Three Months Away!

"Rest," a speed paint of Mae in the Silverwood

We are three months out from the publication of Woodwalker on May 17!  I have been doing a lot of artwork and planning in preparation.  This whole process has been so wild and exciting--- on publication day, it will be almost exactly two years since I started typing the first few paragraphs of Woodwalker.  So much has happened!  My characters and world have grown and changed so much!  I have an agent, a publishing house, a sequel!  And I couldn't have done it without so many of you.  Whether you're close family or an online follower,  your support and interest mean so much to me.

If you'd like to help me spread the word about Mae, Mona, and their adventures, here are a few ways you can help:

• Pre-order the e-book through HarperCollins.
  I know many people are waiting for the paperback, and unfortunately I won't have the official release date for that until the e-book is published.  But in the meantime, the e-book is available for pre-order, dirt cheap!  $2.99!
  
• Share my posts.
  Whether you follow me here or on Facebook, Twitter, or DeviantArt, please share my posts with your own followers.  More eyeballs mean more people who might connect with the story.
  
• Mention the book to people you know!
  If you have friends or family who enjoy fantasy and adventure stories, please let them know about the upcoming release!  If they seem interested, point them in the direction of my website or the pre-order page on HarperCollins.
  
• Keep in touch!
  If you have questions about the book, plot, writing, drawing, how I got my agent and publisher, why the Silverwood palace is named after a subfamily of fireflies, whatever--- let me know!  I love interacting with other writers, artists, and people interested in my work, and it helps me know what people are interested in seeing with regards to my posts.
  
• Keep watching!
  Over the next few months I will be sharing the cover design with you, as well as more illustrations and excerpts!  
  

Thanks as always for your support, even through shameless self-serving posts like this one.  I am so excited to be nearing publication day!
