Happy early Thanksgiving! (Patreon)

I wanted to come on here a day early and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving (for those who celebrate)! I'm so grateful for each and every one of you! Having you all on this journey with me is such a blessing.

Updates:

I got around 65k words into book 4, which is a little more than what I'd consider a third of the rough draft. That's excellent progress! I surprised myself. I wanted to go as far as I could into the next book to see if I needed to add foreshadowing in Bitter Confessions and make sure the timeline is cohesive.

I'm stopping book 4 so I can listen to the Bitter Heat audiobook, which should go on sale in early December! Then, I'll re-read Bitter Secrets and start editing Bitter Confessions.

Dec/Jan: Revising Bitter Confessions

Feb 1: Manuscript goes to editor

Mar 11: I should get back edited manuscript.

I'm hoping for a mid/late March release, but may do a pre-order for April 1 just to be on the safe side. And I can publish early when everything's complete.

Postcards:

I'm sending out postcards as a thank you for being such awesome patrons! If you want one, make sure to update your mailing address in your account. I'll be sending them throughout December and January.

I am so excited for 2024! Bitter Confessions will release in the beginning of the year & then I'll be writing books 4 & 5 back to back, I believe. Release book 4 (tentatively titled Bitter Sins) around late summer/early fall? Book 5 beginning of 2025? And I'm hoping to get most if not all my books into audio... it's gonna be a hectic but awesome year!

Of course, anything can happen, but this is my schedule at the moment :)

Again, I'm so grateful for your support! Chatting with you guys about the characters and seeing your boards on Pinterest and listening to your playlists make me realize the series is so much more than I ever imagined. It's every author's dream come true to have readers care as much as you all do so thank you for that.

Much love,

Mia
