Love your e-reader but still prefer the feel of a book in your hands? Do you stick your nose in the spine, close your eyes and inhale that mouthwatering scent? Yep, darling, I’m right there with you. ⁠

I place my hand over hers, knotted beneath the table. I expect her to return the gesture, entwine our fingers and cleave to me—the final reassurance that we’ve agreed to keep our story between just the two of us—but she doesn’t. In fact, she does the opposite, moving her hands out from under mine and grasping either side of her seat, instead.⁠

Happy Wednesday, darling. I got up this morning thinking about this journey we're all on and how unique your journey is, how unique mine is, and how different they are from each other, at least in the details. I won't get too wuwu on you (at least not today - I'm up against a deadline!), but I do want you to remember that no matter where you are right now, you're exactly where you're supposed to be. Just because someone else's hustle looks different than yours or maybe even further along than yours, DOES NOT mean you're behind or failing. There is NOTHING wrong with you. Your path is important. Keep moving, keep working every day to put yourself in a positive headspace. It is HARD sometimes, I get it. Sometimes I wake up and wish I could go back to bed, get an instant do-over. But if you have dreams, and I'll bet you do -- BIG ones -- then the ONLY thing holding you back is your own negative thoughts. ⁠

I shouldn’t have agreed to take her on as a student. Should’ve left well enough alone. But then I, too, glance at the surrounding carnage. We’re two people huddled in the middle of a pile of blood and guts and severed limbs and yet…I can’t imagine being anywhere else. ⁠

When I first started writing Nyle, I was elated by how clearly he came to my mind. I knew what he looked like, how he dressed, his demeanor, his back-story, goals and motivations. What I didn't expect was the depth of conflict he'd pose not only on himself but on Scylla as my main character. To say he's been one of my favorite characters to write isn't giving him the credit he's due. He's been right up there with Athen in my eyes--and if you're in my writing circle or one of my beta readers, you know how much I LOVE writing for Athen.

Heart and soul, y'all. Both have been poured into every single page of this series. I can't believe it's all about to come to an end! These characters have allowed me to explore a part of myself I didn't realize existed. To not only dig deep into my imagination, but to also remember what stories have inspired me as a writer.⁠
