The Light at the End of the Tunnel...

So I've been radio silent everywhere--Instagram, TikTok...this blog (cue the side eye)--but it's only because I've been busy getting A BROKEN THRONE OF BRONZE ready for release.

As an indie author, writing, editing, and polishing the book itself isn't where the work ends. Then comes the formatting, hiring a cover designer (or designing it yourself, like I did), and more of the housekeeping things that go into publishing a book. If you read my July newsletter (if you haven't signed up for my mailing list yet, stop what you're doing and go do that!!) you probably know that July was a very editing focused month for me. I did all the major story edits and rewrites in July, and wrapped up minor flow edits into the first days of August.

I just finished formatting the eBook, paperback, and hardcover editions of ABTOB, and have made the product pages for those in Amazon and Barnes & Noble. (Yay!) Print copy pre-orders should go live on Barnes & Noble's website very soon! Stay tuned for my August newsletter to be the first to know when those are available ;)

Now, all that's left to do is send out ARC acceptances and get ARCs out into the world! (Eek!) I can't wait to see what you all think, and hope you love Cryssa and Viridian's story as much as I do.

Since I'll be traveling for two weeks the second half of the month (and hitting the ground running with my second year of law school when I get back) the pressure is on to get all book-related tasks done before I leave (hence, the stress). But, all the hard work is so worth it, and letting ABTOB out into the world and into the hands of readers like you will be so, so rewarding. I can't wait!

Hopefully I won't be so radio silent from here on out, but I make no promises 😂

Until next time and happy reading,

Renna
