Happy Friday, everyone!

We made it through another week of quarantine and the weekend is here! Whoo!

Ahem, now that the celebration is over with, onto today’s post.

This week has been rather busy for me. I’ve been working hard on getting A Stream of Darkness published, which includes sending it off to an editor, betas, a proofreader, and formatter to name a few things that I have to do. There’s a lot of behind the scenes work that goes into getting a book publish—more than you realize and things I’m still learning. I’ve found an editor and proofreader through the wonderful Hot Tree Editing, who has also a line of betas that can read through my book as well. I’m extremely thankful towards them since I’ve been asking a lot of questions and probably drove them insane a little, but they’ve been really patient with me and my momager. We also booked a formatter yesterday thanks to my mom’s hard work and research. She’s awesome and I can’t thank her enough for helping me manage all of this.

Since my manuscript isn’t due to the editor until May 25th, I’ve been working on book two of the Crymsen Crescent series and my poetry collection that I’m determined to publish by the end of June. I still need a formatter and book cover for my poetry collection, but I have high hopes that I can get this all settled within the month of May. Maybe I’m being optimistic, but I can’t help it.

On to some good and awesome news!

So, if you haven’t noticed already, there’s an Event bar on the main menu now. If you click on that, you’ll see A Stream of Darkness Countdown. What’s the countdown for? For the Book Cover Reveal because guess who got a book cover for her debut novel? This chick! I’m super excited and I really want to show y’all, but for marketing reasons, I need to keep it a secret for now so y’all will just have to wait and see!

The countdown gives you an exact day, hour, minute, and second until the book cover reveal on July 9th, so mark your calendars and sign up for my monthly newsletter set to send out next month! With the newsletter, you can learn more information on releases, cover reveals, giveaways, and more!
