Bella's Ceremonial Manuscript Burning

To celebrate submitting the latest book to my publisher after a long period between releases, I went a little overboard with the fire dancing.

I'm actually not this energetic in everyday life - just when I finish a book (especially a 90K one). This one is titled Stay and is book six in my Waldorf Manor series. Overall, it is the ninth I've written. I also couldn't be happier to get it out of my heart and off my desk. Book seven in the series is already at 15,000 words and I have multiple other books going, so perhaps this fire-dancing, branch-wielding nonsense shall become a tradition.

 There is no need to ask when it's coming out. When I find out, you find out. I will announce it on the Bella's workload page and here on the blog. If you're signed up to receive my newsletter you will find out first. Email me to get on the list.

Upcoming Stuff

• Richmond Magazine wants to include me in a literary feature they're writing
  
• Working on WM book seven, Sam's Silence (Walden School book three), and a few other manuscripts simultaneously
  
• Entering a prestigious fiction contest with a word limit of 2,500 words. Uhm yeah. Good luck with that, Bella. I've entered two this summer already and waiting on results.
  
• Going away at the end of July for a weekend, for a week in August and another week in September. I shall be writing during most/all of those trips.
