Hey, everyone!
I just wanted to update everyone on Wicked Love since I do read the reader reviews on B&N, and there have been a lot of you who can't wait for the next Weeping Willow installment. I am happy with all the positive reactions to the short stories and the novel.
Wicked Love is coming along. I have already written about 35,000 words in the past month and a half which was half of my projected word count for this project. I will definitely have to increase that word count. I am fast approaching the halfway point of the book. My editor has read the first third and enjoyed it.
Contrary to what people think, Wicked Love will not be the end of the series. There will be at least another book or two left in this series. I have to make sure Willow and Nalin travel to all the realms at least once.
You won't have to wait so long for the next one. I plan to start writing it as soon as Wicked Love is done. I just got the idea for the plot of the next book, so I would love to continue writing about these two characters and hope you guys continue reading.
Thanks!

Ginger Program
Hi, everyone.
I wanted to share with you a new find on the internet. I have an amazing friend who helps me edit my work, but there are always things which escape the human eyes. I noticed some small errors in the Wicked Magic manuscript so I was looking for a grammar program online. I found Ginger. Ginger is free if you download the basic edition. So, what is Ginger?
Ginger is a typing program which focuses on grammar errors and highlights them, offering a suggested change. The program is super simple. You just open it and start typing. Or copy and paste. You can write a little or a lot. It can also be downloaded as a phone app, making it easier to make grammatically correct online posts. I would recommend it for those writing blog posts down to writing essays for school. Of course, nothing is fool proof, and some of the suggestions given to me were things I did not agree with, but it was worth it for what it did catch. I love that it highlights things which I can look up grammar rules for late.
I used Ginger to look over the Wicked Magic manuscript and found a few minor flaws. What I love is that it gave me options for phases which sounded correct but could be better said. The updated manuscript has been uploaded to Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Smashwords. Other bookstores will get the uploaded manuscript in the next few weeks. Barnes and Noble told me that if you archive the book, and then when you un-archive it, wait for it to download. It should download the new version. If it doesn't redownload with the green bar, do it again. For Amazon, the same thing should do the trick. For Smashwords, it is a simple download of the newest book version.
