Happy birthday Hidden Magic!!

Here are some photos to commemorate the launch of Hidden Magic!!

Somehow, despite having no idea what to expect, it jumped all the way into the 8,000 rank on the entire amazon store. Which is crazy!!!!!! It hit #1 in a couple categories and top 3 in some others!!! Even managed some top 50 spots in VERY competitive categories!

I’d say it was a huge win!!

Cursed Magic: Book Two just got sent to the editor & the cover will be finalized in the next week!!! I’m hoping to...

Harper Shadow Academy Book TWO

Is in the works!

Wrote 5,024 words yesterday, putting me at 9,231 total! Going to attempt 3-5k daily this week 🙂

Book one was around 56k words so I’m curious to see how long this one becomes and how quick I can write it!

Going to write the blurb and commission the cover later this week once I know where the story is taking me.

I can share the title with you though.


Title: Cursed Magic

Goes nicely with book ones Hidden Magic View Post

Pretty sure I’ve decided on a new pen name 🙈.


So because I’m venturing into a new genre, the next book I write will be written under a new pen name. (Kate Myers is ya dystopian)


Drumroll please...


The new pen name will be....



Luna Pierce.

Gimme names!!!

I’m brainstorming a new series, a completely new genre—and I was hoping that maybe you folks could help me with brainstorming names!! There are going to be paranormal vibes, with witches and vampires & werewolves 🙈. So, with that being said, what kind of names come to mind?? 🙂

The Deranged series- characters

Thought you guys might like to see some notes I made from book two, as to how some of the characters are described.


Not sure why I never really describe Keith 😆. Even though I’m fairly certain he’s everyone’s favorite.



What do you think Keith looks like??

Thank you

I really just wanted to pop on here and say thank you to all of you for joining me on this creative adventure. Holy shit is it a massively lonely, incredibly daunting life--being a creative. So for you to pledge any amount of money, and your time to join me on this journey, means the world to me!

So, a big gigantic fucking thank you!


No real updates at this point. Book two is waiting edits from my editor, I should have it back later this coming week though (fingers cros...

The Deranged book two update

I just typed the end.

Clocking in at 54,581 words, the first draft of book two is complete!

I know for sure of a chapter that needs added, but otherwise, I need to beef it up another 6,000 words roughly. Totally doable and super excited to dive back in and edit this bad boy! SO THRILLED to share this story 😭😭😭


Here’s my plan:

  • Read through the book, make notes and small changes so I can have beta readers check it out

The Deranged Book Two

You guyysssssssss - yesterday I crossed over into the 50,000 word range, WHICH MEANS, the home stretch is here! 

The first draft of book two is nearly complete!!!

I feel as though my writing has definitely improved since book one, so the good news is there won't be SO MANY rounds of edits as book one, meaning it won't take another 6 years to release!

Eek!!! 

Still not sold on a title, leaning toward The Comatose or The Reformation?

The Deranged SEQUEL update!

Hi!

Just wanted to pop in and say HELLO! and share a bit of an update with where I currently am with this manuscript.

Starting Jan 12th, I committed to writing a minimum of 1000 words a day (minimum) in order to hit the estimated publication date of late March.

**I talked about this in my last post**

I've managed to hit that almost every day, except for a couple snags, and am currently only sitting 87 words behind schedule. After I type this post, I'm going to get back...

Update on The Deranged book two!

Today I did a listen-through on what I have written so far of the first draft of book two (because I had paused while writing the prequel and wanted to re-familiarize myself with where I was in the story).


Completely fell in love with the story, again, somehow and am SO FRIGGIN EXCITED to get back to work on finishing this book!!


Attached to this post, I’ve included a little rough figuring of anticipated info for the completion of this book.

THE DERANGED PREQUEL

I finished it!!!!

After sleeping on the completion, I thought of something else I wanted to add, so today I'll be adding that and polishing it a little and thennnnnnnn I am going to give YOU GUYS FIRST DIBS at checking it out!

PREQUEL UPDATE-->

Soon. 

The end is coming soon.

I'm at a rocky part of this story, where it hurts my soul to write the words. (You'll understand why when you read it.)

Thinking of possibly calling this book (instead of The Deranged: Prequel) The Engineer or The Consequence. Not sure yet. Just tossing around the idea. 

What do you think?

The Deranged - Prequel

The prequel for The Deranged is coming together quite well. I am VERY MUCH enjoying writing this and feel so darn good about this addition to the story.

AJ has been reading along and he seems to be loving it, so I'm hopeful you will like it, too!

Hoping to have it completely drafted in the next week, and then do some minor polishing to it. It's not a large piece, so I won't be hiring out an editor, just relying on feedback to make changes that slip past me. 

The plan wi...
