What day is it? You might be wondering why is this post is so late, and yeah buddy, me too. As we’re all aware, pandemic-time is a fickle thing that confuses scientists around the world. I’m lucky Inalienable escaped this time warp and successfully reached orbit, so to speak. It’s out in the world and all is well!

Release Day Reflection (Two Days Late)

So now – Starstruck seven is out. I still can’t believe it.

It’s weird, releasing a book in a pandemic. I never imagined I would be releasing FOUR: Aix Marks the Spot, Earthstuck, Unbound (though I wasn’t alone for that one), and now Inalienable. It’s days like today I want to be with my family, with my friends, go to a restaurant or throw a little party – not pandemic friendly, sadly. Instead, I went to work, debugged some code. Someone accidentally called me Dr. Anderson in an email and it still has me beaming. I got home, couldn’t find a bakery that made layer cake, so I ordered a muffin – the delivery woman arrived on a bicycle with a cat on her shoulder. There’s magic in this would if you’re willing to see it.

Thank you to everyone who made this book happen. To Michelle Dunbar, Anna Johnstone, and Cayleigh Stickler – my fearless editing dream team. To my beta readers Cora Corrigall and Crystal DuVall who told me it didn’t suck exactly when I needed to hear it most. My fierce writing circle, Madeline Dyer, Emily Colin, Lisa Amowitz and Heidi Marie Ayarbe, who kept me showing up to the page every single day. To my parents, Apryl and Tim, to whom the book is dedicated, for being my rock when this pandemic cast me loose. And Hugo, of course, who has all my love.

And of course to you, the readers, who keep coming back for more. I’m thankful for all of you. Grateful I have you in my life, even if I don’t see you in person. I really hope you all enjoy the next installment of Sally, Zander, and Blayde’s adventure.

Now it’s time to thank all the blog tour hosts – and give you a tour of the tour!
