This round of editing is complete. I’ve sent the first three chapters and my query letter to an editor for review. Next, I must decide what to do with Iggy’s story. The publishing world is tough and there are not many choices. Even knowing this I feel like there is much to ponder.

 

Creatively, I’ve been working on origin stories for Iggy’s Mystral ancestors, which has been a lot of fun. I’ve started six so far, though I’m not sure how—or if—I’ll share them. These stories have given me little breaks from the editing. One chapter was submitted to Havok publishing and will be posted online April 18th.

The Unlikely Hero

Book 1 of Iggy's Voyage

Iggy doesn’t believe in magic—until her mirror starts talking. If it’s not magic, the alternative is insanity so magic it is. This mirror friend insists Iggy’s next birthday will be life-changing but if she knew it meant begin whisked away with a dragon, a wizard, and her teacup poodle to save her absent father’s realm from an evil sorcerer, she might have thrown that mirror away.

 

Struggling to trust her own mind, Iggy must navigate magic, betrayal, and dark family secrets to rescue her mom and prove she’s Mystral’s saviour—not its destroyer. But with truth elusive and trust in short supply, can Iggy uncover her destiny before it’s too late?
