Anticipation

So, next week my book, "Schism," will be (drumroll...!!!) released onto the world!!! March 15th!

It has been quite an experience republishing "the Fractured Road" into "Schism." I spent many hours editing and re-editing the book during the most inconvenient times in my life over the course of the last two years--the first re-edit while working a horrid shift schedule at CIA headquarters the Summer of 2014, and the second while serving in Afghanistan this past summer, 2015. But the book is better because of it, and I would do it again because I write not for me, but for the reader who takes a chance on my book.

I am so excited that this book, "Schism," is finally ready for the world, and want to thank all my friends, family, and my publicist, Ally Khristova, for all their support.

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
