Hope y’all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now that
it’s finally December, those of us who began listening to Christmas music in
secret last month can finally emerge from our caves and rejoin
humanity.
Just in time for the holidays!
Posting on my blog will continue to be a bit
sporadic until the end of the year, but for those of you who’ve read
Orphan’s Song, I do have a good excuse. The best actually. I’m neck
deep in finishing book two so y’all can find out what happens next!
There’s only so many writing hours in the day, and
the book obviously takes precedence, so the blog may be a tad slow for the next
few weeks.
But I have started planning out my blogging
schedule for next year—yes, I know, I’m majorly ahead of the game. I’m just
that good. And though I don’t want to give too much away, I can tell
you to expect quite the exciting year with tons of giveaways (free books, who
can resist that?), Destiny’s return, and visits to the Academy of Ultimate Villainy and the Warrior-in-Hero-Training School of the Round Table.
Lots to look forward to, right?
In the meantime, feast your eyes on this promo
video I filmed for Orphan’s Song and consider sharing it with your
friends. Hollywood worthy acting job right there. Another career option to consider or do you think I should stick to writing books? :)
And don’t forget to take a picture with your copy

I am looking forward to being with my extended family – and a break from school :)

Breaks are so nice! Definitely something to look forward to. :)
I'm already looking forward to next year's blogging- I'm sure it and book 2 will be well worth the wait. (Even if I STILL need to read book 1 . . . fingers crossed that it'll be under the Christmas tree this year!) I'm looking forward to . . . well, a lot of stuff. Cookies, giving and receiving gifts, spending time with family, the Christmas Eve candlelight service at my church, a break from school . . .
I'm really looking forward to it too! If I had the time, I would start it all right now because it is going to be that much fun. But I kinda do need to meet a deadline.
Ooh, hoping you get Orphan's Song as a Christmas present too … and I hope you enjoy it. :)
Giving gifts is one of my favorite things! I love searching for the right gift.
That was a pretty epic video! Totally helped me continue to keep saving up for your book on Amazon (it's hard when I want to buy soooooo many)! :D
Oh yay! Then it accomplished it's goal. Lol. I won't tell how many takes it took to get it just right, but let's just say I could have watched a feature length film in the time it took me to perfect it. ;)
Cool video. I am reading the book now and am enjoying it. Looking forward to seeing where it is going.
Glad you're enjoying it so far, Rachel!
You should totally become an actress too. ^.^ Also, your book has severely piqued my interest. It's already gone on my Christmas list, and if somehow I don't receive it then, I think I'm gonna have to go out and buy it. =)
I wish! If one but had the time …
I certainly don't want to take away one of your Christmas gifts in case someone did get it for you, but I am also running a giveaway on Goodreads right now, in case you would like to enter! :)

Your video shows your excitement over your book and makes me excited about it too. Who did the music for the video?
It sounds bad, but I actually don't know. You see, I filmed the video and then sent it off to my publisher and they put it together with the music and flaming logo at the end. :) But the music does add a nice touch, doesn't it?
Can't wait for book 2!! I am already so excited :)
Elizabeth
I can't wait for y'all to get book 2! Whew. Inspiration right there to finish it up…
I am excited for book two!! I haven't finished book one yet but I love it so far!!
So encouraging to hear, Jack! Right now, I'm toiling through some of the toughest parts of book two, so that right there is just the extra push I needed to keep pressing on! :)
