Some Little Updates

Good morning, all!
This won't be a long blog post. Ember has made some progress but I'm not ready to share here. 
Mostly I have been doing a lot of thinking (which some people translate to be a lot of nothing, but thinking is a thing and it is an important thing). I have made some small steps forward with Ember lately, which I'd like to ask you all to pray for me about. I am getting to a place where, looking ahead, I can see that I will need to be more intentional in order to have options later. If you know me, you also know that I'm terrified of unknowns, and there are a lot of unknowns in how the publishing journey will unfold.
I've tweaked a few things on the blog recently. They are small changes, so maybe you won't notice them. "Subscribe to our mailing list" has changed to "Subscribe to the Ink Lizard Gazette." The reason for this is because I think this is more true to what it is, and, frankly, I thought the former sounded creeper. I also took out some clutter from the Menu page to tighten that up.
I am also considering moving towards a better balance between blogging and newsletters, meaning less blog posts, but more newsletters. In the end, it will even out and I won't be clogging up people's emails. I'm leaning more towards something quarterly. As usual, those of you who subscribe to the Ink Lizard Gazette will receive important information first, Ember fun facts, and always a photo of Jemma (because she's a star, didn't you know?). I already post on the blog at least twice a month or also quarterly on the blog.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this and if you like the idea or not. If not, please let me know why. (I dislike spam and multiple, useless emails that I don't have time to read, so if you honestly don't think you'd have time to read the newsletters, please let me know.) Or, if you've had experience in this arena and have advice to share, please me know. (Comment below, or PM me on Facebook.)

Cover Reveal for Wolf Prince

Hello reader and writer friends!
Today is a good day to share with you Claire Banschbach's cover for Wolf Prince!

I met Claire at Realm Makers, and I was intrigued by her novel idea. Even though I have yet to read any of her books, I'm looking forward to reading this one.
Claire M. Banschbach is a native West Texan. She discovered a deep and abiding love for fantasy and science fiction at a young age, prompting her to begin exploring worlds armed only with an overactive imagination and a pen. She's an overall dork, pizza addict, and fangirl. She enjoys meshing stories of family and faith with healthy doses of action and adventure. She talks to fictional characters more than she should while trying to find time for all their stories. 
She currently resides in Arlington, TX where she works as a Pediatric Physical Therapist.

The Wolf Prince will be released on August 21, 2018. EEK! So close!

Are you ready?

What a lovely cover! 

One prince. Two brothers. Three companions to prevent a sorcerer from destroying the faeries.

Prince Killian has always known he’s different. It’d be impossible to miss the whispers of an age-old family curse, to ignore the call of the wolves on his birthnight and the barely-veiled hostility from his people. His family insists there’s no curse. If only they were right.

When an evil sorcerer bent on destroying the faeries turns Killian into a wolf to use in his diabolical spell, Killian must rely on the help of his playboy brother, Lars, and Rose, an aspiring ranger they meet on the road, to escape the sorcerer and find the faeries who can turn him human again.

There’s only one problem. Faeries haven’t been seen in over 50 years.

Together Killian and his companions must overcome their differences and prejudices to defeat malevolent creatures along the road, evade the sorcerer and his minions, and find the faeries before the sorcerer can kill them all.
