 During the production process, the team at Tantor Media asked whether I'd like a male or female voice actor to portray my characters. For me, the answer was obvious -- I wanted a guy. Despite the fact that Elvish is written as a split point-of-view between Venick and Ellina, I've always seen this as Venick's story. Maybe it's because when the idea for Elvish first came to me, it was Venick whom I saw most clearly. Or maybe it's just plain ol' author bias (I really do have such a soft spot for him). Whatever the reason, I'm so pleased with how Daniel Thomas May narrated the book and I can't wait for you to listen, too!

I had so much fun visiting with this book club and these wonderful women! They brought me into their circle and had the best questions about Elvish and my writing journey, and I'm so glad to have been invited. Here are a few shots from the event! 
 It's March! I've been DEEP in Elder work and edits, so first thing's first - for those of you (patiently) waiting on the first three chapters of Elder, you can expect those in your inbox soon :)
We have an audiobook release date! Elvish will be available as an audiobook on April 9. The very talented Daniel Thomas May (you might remember him from The Walking Dead!?) is narrating the book and I can't imagine anyone better for the job. That's coming up soon, so stay tuned! My interview for "Bestselling Author Secrets" is going live in just a few days! If you're an aspiring author, you won't want to miss this. There are so many amazing writers who are sharing their advice on how they became bestsellers, and I'm excited and honored to have been included. The summit begins on March 11th and my talk with Sara Connell airs on March 14th. Joining the summit is free and everything is online. You can register for that here! Last, I have some giveaway info! I often like to partner with fellow authors to give away excerpts (or sometimes full books) to readers. I'm currently part of several giveaways, so I'll link to them below. You should check them out!

It feels soooo different (I've never had my hair this short) but I'm glad I finally did it. One of my friends saw me and said, "You look like such an author!" There's a video in my Instagram stories for the next few hours (until I get real pictures taken) if you want to see ;) Alright, that's all for now. Be good to each other and as always, happy reading! More exciting book news! I've officially signed an audiobook deal with Tantor Media, meaning Elvish will soon be coming to you on Audible / Google Play / iTunes / all the others! I'll keep you updated on the timeline for this, but it's looking like the audiobook will be releasing by the end of this year. Hooray! Taegan over at Fupping asked me to weigh in on my favorite fantasy novels for his newest article. If you guys are looking for new book recommendations, you can check the full article out here! As per usual, I mention two of my all time favorites: The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss and Daughter of the Forest by Juliette Marillier. I LOVE both of these books so much, and recommend them to everyone!  We have a new map! Since we'll be exploring more of the mainlands in book two, I thought it'd be a good time to update the original map with a more detailed full color version. You can also see the map in high resolution on the Elvish book page!   I was recently interviewed for Medium/Authority Magazine about my experience becoming an author, and my five best tips for new writers. Follow the link for the full interview!
 Guys! I've been BUSY. The sequel to Elvish is up on Goodreads and I've officially announced the title (see the original post about that here!). I've started talking cover art with my designers. I've maybe (maybe!?) got some news coming up about the Elvish audiobook. I'm knee-deep in Elder edits, and am rushing to get the promised first three chapters out to readers. I was just interviewed for Authority Magazine and Thrive Global, and they've asked to feature me in their upcoming bestseller author summit (where I'll be sharing advice for all my author-hopefuls out there!). NO, I'm not sleeping. It's okay. I'll get around to that later. *hysterical laughter* *sobs into hands*
I recently talked to UpJourney about what it means to be an introvert, and why authorship was the perfect career path for me.  I was recently asked to share my author New Year's resolutions with Creative Click Media! Here's what I had to say:  |
