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\tFreedom is a fantasy\u2014but revenge is forever.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSonya tells herself she wants freedom\u2014that she only dreams of returning to her homeworld. But the truth burns hotter and darker. She wants revenge.\r\n\r\nThe problem? Zlata stands in her way. Once a captive like Sonya, Zlata clawed her way to become queen of the Hameji star clan\u2014and now she keeps Sonya as her slave.\r\n\r\nBut as the Valdamar Clan rises to threaten everything Zlata has built, the queen faces a brutal dilemma: rival wives circling for power, a warlord husband who needs an heir, and a dangerous solution that will force her to use Sonya in ways neither woman expected.\r\n\r\nIn the ruthless game of Hameji clan politics, captivity takes many forms\u2014and freedom may cost more than either woman can pay.\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/a>\r\n
