Heyla!

Happy book release, friends! As you probably already know, Children of the Stars released yesterday and is currently available for download. I'm SUPER excited to bring my own brand of hero book to your shelves. It's  a long one so plan for a couple days if you give it a go. But look at this cover by Ann McMan, isn't it gorgeous?


New
Oh, and HEY, check out my brand new author spotlight, the Author Astronaut of the Month. Starting this month, my newsletter will include a brand new component at the bottom. I will add an author spotlight, featuring one of my fellow authors. (in my own unique style) The inaugural debut was gifted to K.D. Williams who gave me the phenomenal idea. Thanks, KD!

Awards
If you remember, I entered multiple books from the 2019 publishing season across 4 different awards. (Lambda Literary, Golden Crown Literary Society, Rainbow Awards, and Lesfic Bard Awards) My goal this year was to win 2 awards for any of my books. The only award with results to day was the Rainbow Awards, which I got a 3rd runner up in the sci-fi category. Still crossing my fingers, let's hope for a win or two elsewhere. 

As usual, keep watching for my promotional work over the next few months on the following sites.

• Golden Crown Literary Society - What winning a Goldie means to me (on the banner at the bottom)
• GCLS Book Club will feature Children of the Stars as the March read. You can see what's coming by joining the GCLS Members-only Book Club Facebook page. Note: you must be a GCLS member to join in.
• LezReviewBooks.com - Read about my Dessert Island Book choices.
• Jae Author - I've sent 3 books to be used in Jae's new The F/F Fiction Crossword Challenge coming in 2020

Publishing Updates:
 

• Children of the Stars is available for purchase
• My editor has Remember Me, Synthetica in her hot little hands and I'm expecting the 1st pass back soon. This novel is scheduled to release mid year. (June/July)
• No covers yet for Remember Me, Synthetica and The Lost Temple of Psiere, but I'm hoping to see something from my publisher maybe sometime this month.
• Don't forget, all my short stories, as well as my short and long fan fiction can be found FREE on AO3.

Writing Updates
 

• Remember Me, Synthetica and The Lost Temple of Psiere are complete and awaiting the loving gaze of an editor.
• NEW STORY ALERT!! Sadly, my fickle muse decided they didn't WANT to write about any of the 4 cool books I conceived of last year. My mind started thinking about contemporary romance, and how I don't read it much with the exception of a few tropes, and I certainly can't WRITE it on the regular. That made me think about my favorite tropes but in a speculative fiction setting...so Myth World was born. My own fantasy world where I can write standalone "contemporary trope" fantasy novels. So yeah, I'm currently 21,000 words into a funny, fantasy, fauxmance between a half-elven swordswoman with a snarky elven steed, and a dragon shapeshifter. Good times. The Myth World map is at the bottom, because...of COURSE I have a map. But I don't yet have a name for the fauxmance I'm working on. <grin>
