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! :)
