A Writing Update

A bit of a writing update...

I’m shelving The Treasonist’s Son. At least, for now.

It’s not the news I wish I could share about this project, and it’s not a decision easily or quickly made. It’s been a difficult process, but after a very long time of praying and thinking and trying to finish this book, it’s time to set it aside for a while.

I hope this is a “someday when” more than a “someday if” scenario, because I do want to finish the story that started with The Assassin’s Daughter. I want to finish it and do the story justice—but it’s been several years of writing and revising and it just isn’t getting anywhere. 

Maybe it’s a me thing. Maybe it’s a story thing that I just can’t see yet. 

To everyone who’s bought or read or posted about The Assassin’s Daughter: THANK YOU ❤️ You’ve been so kind and encouraging, and I appreciate so much that you’ve been on this journey with me and Kat and Ed so far. These characters have been a constant part of my “currently writing” loop since I was seventeen years old. It’s a little weird to have them quiet now. And I’m so sorry that it’s been such a long wait for any real updates, and that the update is that the whole thing is now on pause.

I look forward to returning to it, when the time is right again. 

As for what is next? I’ve been brainstorming and recently started drafting an idea that is mostly just for fun for now. I’ll still be posting about writing, but as for any updates, I’m not exactly sure what they’ll be. (But About the Author August planning is underway, so updates on that will be coming up in July!)


So that’s where things currently stand on the writing front, and even though I don’t know really what is next, I’m looking forward to the possibilities. ✨
