A Short but Long Two Months

So the last couple of months have flown by! And I mean... if time could literally fly, I would believe it has the last couple of months. I made the over zealous decision to push publication on Part Two in The Unfading Land Series up a month. Now some people are like, "one month? That is not that big of deal."
But it is a difficult task. Especially since I had already decided to space my books out with six months between each of them. Six months between publication is a short time frame to begin with, but to shorten that even further is a lot of pressure. So why did I do it? 
Well I was as eager as all of you. I was ready for the second book to be written as well. And once I wrote it, I was eager to get it out there. And quickly. PLUS, I have received enormous amounts of feedback since releasing Book 1, that you guys were hounding me. ;p Just kidding.... sort of. 
I will gladly accept it though. It has been so fun to read your reviews, comments, emails, and messages. I have had the privilege of setting up at several book festivals this year, and to see people waiting to speak to me has been the coolest thing. Most of you wanted to pick my brain about book two, sneaky sneaky.... but the majority of you were just encouraging me and telling me what you liked about book 1.... which I love hearing. I also love hearing your theories on what you think is going to happen. :) 

That all being said: here's what all is going on right now.
I finally submitted my barcode information to my cover designer. The blurb for the back of the book cover is currently underway, and the finishing touches are being done on the manuscript. My editor and beta readers are hard at work pouring over the manuscript and should be finished in the next few days. We are on the home stretch! Woo Hoo!!! 
And it has been a whirlwind. :) 

So get ready for upcoming giveaways leading up to the release on OCTOBER 10th!
