First endorsement for HERITAGE

Mar 27, 2014 19:10

When I was a kid, my mom had one rule for Christmas morning: wait until AT LEAST 6:00 am before waking up the house. Anticipation woke me around 515, 530 every year. Minutes oozed into seconds, dragging out like chewing game stretched between teeth and fingers. As the minute-hand crawled along, I remember happiness swelling up in my chest, building and building until I practically shook with excitement.

I still feel that excitement today, and not only on Christmas. I feel it when a day's writing is going REALLY well; when I receive an acceptance letter from a publisher; and when someone gets something that I wrote. I mean really gets it, CONNECTS with it.

I received my first endorsement for HERITAGE (young adult fantasy novel due out this summer from Tyche Books), and I feel like my chest might explode. And that's a good thing, in this instance and ONLY this instance! For your reading pleasure:

"HERITAGE is a fast-moving fantasy about coming of age, and battling evil, and, yes, family heritage. Told with strength and humor, it shows the reader engaging characters in a rich setting, in a story that grips and then races along--and it all rings true. This is the beginning of the saga of Aidan Gairden, and it’s a winner." -Ed Greenwood, creator of The Forgotten Realms® and New York Times bestselling author of Spellfire, The Herald, and many others.

Thank you to one of my favorite authors, Ed Greenwood, for such praise. I'm humbled and SUPER STOKED.

writing, heritage
