I originally planned to release Nocturne sometime in 2017, but after a very full year with little time or energy, I have to concede it just isn’t going to happen.

Rest assured, though, this series is very dear to me and I’m still going to finish it. Nocturne is, and has been for a while, mostly complete. If I wanted, I could probably cobble something together to hit my deadline of December 31st, but it wouldn’t be very high quality. I’d rather not insult my readers or the integrity of my series with shoddy work.

So what has kept me so busy the past couple years?

A pregnancy that led to a new baby, a very full time job (because, unfortunately, writing doesn’t pay the bills), and general stress/exhaustion. For my own sanity, I needed to put my writing aside.

The good news, however, is that I’m ready to get back to my desk and buckle down. My child is finally old enough to (somewhat) play by herself, and my soul is feeling a bit lost without my daily writing. I’m excited to get a chance to work on it again and visit with my lovely characters.

I won’t promise anything, but hopefully I’ll see you in 2018 for the final book in the Rhapsody Quartet, and maybe a little extra special something, too.
