Mea culpa! I’ve been really delinquent with my blog updates, and am just now getting back into the swing of things.
2020, as we all know too well, exploded on our lives and seemingly turned everything on its head. The phrase “new normal” was bandied about so frequently that it actually turned trite. We zoomed our way through work, school, Zumba classes, and more. “Your mic is off,” became as commonplace a greeting as “how are you,” and toilet paper turned out to be the most coveted of commodities.
These very minor inconveniences aside, many of us faced real scares and real losses, making the past year an honest-to-goodness nightmare for millions of people all over the globe. I can only hope that the new year brings with it a promise for a safer and more secure future for us all.
As for me, despite 2020’s obvious struggles, it brought me something quite priceless, something I’ve aspired for and dreamed of my entire life: My debut novel, Clover, was published in December and my heart is literally fit to burst.
Since then, I’ve received tremendous support from readers and other authors, and despite the whole world being pretty much on lockdown, Clover made its way to people’s homes, reading devices, and in many cases, their hearts. I don’t think a greater joy exists for a first-time author than being able to bring smiles to reader’s faces. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: Positive reviews are pixie dust for a writer’s soul. I’m so thankful to have been able to go on this amazing journey, which is why I’m beyond thrilled to announce the next step in this extraordinary adventure. FAE’S ASCENT, the sequel to Clover, will be published in the Fall of 2021 by Fire & Ice Young Adult Books!
(Steps away from the computer and does a wild jig)
I am so excited about my upcoming release and also very psyched about some things I’ve got brewing for Clover. For the month of February, I’m going on a virtual book tour organized by “Bewitching Book Tours” and will also be doing an Instagram tour organized by “Storygram Tours.”
I’ll be updating you on anything else I’ve got planned as I’ve now made a fervent promise to blog more frequently to share the ins and outs of this amazing ride, for which I’m so grateful.
