Title for Book 2...

I finally started saving my "Book 2" file on my laptop as the working title for the follow-on to "Schism." Somehow it makes me feel like I'm making extra progress, which in a way is true...coming up with a title is very tricky, at least for me.

So...the working title now is "Ravin." Yes, that's a real word. An old and little-used word, but a Webster word nonetheless...look it up!

I like using old words from decades to centuries ago. Maybe it's my way of rebelling against the "short cuts" rampant in the English language of late (i.e., "lol," "omg," "totes,") Alas, I'm guilty of doing this, so maybe my love of old words is my penance.

Happy Reading!

Reviews and more

Hey fellow readers and writers!

I've gotten quite a few reviews for my work in the past month, and I just wanted to thank everyone for their input. It means so much!

Also, I'll be posting the first two chapters of my next book here on Goodreads and my website (www.brittholewinski.com) later this month...my mom is reading it now to check for typos!! Oh, the things we self-published folks have stoop to!

Thanks again!

Britt

World-building post

I get quite a few questions about how realistic I think my world-building scenario is in "Schism" and world-building in dystopian fiction in general. Those of your interested in my thoughts on this subject, check out this guest post I wrote this week:

A big thanks to Laura for hosting my guest post and reviewing my book. So appreciated!

Happy Reading,

Britt
