The last month has been really tough…

I handed Aiko’s Dive off to my editor for a final pass at the end of January and have been waiting for an update ever since.

In the interim, I’ve been working on revisions for my next project–one I want to have that ready to send over to my publisher by the end of the summer. Still, even though I’ve been keeping myself busy, it’s been hard not to keep an eye on my email, hoping something would come through.

Today, I finally got an update!

My editor sent the book back to the publisher, and they’re putting it together. And while I can’t say exactly when, there is a tentative release month on the books. Hopefully, I’ll be able to reveal and exact date soon!

And that’s where the title comes in…

Traditional publishing is glacially slow, but it’s worth remembering that even though we can’t see progress, it’s happening. And it has been happening. Aiko’s Dive is moving forward, for the first time out of my hands. It’s exciting. And scary. And I honestly can’t wait to share more with you all!

Stay tuned, because I’m sure I’ll have more updates soon!!!
