I have exciting news!

Last year, H.L. Burke opened up her superhero universe for other authors to write stories in, and I had the great privilege of getting my story Play Date accepted into that anthology.

My story revolved around a mom named Emilia trying to fit into a new town and make new friends, all while navigating the ins and outs of being married to a superhero and having children with emerging superpowers.

It was a fun story to write. I enjoyed getting to spend some time in the modern world with my writing, while also staying solidly in fantasy territory.

So when Heidi opened up a second round of submissions, I jumped at the chance to write another story in this world. It’s a bit of a sequel to my first story, but follows Emilia’s brother-in-law.

And it was accepted!

Whew! It’s been quite the week here in the Stormcave!

I generally don’t have two releases in the same week (okay, who got hold of the schedule?!) but I’ve been letting my inner chaos gremlin out a bit more lately (what is the point of being an indie author if you can’t have some fun with it?!) and so it’s actually not a bit surprising that these two releases would come so close together!

I have an exciting announcement!

I’m going to be published!

Yes, yes, I know that you know all about the Turrim Archive stuff.

But I’ve had a kind of secret project going on in the background this spring, and I am so excited to finally be able to shout about it!

You may remember that I’ve talked quite a bit about H.L. Burke’s books around here. Several of her stories have made it into my Favorite Fifteen Fantasy Reads for the past couple of years. And I am a major fan of her Superhero universe — called The SVR. It’s an awesome series of superhero books with all kinds of epic adventures and fun. If you enjoyed the older Marvel movies, like Iron Man 1 and Thor and the first Avengers movie… then you’ll probably love this world and series.
