Launch date!
Hello Everyone,
The official launch date is set. It's next Tuesday, actually! (San Francisco time, because that's where the publisher is based.)
It's a better version of The Snow King, with new chapters (and I've just realized I've introduced a new character, too)! Hope you'll enjoy. I'll post links whenever it goes live.
Meanwhile, you can check out the Tapas app and website, because that's where you'll find it ;)
I'm keeping it on the Amazon Kindle Marketplace and will make The Snow King available on Smashwords, so you can have your pick, whichever format suits you better! But I urge you to try out Tapas, it's a goldmine story-wise and community-wise. Especially if you like comics, too!

Second edition is coming!
Hello Everyone,
The Snow King has been undergoing a second edit. I've been meaning to do it for a while, but it wasn't my priority. Now that I have a contract (!) it gave me enough motivation (and a deadline) to make these changes and give you a better and longer book!
There will be extra scenes and chapters, and I do think this will make the whole reading experience better :) If you've already purchased The Snow King, fear not, as soon as I upload the new version, you should be able to access it via your kindle or kindle app. If you were not sure whether you want to read it or not, here's your chance ;)
I will make it available on other platforms soon, but first I'd like to wait until all chapters are available on the online platform of my publisher. I'm very excited to be working with such an awesome team!

Oops, I did it again!
It's that time of the year again, the National Novel Writing Month.
I've just reached 50k on a novel I have started on 1st November. I aim for 75k this year, nonetheless, 50k is a huge milestone, as it means I won again! Yay!
Why 75k? I needed a different kind of challenge and I wanted to actually, you know, finish the story itself. Because even though I reach 50k, it's only the first 50 000 words of the novel and I find it a bit hard to finish my manuscripts. So this time, I am doing 75k, which should allow me to finish my novel during NaNoWriMo.
75k in a month. An ENTIRE novel in a month! I feel crazy every time November rolls around, but I enjoy every minute of it!
Are you doing NaNoWriMo? If so, what is your novel about?

Going home for the holidays
I've always spent the holiday with my family and now that I live on the other side of the continent, I will make this 1500 kilometre-journey home. Then come back.
Funny thing, when your heart wants to split into two, but when it comes to Christmas, there's no question where I want to be :)
Fear not, I shall bombard you with blog posts later. At least, that's the plan. If all else fails, then let me wish you Happy Holidays now!

Holiday reads!
*fanfare*
I am very happy to share a wonderful piece of news with you: I have published my first book!
The Snow King is available now on amazon kindle. I'm so excited! It's a winter fairy tale, perfect for the holiday season!
This is completely new for me (publishing a book, that is), and I feel like an elephant in a china shop when I try to tell the world that 'Hi! I've got a book you might be interested in!', but I try my best not to break the china into a million pieces. Please bear with me.

Anyway, what are YOU reading? Do you have favourites for the holiday season? Some recommendations for me? :)
