One more day until GRAVE WAR

 It's hard to believe that GRAVE WAR hits shelves tomorrow! I'm so excited to share this final chapter of Alex's story with you. I'm also extremely nervous as I'm anxious to hear what you think of how everything concludes.  It's been about a year since I first turned in this book, and yet I'm more anxious now than when I wrote "the end" and sent it off to my publisher. Then it was done, but not "done done." I knew it still had many more eyes that would look over it and I would see it again and still work on it. Over the months that followed there were revisions and edits. But now all of those have been done for over half a year. I haven't actually seen it in print yet (with covid and all, I haven't gotten any advance copies) so some of you may see the final project before I do! (Amazon says my copy will arrive on Thursday.) Now, this story is headed out into the world to your hands (or ereaders) and I can't wait for you to get a chance to read it. I'm also scared because I really hope you love it. It was quite a tumultuous journey at times, but thank you for being here for it until the end. (And also welcome to any just arriving and discovering Alex and her friends--don't start Grave War though. I'd say this series definitely needs to be read in order.) 

Thank you everyone. I hope you enjoy the book when it releases tomorrow!

I’m looking forward to this but I’m also sad the series is ending. I have the collection on audio, and the book is not available today on Audible. I’m not sure what the issue is but I’ll keep checking back.

Having just finished Grave War, I'm naturally still in tears, equal parts of happy with the way Alex's story ended and incredibly sad that it's over. I will miss this series a very great deal, but I look forward to more from you. Thank you for so many years of great storytelling.

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!
