Dependent Re-release

New cover! Design by Streetlight Graphics.

Dependent's second edition is now ready for pre-order and will be available December 9th! 

It's been a few complicated months of rights discussions, editing, cover art and formatting work, but the Fortunate Frog Fiction edition of Dependent is ready to go and will release next week. This story is darker than my YA writing, and deals with some heavy issues. Sexual assault in the military setting, the culture of rank, deployments, moving...many of the things our military spouses deal with every day. 

If you haven't read it yet, please consider it for your reading list. There will be a Goodreads giveaway posted here next week and you could win one of two copies of the new edition. I'm also part of small blog tour to celebrate the re-release.

If you have read it, please share your thoughts in a review (Amazon and Goodreads are very easy platforms...), and don't forget to share with your friends!

Thank you to all who have supported me through this transition.

Dependent update

A few weeks ago you may have seen that Dependent's original publisher, Jolly Fish Press, was closing its doors.

They later followed up by an announcement, stating that they weren't really closing, but instead were being purchased by North Star Editions.

As can be imagined, it was a relatively turbulent time for other JFP authors, as information was limited, and their writing dreams were pinned on some shaky ground. I'm happy for those who stayed the course and have moved with JFP to the new publisher, but many of my writing friends had their rights reverted, and are moving on either by seeking a new publisher for their stories, or by self publishing. 

I was one of the lucky ones, as I had already moved on, receiving my rights back in the spring. Dependent is no longer available as a JFP title. As I began the process of publishing Dependent under my teeny-tiny press, Fortunate Frog Fiction, I was saddened to see others dealing with the same issues, only not by choice. As their new editions become available over the next few months, I'll be promoting them whole-heartedly here on the blog and on my other social media channels!

Regardless, the time has come to announce that Dependent will be re-released BEFORE CHRISTMAS. 

I'm in the process of finalizing the cover and formatting, and hope to be ready to upload as early as next week!

I will be revealing my cover in the next week or so, so stay tuned. Things are moving fast! 

If you haven't read Dependent, please consider purchasing the new edition, either in ebook or paperback format. It brings up some very real issues.

Now, more than ever.

Women should not have to fear men in power.
