Hey Everyone,
I am so excited
to share the second cover in the Court of Bones and Ash series, Fae King’s
Hunger.
Can you hear me squealing over the internet? Isn’t it gorgeous? I am so unbelievably lucky to work with such talented professionals!
And because I’m
a total flake, I have to share my pre-order worries with you. I had this enlightening
moment earlier today where I saw a corollary between my pre-order scheduling
and Christmas dinner.
You’re
scratching your head, aren’t you? Hold on. It’ll make sense in a minute.
Or maybe not…
My family and I
host Christmas dinner every year. Big spread. Lots of dishes. Lots of moving
parts. Lots of mouths to feed. After twenty years, I still stress over timing
the completion of every dish. I want to serve everything together while it’s
still warm and yummy.
And you guessed
it. Every year, I screw up the schedule. Sometimes by a little. Sometimes by a
lot. Last year? Well, let’s just say it set its own record.
Oops. Thank god for wine.
And tequila.
And that
Portuguese liquor that goes down waaaay too smooth.
My
editing/writing schedule mirrors my stress in the kitchen which leads to a bit
of anxiety, which leads to me overestimating rather than underestimating, which
means I’m terrified of pre-order dates.
I’m planning to
release Fae King’s Hunger on April 26th, which is one month after Fae King’s
Temptation. But I’ll probably set the pre-order with a much later date until I
have the final proofed version uploaded, at which time I’ll move the date back
to April. Possibly sooner. We’ll see. I just worry about all the things that
could go wrong, and the last thing I want to do, is endanger my pre-order
privileges.
Oh, and let’s
pray to the cover gods that the artwork for books 3 & 4 goes smoothly
because I’m in the calendar for April/May, unless there’s an earlier opening. *Cue
gnawing of the nails.* But they are soooo worth the wait.
Lastly, I want
you all to know how much I’m enjoying writing in this world. I really hope you
all love these characters as much as I do.
Pre-order for
Fae King’s Hunger will be live soon.
Until then, peace
and love, peeps!
Layla
