Where I stand in the publishing world

When I started writing Veil of Embers, I didn’t know what would come of it. I just knew I had a world I needed to build and a story I needed to tell. Since then, the world has grown bigger, the story deeper, and my path clearer. So I wanted to take a moment and share exactly where I stand in the publishing journey, for those who are curious (or walking a similar path).

Book 1: Complete and Querying

Veil of Embers (Book 1 of the Threadfire Series) is complete. It’s the book that started everything, and I’m currently querying it to agents with the goal of traditional publication. It’s been revised, beta-read, and revised again. Now, it’s out there, on desks, in inboxes, and hopefully, on the minds of a few sharp-eyed agents who see its potential.

Book 2: Done and going to Beta

Book 2 is complete and will be in the hands of 25 beta readers. This book goes deeper into the magic, the politics, and the personal stakes.

Book 3: In Progress

Yes, I’m writing Book 3 now. The world has taken root, and the threads are pulling tight. The stakes are higher, the consequences are real, and honestly? I’m having the time of my life creating it.

Why I’m Sharing This

Publishing can be a slow, strange process 😅especially when you’re in the in-between. Not published yet, not quite “new” anymore. Just writing. Just putting in the work. This post is for anyone wondering where I’m at, and maybe also for anyone who needs to hear that being in progress is a valid.

Thanks for being here. Whether you’re a reader, a writer, or someone just passing through, this story is growing, and I’m so grateful to be telling it.
