edit data

Tess has been a fan of historical fiction since learning the Greek and Roman myths at her mother's knee. Now let loose on a computer, she's spinning her own tales of romance and passion in a slightly more modern setting. Tess lives on the east coast, with her partner of fifteen years and two cats who should have been named 'Writer's Block' and 'Get Off the Keyboard, Dammit.'

I enjoyed your fan fic story, The Colors Beneath My Skin. Is it true it's being reworked into a book published by an actual publisher? If so, when might it come out? I'm looking forward to reading it :)

I pitched the story to my editor at Samhain and she liked the idea of a contemporary series, so we're in the process now.

The first book in the 'Evolution Ink' series is called High Contrast, is an original New Adult M/M romance based on TCBHS, and will be released on May 3, 2016. The second in the series, 'New School,' is currently scheduled for spring 2017.
