WONDERFUL NEWS: “UNROOTED” HAS FOUND A PUBLISHER!
That’s right! The original project I have been working on and blogging about will finally be brought into the real world and shared with all of you!
I am so happy to announce that my novel, Unrooted*, has been selected by REUTS Publications for their bookshelf. I am so happy to be working with them–my conversations with them have shown that they truly get and appreciate this book and want to do their best to bring it to life.
We do not have a set publication date yet–there are a lot of variables to take into consideration. As I’ve mentioned before, publishing is a long process, and I want to make sure that this book is as good as it possibly can be before it is released. That said, it will be at least eighteen months, but as soon as we know for sure, you will, too!
Thank you so much to all of my followers–your encouragement of my writing, whether my fan fiction or my original work, has been absolutely invaluable. You made it possible for me to feel confident enough in my writing to believe this could be a reality.
I want to give a special shout-out to my Morana Witches, @aelin, @elenalanstova-morozova, @illyrianazriel, @blackbeak, @czernyisnthere, @the-self-entitled-bitch, @manonthecrochanqueen, @fireheartandiceprince, @her-misplaced-wings, @amren, @elains, @high-lady-aelin-fireheart, @brekkfast, @samxbirch @daedric-bunny, and @waywardwesternwanderer for being part of my life for a whole year now, always believing in me, and for adding your advice and encouragement on a near-daily basis.
Also many thanks to my other friends, old and new, for being excited with me, being involved in Unrooted, and being there when writing and the world just got to be too much: @sophiacbv, @illyriantremors, @valamerys, @kitashiwrites, @abookandacoffee, @squaddreamcourt, @eliniei, @buggitybooks, @alphinah, and so many others I’m probably forgetting (I LOVE YOU!!!!).
With that, here’s a little summary of Unrooted …
Blood on the snow grants wishes, you know
For better or worse, for blessing or curse …
Pomona has always lived in the royal garden, using her magic over plant life to care for the sacred Trees of Viaţă. She hasn’t left since she was two years old, when she was burdened with a curse that dooms her to steal breath from anyone who touches her skin.
Despite being the fairest of them all, Prinţesa Nevea’s only friends are the animals with whom she can speak, and she longs to flee her mother’s icy presence to marry a foreign prince, true love or no.
When Nevea’s trusted dwarven adviser betrays her and attempts to have her killed—framing Nevea’s mother for the crime—the prinţesa must flee into the forest with the reluctant Pomona, drawn into the plot by a legacy and magic she cannot understand. Guarded by the mysterious and ethereal Delia, the girls must survive in the forest, where Nevea, still believing her mother guilty, takes shelter with seven treacherous dwarves. Unwilling to trust the dwarves, Pomona flees and finds sanctuary with an enigmatic seer and their companion, a huntress with no hands. In the face of her own curse, mutterings of a prophecy, and undiscovered gifts, Pomona must convince Nevea of the dwarves’ plot—and their thirst for dark magic—and save the prinţesa from a dark and gruesome death.
This retelling of a well-known fairy tale weaves intrigue, magic, and survival into a fresh tale ready for telling.
Once again, thank you all for the support, and I look forward to updating you as the process moves forward.
