It’s been a heck of a year so far and it’s only half through!I just turned 38 this week. I haven’t posted an update in a while, so to catchyou up, I signed on about a year ago with the esteemed D4EO agency and with BobDiforio as my agent. He’s been guiding me along and I’m trying to be a goodnewbie and soak up all the knowledge I can. And not bug him too much. But asmuch as I write, I know I’m high maintenance!

We got some great feedback on my YA Welsh Witch fantasy thatwent out on sub around Thanksgiving, so I took that feedback and ran with it.So several edits later we’re pretty darn close to going back out on sub.

In the meantime, I’m getting eyes on my newest magicalrealism. I think it has a lot of potential. It’s got the feels! So far the feedbackon it has been phenomenal. I’m really jazzed about Loud Voices and hopefully wecan get it out on sub sometime soon depending on what work my agents thinks it needs or doesn't. Fingers crossed.

I’ve been poking at my prequel, Catalyst, to my Deliverance series. I have about 1/5 of its rough draft written. I know my fans are waitingfor it, so I’m trying not to put it off.

I’ve done several signing events, including at my favoritelocal bookstores, New and Olde Pages and Mulberry Street Books. More to come onmore signing events.

And finally, my author friend, Merlin Love, and I have thiscrazy scheme to open a writer’s retreat in Ireland so more to come on thatcrazy collab adventure. We plan on documenting and filming our adventures so it’sgoing to be hella fun. More details to come.

Love to you all,

Dr. Sammy
