Now that I’ve finally laid a very busy March to rest, I bring good news:
Paragon of Water, book 3 of Spectrum Legacy, was named Best YA Fantasy of 2023 in the MPL Richard Wright Literary Awards.
This is so exciting, and it means good things for readers in the Mid-South! Before long, you’ll be able to check out Spectrum Legacy from the public library.
That means this is also a good time to share a quick status update for progress on this series.
I’m still working on smoothing out a few hitches in the outline for Paragon of Shadow, but it’s close to being finished, and it’s done enough that I’ve already started drafting the beginning of the book.
Information for the cover has been sent to the cover artist, so that will be getting underway soon.
As of right now, book 5 is expected to be ready for publication at the end of this year, but no dates yet.
It’s a short update, but I hope it gives you something to look forward to.
Speaking of looking forward to things, you’ll be able to find me signing books (Yes, including Paragon of Water!) at the Memphis Bookstock Festival on April 6, so be sure to come out! I may have some goodies to give readers, too…
