I remember a year ago thinking this day may never come. A lot of writers have doubts, at the beginning and decades into their career, and I suffered from them as well. A year ago, I was still working on getting Book 3 (REUNITED) ready publication and wondering how and when I was going to wrap up the whole series. I had plans for the last book but they all felt so nebulous. They were a scattering of notes and ideas but nothing truly formed enough to give me the confidence to finish. I was doubtful but still ready to conquer the end of this series.
When I finished the first draft, I knew I had something good. It was hard getting to the end of the book, but once I wrote it, I was certain I was on the right path. It's funny that the words are often stuck between my brain and my fingers and they don't always know how to come out! But I coaxed them onto the page and brought to life a whole world full of problems and possibilities.
I had a few good reasons for finishing this series and the main one was to give a reward the audience that trusted in me when I was nobody (I'm still pretty small fry but I know I have readers now!) Those that took a chance on Sanaa and Jiro are getting their ending now! And I really hope you enjoy it. If you haven't purchased RECLAIMED yet, you can do so now! It's available today! (Links below)…
As a little bonus, I'm adding a video here about Kyūdō, the Japanese art of archery. This is one of the new skills Sanaa learns in this book and I only scratch the surface of this beautiful art form and discipline. If you're interested in learning more, this video is a great place to start.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me and this series for the past two years. I especially want to thank my ARC team for reading and reviewing. You're the best! Stay Awesome!
Happy release day!
It must be a great feeling finishing your first series! I think it’s very important to eventually end a series. I know a few authors who started series and then took a break or never seem to come back to writing and it’s very frustrating for the reader as well as it feels like we’re left hanging.
Sounds like it was a difficult book to write at times, but I am glad you ended the series how you did and I can’t wait to hear more about your new sci-fi series!
I definitely wanted to end the series and not leave readers hanging! I hate when that happens to me too as a reader, so I figured I would act on what I know :)
I’m excited to start a new scifi series! I have lots of ideas of how this one is going to come about, but I want to go in with a good game plan. Will be plotting over the summer.
