Aw, thanks! I really appreciate that! I have a whole page on my blog of the resources that helped me write my first book (at 32) and get published. It's all here: The tl;dr is that I get an idea; develop a world; find a main character who would be uniquely challenged by it; determine the beginning, the moment everything changes, the climax, and the end; build a playlist; and then start writing at the beginning. The most important thing to remember is that all first drafts suck, so if you can accept that and just write one straight through, start to finish, you'll have something to edit. Good luck!

Hello! I just finished reading Wicked as They Come and loved every minute of it! I was excited to read Wicked Ever After for another Criminy fix, but the ebook is now selling at $12.99? I know that the publisher sets the price, but that seems like a lot for an ebook. Are there any promotion codes or anything available? I'm sure it's fantastic so I really don't want to miss out on reading this. :(
