I thought I was at least a month from finishing my current WIP, Captive of the Falconstar.<\/em> But I made some really good progress over the weekend, and now I think that I may be able to finish it before the start of April\u2014but only if I push really hard to finish it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I’ve decided to put off everything else that doesn’t absolutely have to get done, in order to focus on that WIP. Part of that means putting off this blog. Whether or not I finish Captive of the Falconstar,<\/em> I’ll be back in April, but this is going to be the last post for a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, if you want to preorder Captive of the Falconstar,<\/em> you can now do so on Amazon and most other stores! The book description isn’t that good, so I’ll definitely update it before the book goes live, but other than that it’s basically good to go. And if you want to pick up book 1, it’s currently available for free.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\tWhen freedom is a fantasy, only revenge is real.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSonya has lost her home, her name, and her freedom to the Hameji raiders who carried her off across the stars. Her only friend has remade herself as a Hameji queen\u2014and now treats Sonya as just another pawn in her desperate game for power.\r\n\r\nSonya tells herself that all she wants is to escape. But beneath that hope burns a hunger for revenge.\r\n\r\nWhen Lord Khasan takes a second bride to secure a powerful alliance, the women of the Falconstar are drawn into a ruthless contest to produce the firstborn son and heir. As rival queens scheme for position and an old blood feud erupts into war, Sonya is pulled into a world where a woman’s worth is measured by the sons she bears, the favors she can trade, and the secrets she can exploit.\r\n\r\nIn the ruthless game of Hameji politics, captivity takes many forms. And if Sonya can survive the role she has been forced to play, she may finally have the chance to bring her captors to their knees.\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/a>\r\n
