Today (and throughout the weekend), to celebrate the final book in the series, I’m giving away two copies to two different readers: your choice of ANY book in my bride-ship series. 🙂Īll that to say, after a lot of hard work, I’m pleased to see the bride-ship books making their way into readers’ hands as well as touching their hearts. It also helps that I’m really organized and self-disciplined. Sometimes that makes my life slightly crazy, but I’ve also entered a season where I have more time to devote to my writing career. The other truth is, I tend to set high goals for myself and then push myself to achieve them.

It made sense to release them in quick succession, especially because I have other projects-like The Fairest Maidens YA series-waiting in the wings. And in this particular case, my books were ready and my publisher had openings for them this year. Because of that, I have more flexibility with release dates. The truth is, I write most of my projects at least eighteen months ahead of publication. So then, how did I manage to write three books in such close succession?Īctually, I didn’t crank them out one after the other. In fact, over the years I’ve become more obsessive about editing my books, not less. It’s not within my genes to skimp on anything. I usually plod along, eking out a daily word count with sweat and tears. Very much not.Īnd no, I don’t write really fast either. While I wish I could say I was superwoman, no, sadly, I am not. One question that has cropped up is: How in the world did you manage to write three books in such close succession? Are you superwoman? Do you write really fast? Or maybe you skimp on the editing?
