Tentative Publication Date for Paradox!

I got off track last week and instead of posting my progress on Wednesday, I went a little off topic. But, I actually have some substantial updates today. I tallied up my word count since last Sunday and I've managed to get in another 6k words in, which puts me very near the finish line! I have about 10k to go (I'm estimating on what scenes I have left to finish). I should be able to finish up in the next week or two and I'm done! I normally edit as I write, so I will do another quick round of editing before I start sending it off to my beta readers.

So, readers can expect to see PARADOX published sometime around mid-March! Yay! I will be able to complete my goal of finishing up book two by the end of Round 1. A big thank you goes out to all those that have asked when book two is going to be out! It definitely gets me motivated to finish up the second book in the series. I was really shooting for a February date, but I wanted to make sure I got the story right. I didn't want to put in a half-as* effort.

In other news, I have been introduced and have been suckered into checking out Pinterest. If you want to follow me and check out my boards, you can find me here. Keep in mind, I only joined up yesterday, so my boards aren't complete yet.

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day this past week and to those lucky ones, I hope you enjoy your day off tomorrow in honor of President's Day! I unfortunately have to teach tomorrow, so no holiday break for me!
