Popping in today with your end of the month writing update! This month has been a busy month around other health things, but I’m so excited to be inching closer to Heart of Hope’s release date.
This month I have been busy getting Heart of Hope ready for release! Which has included final proofing, print proofs, and formatting. ARC Team Sign Ups are currently open (you can sign up by clicking here) and ARCs are scheduled to go out on November 1st. I always loved when I start getting print proofs, there’s just something that’s so fun about holding your book in your hands, and I am absolutely in love with the print cover for Heart of Hope.
I have also started dabbling a bit in what will be the next Hooves & Heart’s book. Right now I’m very much in the beginning stages, so I’m largely focusing on plotting, character backstory, and some writing here and there. I’ll have more about the next book in the series for your closer to the end of this year/beginning of next year, but there will be more books in the Hooves & Hearts Series, and I can’t wait to share them with y’all.
On the fantasy front, with the publishing process slowly wrapping up with Heart of Hope, I’ve diving back into the Tales of Kelnore. The next book in the series, The Deceiver, is drafted, and I’m currently beginning to go through the manuscript again with a fine tooth comb, focusing on self-editing and self-revisions. I’m still not spending quite as much time on the manuscript as I am on Heart of Hope, but I’m really enjoying getting back into it. My goal is to have my self-edits & revisions done by the end of this year so I can get the manuscript off to my editorial team and stay on track for a 2026 release.
At the beginning of the month, I had started reading A Sense of Danger by Jennifer Estep (urban fantasy romance). I’ve finished that and it was a super fun read! I’m definitely looking forward to getting my hands on the rest of the series. I’ve currently started reading The Star-Crossed Empire by Maya Darjan (sci-fi romance) and Traitor’s Knot by Cryssa Bazos (historical fiction).
