November, November

Good news!
I'm still alive!

I've been entrenched in writing this third book for you guys. I'm not even kidding, my head is buried so deep in the WotP world that I sometimes wander back to my laptop mid-action and even mid-conversation.  I'm just waiting for my husband to squirt me with a water bottle like a misbehaving cat. Or dog. Our dog hates that too.

This is what I look like when I'm interrupted while writing. Yeah. A lion cub. Playing in leaves. Vicious.

Book 3 Updates

I'm more than half way through writing WotP book three, and I'm flying toward my target completion date on schedule. I think a lot of you guys will be happy to hear that book three is likely to be longer than the other two. I do have a title for it, but I kind of enjoy keeping it a secret until the cover art is ready. Suspense! Another important update is that I'm tentatively expecting a first-quarter release for 2014. The sooner I can get it out, the happier I'll be, but I can't control how long the editing phase will take, so we'll see. Once I do hit editing, I'll let you guys know, and maybe even post a few teaser blurbs from the book.

The Silver Screen

It's truly a pleasure talking to many of you through fan mail, Facebook and Twitter. I've noticed a common thread in a lot of the feedback I get. Many people have said they would love to see Haven and the War of the Princes series hit the big screen. I want all of you to know that I'm with you. I would absolutely love for these books to be movies. I'll do everything I can to make that a possibility, if the opportunity arises. Of course, the more noise you guys make about this series, the closer we come to making that dream a reality. If enough people review, refer, talk, shout, sketch, post and repost about this series, we'll only get stronger and farther. Books don't always do well as films, but oh man, can you imagine seeing a warhorse rip from the shadows or Kat facing the Commanders?


All yours,
