Dearest Squad, I have no idea how to introduce this chapter. So instead, I will give you a completely fun fact about me that I bet you never knew: I have always been fascinated by just how many words and phrases in common vernacular (US and UK specifically, though I’m learning that Korean has a few as well) are…
Preorder THIEFTESS here! I think I summed up most my gratitude for the 2024 editions of the first three Woodcutter Sisters books in the back of Enchanted. But I feel the need to give an extra shout out here to the gracious and wonderful people of Audible. And, of course, my dearest Katy Kellgren. When Brilliance first approached me…
Preorder THIEFTESS Today! PS – There are at least 2 reports of folks having Amazon tell them they have already ordered the book, or that the file is saying DEAREST. This is an Amazon glitch. All the metadata on my end is 100% clean. If this happens to you, please restart your computer, clear your browser cache, and/or report…
Dearest Squad, I got home from my travels up north right before my birthday in January, and thanks to some pretty crushing anxiety and depression about my career (and Piper, and the state of the world in general) it took me over a month to get sleep and food and medicine and exercise and everything else back on a…
Dearest Squad, A new chapter is now live! Chapter 40: The Lucky Thief Before Scrivener, I used to keep Excel spreadsheets of my daily word counts. So I know what day I first started writing this novel: June 23, 2015. Eleven years is a long time. Because of that, I don’t always remember the exact order in which certain…
Dearest Squad, What with one thing or another, 11 chapters happened. Okay, not really. What happened was that I uploaded a bunch of chapters to Tapas (hello, new Tapas family!). Tapas is an app/platform that I began researching in 2024 as a possible place on which to release my super fun mainstream-reality-show-idol-romance-drama set in Korea…but then last year Carter…
Dearest Squad, A new chapter is now live! Chapter 28: The Luckiest of Men I often think about how much of this book could not have been written ten years ago. Like even just this chapter title, for instance, which was inspired by Harrison Ford’s magnificent Life Achievement Award speech at the SAG awards in March. “I am indeed…
Dearest Squad, A new chapter is now live! Chapter 27: Magnificent Sister of Ice, Snow, and Sky You can blame this chapter on Casey. Or, rather, you can blame this chapter on the fact that Casey had just taught “Rime of the Ancient Mariner” in one of her classes right around the same time I wrote this. We read…
Dearest Squad, A new chapter is now live! Chapter 26: Things Left Unsaid I refer to this as the “Mostly Dead” chapter, after that moment in The Princess Bride when Westley was only “mostly dead” but still had a ways to go. I needed these chapters, this break between all the action. The readers need a break. The characters…
