If you’re anything like me, you probably have other things going on outside of writing. Sad, right? 😊 Just kidding. We need balance, too. We can’t just live in our happy (or sometimes, not so happy) fictional worlds forever. Be it work, school, family, church – life – it all takes up time. And sometimes, balancing writing with the rest of your life can be difficult.

Well, it’s that time again – as you can tell from the title, this is an update on my writing endeavors. Last month, I officially released Unknown, which was so exciting but also quite tiring. It was definitely a dream come true, but I still have a lot to go in learning how to be an author. 🙂 I got that book submitted right before my college semester started, thank the Lord, so now I can focus mostly on school while still balancing writing alongside college.

When I first wrote the books in the Grace Sufficient series, I hadn’t really researched religious freedom or churches in Russia. Most of my research was directed toward the Soviet years, because I assumed there would be more restrictions during that time. Little did I know that religious liberty is being attacked this very day in Russia.

I’m terrible at naming things.
Characters, books, series titles … you name it. When I decided to publish Unknown, I knew I had to come up with a series title. And of course, I was at a complete loss.

Well, this story begins very long along, in a distant land … just kidding. It does seem like a very long time ago when I first started writing Unknown back in late 2018. I’d just come off of writing a trilogy of Civil War books (what I consider my first “real” and finished books.) For some reason, I decided I wanted a change of pace and chose to write something in a modern setting.
And then somehow, I decided to set it in Russia. And why’s that?

Welcome to the launch week for Unknown! I am so excited to share this story with all of you guys. This week’s blog posts will be all about the book, including signups if you’d like to read and review a free copy of it (coming tomorrow!) I’ll be talking about my inspiration and original ideas for Unknown, along with the reason behind the series name and all kinds of interesting extraneous – though hopefully interesting – information. 🙂 And of course, feel free to ask me any questions in the comments below … no spoilers, though. 🙂

As with any project in life, writing can be full of discouragements.
Well, I have a little story for you guys today, a story all about a writer who definitely experienced some of that discouragement in the long and tedious editing process.

At the present moment, Unknown is going through the final stages of editing. My wonderful editor/sister/amazing author finished it a few days ago (thank you a million times) and right now, my mom (known in some circles as the “Typo Queen”) is reading through it and combing for the many typos I so often include. (Thank you a million times, too!) So after the Typo Queen is done with her editing, I have one more time through the book, and then it’s off to the races.
