Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. It's been a rather spastic and upsetting household over here. As I am working and writing AND getting back into college now I am still living with my family for the moment. And when I say "for the moment" I mean it may only be a few moments more. My parents are finally splitting which means the separation of my entire family. You'd think at my age with everything going on in my life it wouldn't be such a big deal, but I grew up completely submerged in family, and this split has affected everyone.

Needless to say I am emotionally exhausted from the past few months. I know you are all waiting on sequels to A Taste of Silver and I've had tons of questions about the sequel to Markings but I am writing to say that I will probably be putting those two things on hold for a short while due to all the stress my family is going through. I'm not saying I won't write at all in the next few months--I'm just saying it is not going to be my top priority. It's time to pull my head out of the books (literally) and start focusing on my future. I'm going to be taking a fairly heavy college load next term in hopes of getting a better job here soon.

In other news, I am giving myself further anxiety attacks as the first 6 weeks of my 8 week book proposal with a well-known New York literary agency is up. I will know within the next 2 weeks if said agent has accepted me... This one's a big deal for some reason. Probably because she sounded like she really loved my sci-fi novel and I spent 9 months doing a re-write from her gracious comments. Praying, crossing fingers and limbs that she says yes. She sounds like an amazing agent to work with.

Anyway, off to class before I'm late. Will update soon.

Xoxo,

S.B. <3
