Due to my notoriously shameful tradition of delinquent updates, I haven't written anything on my website in eons. Annnnd once again, I have to beg for forgiveness. I have no excuse really, other than the pathetic justification that I needed to see the sun for the first time in months after finishing Messenger, the first prequel to the Guardian Trilogy. Now that I've gotten an unremarkable tan on top of my formidable pasty white skin, I'm back. 

First, I want to thank everyone for leaving such sweet reviews and compliments about Messenger. You are the reason I write. Your emails and posts made the success in finishing it that much more rewarding, because I'm not kidding when I say that it was the most challenging book I've written to date. I'm rolling my eyes at this last sentence because deep down I know what an understatement it is. It was sleepless nights, sudden note taking in the middle of the grocery store, dazing out in the middle of conversations, unable to focus on anything but the novel kind of challenging. Thankfully, you seem to be happy with how it all turned out, so the effort was worth it.

With Messenger complete, and the very origin of Magdalene and Eran's love having been told, I'm hard at work on the next "chapter" in their centuries-long romance! In the coming 2nd prequel, informally titled Guardian, Magdalene and Eran's love is tested when no one (including friends) approves. They must stand alone as the Great War between the guardians and Fallen Ones begins. More backstory will be revealed, more origins to certain elements will be explained, more "holes" left in the trilogy will be filled. So if you don't hear from me again for the next several weeks you will know it is because I've once again locked myself in my dark office and have commenced writing. I'll try to surface with updates as I go, but please don't hold your breath. I'm regrettably hopeless in that regard. Have a wonderful summer everyone!
