Only a few more days!


May 8th is the official day per my distributors! Everything is approved and ready to go; I'm just waiting for the official email from them stating that's it's ready.

Once it's online I'll start posting links to where it's located. If it's anything like the last one, it'll be on Bookbaby and Amazon's websites the same day, then B&N and a few other places within a couple days.

I'm so excited!

Less than a month!

I am excited to announce that the eBook should (tentatively) be released on May 1st. I'm waiting for the designers to finish up on the cover art, then I have to approve the eBook format. Once all the approvals go through, it'll be released in my BookShop after a couple days then another week or so on Amazon and other online retailers. 

The tentative release for the paperback version is May 19th in my BookShop, then another month or so in other commercial retailers like Amazon and B&N.

Yay!

I've been trying to give myself a bit of a break between books, but I am probably going to be starting Book 3 soon. I've already gotten the main plot figured out as well as the details of the first few chapters. It's going to be a lot darker than the past two; I won't give too much away, but we're going to start seeing how things are going in the cities...and it's not good.

More to come later!

Spoilers!

I know a bunch of you might be thinking, "Why the heck hasn't Jen chucked out more chapters lately?"

Well, actually....I have. Just not online. I don't want to spoil the ending, plus I've added a bunch of chapters in between so it would be a lot of work.

Instead, I leave you with this:


The book's been through its first round of initial editing, and it's now being proofread by a couple awesome friends and family members of mine (and me, of course). Ideally, I'd like to get the final proof submitted to my distributor by the end of February, sooner if possible...it just all depends on how quickly my proofreaders get through it.

So yay for exciting news!

I will give you a few tidbits about the book: it has 44 chapters (so far...it might get longer) and has a big battle...and someone dies. Only 3 people--me, my husband, and my best friend--knew in advance who died, and my best friend had tears in her eyes and was legitimately mad at me over it for a few hours (but then we had some wine and she got over it). I cried like a hungry, angry baby as I wrote the sequence. I actually had no intention on this character dying; I had a long, drawn out plan for their life over the next couple books in the series. Unfortunately the story called for blood and I had to abide. I'm not happy about it, but good comes out of it...you'll see. ;)

I'll post updates in here with updates on the status. You can also scope out my facebook page as I tend to post random stuff on there more than here: https://www.facebook.com/BravingTheStormStory

Talk to you soon! :)
