I am just so excited about my prequel. I love this story so much. I don’t know what it is.

Maybe it’s recognizing how I’ve grown as a writer over the course of writing and getting feedback from editors on the original trilogy that came first.

Maybe it’s the fun I’m having joining old characters again. The gang’s all back!

Maybe it’s the fact that it’s a redemption story. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write a redemption story. Not just a subplot or character arc. The main story. I have always been a sucker for a good redemption story. I LOVE them.

Maybe it’s just that I love whatever my current WIP happens to be. I don’t know.

But I am really digging this prequel. It’s . . . different from the rest of my books. While also meshing with them. Every time I get to the end of the book, I get chills. Actual chills. And it just sticks with me.

It’s definitely not perfect. No story or book is. But it sits with me. It is powerful. It is what I had hoped it would be, and more. And it’s shining more and more with each editing pass before I send it to my beta reader and editor!
