\"BurningSeveral months ago, Burning Willow Press<\/a> accepted\u00a0The Most Special Chosen<\/em> for publication. As a result, I had to take it down from all sites, as, legally, I can’t have it for sale while under contract with a publisher.<\/p>\n

Rather than fret, I decided to view it as a chance to start from scratch. I scrapped the old site and had Jessica Craney<\/a> design a new one for me because she’s a brilliant designer. The new site should be available soon.<\/p>\n

I’m also redesigning the series logo and developing a series tagline (both coming soon). There are a lot more things on the horizon. For now, I’ll just say that\u00a0The Most Special Chosen<\/em> is being re-released in March 2018. Keep an eye out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
