The past few months have been a definite struggle for me and it has been a great reminder of how much work and commitment goes into writing. After publishing The Wanderer about a year ago it took a while for me to pick up a new story. At first I tried to re-write my first ever novel, With Eyes That See. It was difficult to come to the realization that it wasn't the right time and it might never be the right time to publish that story. After that I took a stab at three other novels; reaching various states of completion. In one novel's case I had nearly reached the end.

It is very intimidating to pick up the task of writing a novel, given the fact that until you've completed it, you can't be truly certain that it will ever be published or completed. I've realized how much strength and dedication is required of a person to keep trying, pushing through the difficult times, and overcoming obstacles.

My latest project, a story which will be a companion to The Wanderer and the series joining the novels together, has been a blessing. It has reminded me what the absolute, unadulterated joy of writing is. I hope to release the novel within the next few months and in the time before its release, I will be filling you in on information regarding the novel including things like: the name of the series, book title, character introductions, excerpts, cover reveal, and more.

I also hope to reach out to bloggers and fellow authors for help in promotion. If you are reading this post and would like to participate in helping me spread the word about my latest novel when the time comes then please don't hesitate to contact me. I am happy to provide digital review copies and provide excerpts as well as cover images and other information for release and reveal posts.
