Hello everyone!

Someone sent me an email the other day asking me if I'd died, which made me realize that this update was long overdue. I'm happy to announce that book 2, Beloved Purgatory, is on its way. It is finished. I've edited it and partially proofread it. All that I'm waiting for now are comments from my final proofreaders. Once they arrive, I will make changes (all those "guardian angles" need to be "guardian angels") and publish the book ASAP. I'm really excited to share this book with all of you. So far, my beta readers have all ended up liking it more than After Eden, and I hope you guys like it too.

I am also sorry that it has taken longer than I expected, and I want to make it up to all of you. That is why I'm going to offer Beloved Purgatory for $0.99 for a short period of time (the regular price will be a few dollars more). I haven't decided how long the sale will last yet, but it should be long enough for everyone who has been waiting for it to pick it up before I change the price. Also, the day the book goes on sale I will announce it on my blog/twitter/facebook, and send an email out to my mailing list.

This Thanksgiving, I had a lot to be thankful for. When I first published After Eden, I didn't know if anyone was going to read it or like it. Since I was publishing it on my own, I wasn't even sure people would be able to find it! But somehow all of you did. Writing a story and sharing it with others has been a dream of mine since I was a child. That dream has come true, and it is all thanks to you.

Thank you for taking a chance on a new author, visiting my website, "friending" me on twitter and facebook, leaving comments on my blog, recommending my book to others, loaning it to friends, and leaving reviews on Amazon, Goodreads and Barnes & Noble. Your kind words and support mean so much to me, and I was thankful for all of it this Thanksgiving.

Finally, here is the cover for Beloved Purgatory. It may change a little before next week, but probably not by much. Oh, and it won't be as blurry as it is right now, either. WordPress loves to blur my covers!
