The rough draft of the sequel is finished! I'm currently working on revisions and edits with one of my crit partners. I would love to have it released by this time next year, but I'm in the process of moving, so working on the book has been slow going. I'm determined to release it by winter 2017 at the very latest!(less)

How did you decide to 'go for it' and write this book? What has kept you going through the tough stages and how did you decide how to publish?

I wanted to write about something different, and a succubus was something I hadn't encountered in YA literature. Plus, a teenager with raging hormones who couldn't even a kiss a boy without harming him?? I knew I could have a lot of fun writing a story about that.

What kept me going through the tough stages was pure determination. I knew I had a good story on my hands, and I knew it was one that would appeal to teenagers.

I original tried my hand at traditional publishing. After going through months and months of query hell, I landed an agent, and he then submitted my manuscript to about a dozen of the larger publishers. However, this was during the anti all-things-paranormal phase in publishing, and most of them just weren't looking for anything in that genre. Eventually, my agent was ready to shelve my manuscript, but I wasn't. So, we amicably parted ways, and I began to submit it to small presses. In December of 2013, Red Adept Publishing offered me a publishing contract, and the rest is history!(less)

Angela and 1123 other people liked Karen's review of The Covenant of Water:
The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese
"Well… I’m not really finished with this book. I got to 40% and i am wiped out.
I’m done.. no enthusiasm to pick this up anymore, and I am so disappointed because when I saw that this author had a new book, I was very excited. I’m a huge fan of Cutting" Read more of this review »

Angela is reading The Covenant of Water: DNF so I won't rate it. It just wasn't my cup of tea. I felt like the story dragged. I listened to the audio book, and after 10 hours into it (and still 23 to go 😳), I still wasn't "hooked." I couldn't take it anymore (there are too many books out there). It has good ratings, so I'm sure this is a "it's me, not you" type situation. 🤷‍♀️
