Gearing up for Conjuring Destiny!



Huh, for some reason Blogger only let me put this picture up REALLY big or super tiny. Sorry about that.

Anyway, Holy Wow, Conjuring Destiny comes out in only 8 days.

It's available for pre-order on
Amazon

And getting it ready has been a wild ride. Since this is the most complex book I've ever written, the revision process was equally more involved. Plus, I had to get advance review copies ready on the 1st.

Ranting about that process could take pages, so instead we'll just say that it involved being stuck at the computer for 16 hours for several days.

After that, I had some formatting hell.

But I got the ARCs off to reviewers.

...And then my hard drive died and I had to get a new laptop. Thanks to getting the ARCs out, I was able to recover the book and reformat it.

This last week was dedicated to getting it ready for print and sending it off to the retailers.

Whew!

Now it's just fun stuff like preparing for my virtual release party and book tour.

I am really excited, and, I admit, terrified. Although so far the advance reviews have been positive, I'm still worried about how this one will be received.

For one thing, it's different than the first 2 books in the series, and it's definitely more fantasy than urban fantasy.

For another, fantasy is HARD! I had to build a whole new world and sets of different people and cultures. So I hope I didn't suck at it.

Also, my heroine, Xochitl, is really weird. She was definitely the most challenging character to write.

So, I'm crossing my fingers that you all like this one.

Now I'm going to get back to writing. Hearts of Metal, book 3 and Scandals with Bite, Book 4 need attention.
