BEHOLD! A COVER!

I love it so much. I’m so happy to see all the line work coming together. Rhett’s doing an amazing job and I can’t thank him enough.

With the bulk of the outlines done, that really just leaves details, colors and shading. I shouldn’t say “just” because that’s still an awful lot of work. In fact, I think that’s the hardest part of any project so let me just rescind that “just”.

We’ll also be ironing out text closer to reveal time.

But yeah. There it is. The bones of my book cover!

In other news!

I swore this was going to be my last editing pass, but something happened. I reworked a major plot point to remove some clunk I was struggling with. Which resulted in an entire rework of the ending, but that’s a good thing! I was really afraid of end being the weakest point of the entire book and, as it was, I sincerely think it was. It’s been messing me up for a while, but I finally have a clear path forward.

Things to look forward to!

Full cover reveal coming next month! I don’t know how much of an event it’s going to be, but I hope to make something of it for Pride Month.

Speaking of Pride, I don’t think I’ll be doing daily shorts again. A lot of my focus is currently on getting the book out the door by October. I might get a handful of shorts if any, but no promises.

All in all, it’s going well.

Here’s an updated timeline of events:

I’m still in a bit of shock that this is all actually happening. That I’m actually going to publish a book and its going to have an awesome cover AND there’s gonna be illustrations. I’m just floored by the thought of how amazing this whole thing is gonna be.

If you’re maybe a little excited, too, stay tuned for more!

Until next time! \o

It’s so beautiful 🥹
