We have always envisioned this blog as a place where readers could interact with us, introduce themselves, ask us questions, give us honest feedback. We sincerely apologize that this has been hampered somewhat by our infrequent posting.
Directly before and immediately after hit shelves in October 2012, our little family was subjected to multiple tragedies that made 2013 very difficult for us. While working on , Tucker was hospitalized in August for spontaneous internal hemhorraging. Then, from December through February, it was suspected she had cancer and she was in and out of the hospital for biopsies and other tests. She also got tangled up in civil rights activism when she learned how her university treated female students with health and safety issues. She filed two federal complaints which launched two official federal investigations, and took steps to file a class action on behalf of other students who had been victimized. Larkin was in a car accident that left her with a permanent neck injury, for which she has had to have ongoing physical therapy. And Kelly had to handle a civil lawsuit against two individuals who stole money from our family.
All this made writing the sequel nearly impossible, and impacted our ability to maintain this blog, respond to emails, and update the content of the official website.
We had an extremely hard 2013, but we have high hopes for 2014. We look forward to the release of , to working on OTHERWHEN, and to turning this blog into what it was meant to be: a forum for sharing and questioning, forming friendships, and exploring Amber House.
