Stay Tuned . . .

Thanks so much to everyone who has downloaded and read The Witch Queen’s Secret! I hope you’re enjoying it! I had such a wonderful time writing it and am so excited to get to share it with the world.

My husband designed the cover art. Did I mention that? And I didn’t even have to coat his fingers with jelly to get him to do it. He is just so great. Do I deserve him? Wait, don’t answer that.

And now he’s created another gorgeous cover, which is coming VERY soon! Here it is if you’ve missed seeing it on the site elsewhere:

The title is Dawn of Avalon, and it’s a prequel featuring Morgan and Merlin. Now, my husband, though clearly the best husband ever, is not really much of a fiction reader. If he weren’t married to me, would he ever voluntarily pick up a fiction book? Kinda doubtful.

We’ve been married long enough to communicate solely through raised eyebrows and twitches if need be and I can spill my heart and soul to him, but I don’t usually talk to him too much about the details of whatever I’m in the process of writing–any more than he talks to me in detail about the computer program he’s working on. (He works on computational models of hypersonic fluid dynamics. I’m pretty sure. And you now know almost as much as I do about it). So anyway, he is always–and I find this hugely funny–always kind of surprised when he reads one of my books in its final form. A typical conversation:

Nathan, having just read something I’ve written: Wow, that is just really, really well phrased. Did you come up with that yourself?
Me: Um, honey? Remind me what it is I do for a living again?

However, in addition to making the cover, my man has now READ Dawn of Avalon. And he says he thinks it’s ‘some of my best writing’. And Nathan, the scientist/physicist/mathematician who would never voluntarily pick up a fiction book, pronounces the language ‘really pretty.’ That may be my favorite compliment EVER!

So anyway, please stay tuned for Dawn of Avalon, I really am so, so excited to share this story!

   You’re excited to share and I’m excited to read it! Thanks for another free short story!

   Doesn’t having an awesome hubby ROCK?! My husband is the best at supporting my blogging and turning our bedroom into my personal library and he is not a reader at all, but respects my passion for it!

   And kudos to your husband – he’s done a fabulous job!!!! And I can’t wait to check out Dawn of Avalon!

   thanks Anna!

   PS – I’ll be sending our interview questions your way either tonight or tomorrow! Take care!
