I recently realized that the last time I sent any sort of update was five days before A Soul as Cold as Frost was launched. So, I'm shooting you a message to let you know all that's happened since then, and what's coming, and boy oh boy.

Funny Story
Well, friends, it's happening. I've dragged myself through parts of this process, and I've skipped like a giddy schoolgirl through other parts, but I'm so close to having everything ready that I can practically taste all the wintery flavours I've jam-packed into this book.
