New Novel!!!

I am thrilled to announce that my next book, "The Fatal Rose" has just been bought by Evernight Teen! If the title sounds familiar, or if we've chatted before: yes, this is the novel that's based on my 2019 fic of the same name, which you can find here:

  https://archiveofourown.org/works/18727783/chapters/44421136 I’ll try to post updates on the publication timeline here, but since there are only so many hours in the day, if you want to know what’s going on with this, or want info on my other books, you’re best following me on twitter, where my handle is @glittercracker1 Since this is pretty much hot off the press (or email, such as it is) I don't know yet what the contract terms will be, so I don't know whether the publisher will allow me to leave the fic up or not. So if you love it, save it! And if the publisher will let me, I'll be acknowledging every single one of you who's left me comments on this fic. They're honestly among the nicest accolades I've had in two decades of writing. Thank you all for being the first to love this story! <3

Update on “The Fatal Rose”

I'm not entirely sure where to put this to ensure that people will see it, but I'm hoping that you find it here if this fic matters to you!

So, as many of you know, I'm a professional writer and editor as well as a lover and writer of fanfic. What many of you probably don't know is that my HxH fic, “The Fatal Rose,” began its life as an original novel. When I hit a block in writing the first draft, I decided to write the rest as fanfic on my daughter's suggestion, also to fulfill a promise to write for the 2019 HXH BB.

Well, it went better than I thought, and now it looks like this book, in its original form, could end up published as a novel! If it does, I will likely have to take the fic down (it's considered a conflict of interest to most publishers since AO3 is free.) But I have been so touched by the love this fic has garnered, and all the kind comments readers have sent in the last year and a bit. So I want to tell you now that it may disappear (at least for a while!) from this site and give you time to save it if it's important to you. Please know that I WILL put updates on here if I take it down, re the publication as a novel. And hopefully, someday, it will do well enough that I'll be able to put it back up, if all of this happens.

Stay well!
