Hi Maryann. Apologies for the slow response! The reissue of The Beast Without, with cover art by Jeanine Henning, is a new edition that has been added to the existing listing for the book. If you wish, I believe you can switch any review you've written to the new edition, but it won't be a separate listing.

Read, but read everything. Good books,. Bad books. Genre claptrap, Fine literature. Read widely in and outside your genre, and don't be afraid to mess with genre 'rules' to find your own voice. Then just keep writing and accept that while not everything you write will be good or publishable, it will be worth your time.

Hi Sara. Why, thank you, and yes there will. The final scene in Orchard will probably give you a good sense of what it's about. All the best.

Write trash. Accept that it's trash and that that's okay. Then you've at least got something down to fix or scrap later.
