2017: Year in Review

If 2016 was the year when my writing career really began, then 2017 was the year I leveled up.

I brought the Natural Order series to an end in July, secured two BookBub promotions that rocketed the series onto the bestseller charts, and published the first epic fantasy in the world that will be the basis of the rest of my career.

R.J.’s Quotes

“There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.”
― Terry Pratchett

“It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.”
― Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

“There's nothing wrong with reading a book you love over and over. When you do, the words get inside you, become a part of you, in a way that words in a book you've read only once can't.”
― Gail Carson Levine, Writing Magic: Creating Stories that Fly
