Happy Release Day, Darkfall!

Darkfall officially releases today, yippee! How am I celebrating? Lunch with the hubby! Yep, I'm a wild one for sure. There's actually a lot of prep work for a release, so by the time it comes out I'm beat. The 30 days before and after are pretty full, and I have a huge To-Do List I delight in checking off. It's all fun stuff (well, mostly), but it does put a hold on just about everything else in my life. I can be wild later when it's all over.

On a related note, I'm doing a Q&A over at Charity's Writing Journey, so pop by and say hello. More guest posts and interviews coming up as well, and I'll keep you posted on those.


So, what's the book about? Kinda like this...

War has come.

Nya’s the one who brought it. And the people love her for it.

With Baseer in shambles and Geveg now an impenetrable military stronghold, Nya and the Underground have fled to a safer location—without Tali. Nya is guilt-ridden over leaving her sister behind and vows to find her, but with the rebellion in full swing and refugees flooding the Three Territories, she fears she never will.

The Duke, desperate to reclaim the throne as his own, has rallied his powerful army. And they are on the move, destroying anyone who gets in the way.

To save her sister, her family, and her people, Nya needs to stay ahead of the Duke’s army and find a way to build one of her own. Past hurts must be healed, past wrongs must be righted, and Nya must decide: Is she merely a pawn in the rebellion, a symbol of hope—or is she ready to be a hero?

If you'll forgive me for some shameless self-promo

Praise for Darkfall:

"A conflicted, complex heroine to the end, Nya anguishes over the potential pain and death she will trigger to preserve what she loves...the finale offers suspense, resolution of prior wrongs, the sweetness of first love and a battle-tested heroine who fights with her head and heart."

—Kirkus
