2013 was a rather interesting year. As far as writing goes,
I didn’t write as much as I would have liked or publish as many books as I
wanted to, but I have the best excuse in the world for it: my beautiful baby
girl. Between pregnancy hormones, a not-working brain in my last few months,
and taking care of a newborn at the end of the year, publishing books just wasn’t
in the cards for me.
I did manage to publish one book, the Chroniker City novella
Le Theatre Mecanique, in April, a
book I started at the end of 2012. That was before the hormones and the
pregnancy brain hit. I also worked on the second draft of The Wizard’s Heart and began working on the third draft with my
editor, but unfortunately, that revision just couldn’t happen while I was
pregnant. My brain wasn’t in the right space. It didn’t work properly. So, I
had to step away from The Wizard’s Heart.
I had to step away from The Guild Conspiracy,
sequel to The Clockwork Giant, for
the same reasons. I think I was more disappointed about that than my fans.
