With the holidays upon us and the end of 2014 looming, I think about how incredible it feels to have published my first book. From my first experience with an editor (somewhat painful, but necessary and worthwhile) to a successful book-signing event at a bookstore in Salem, MA-the same city of my book's setting, I've loved every minute. Best of all, I've received such support and enthusiasm from readers, in addition to some well-meaning threats (I think!) to finish the sequel to The Timeless Ones.

To that end, I have made much progress and am expecting to have the first draft completed by the end of the year. Yes, I do realize that's in 17 days (cringe). With some hard work and a bit of luck, I plan to release the next book (yet to be named) in spring 2015.

In the meantime, I continue to look forward to reader feedback and reviews. I'm not just saying that-it means more than you can imagine.

Happy Holidays to All!
