalized copy of Kim's new book, got my picture with Kim, and even ended up on her website. Then I went home and devoured the book. It was great.

This year is going to be a big one, and there is a lot to do, so I better get back to it. Have a great weekend everyone!

The Revision Game, Part one--2nd drafts: The Big Picture

Last month Cher asked me to go into more specifics about how I revise novels. I didn't get a chance to post on the topic during the NaNo challenge, so I thought I'd delve into it now. In parts. Yes, I'm breaking it down that much. Those of you who won NaNo last month are hopefully still racing toward those magical words "The End" (or maybe some of you have hit them already). But what do you do after you reach those words? Personally, I close the file. Then I don't open it again for at least two weeks (if at all possible). During that down time I work on other projects, write a short story, talk to my neglected husband, read as many books as I can without my eyes rolling out of my head, whatever--the point is to let the dust settle on the story I just finished. (**Note: I highly recommend still writing something while letting a first draft sit. It takes about 3 weeks to form a habit, so if you slip out of the habit of writing, you have to force yourself to

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!
