Dear fans,
I have failed you. First I said I would publish Blood in the Paint toward the end of 2013. Then I said I would publish sometime in the Winter of 2013/14, but probably in February. Then I said it would be March, specifically March 19th. But today is March 19th, and Blood in the Paint still isn’t ready. I’m sorry, but seeing as how the first official day of spring is March 21st, I’m gonna miss that winter deadline.
I could offer a lot of excuses (editing took longer than I would have liked, my proofreader didn’t work out, my computer started to die and Hubby-pants had to buy a new one), but it really comes down to my own stubbornness. I need to allow more time for my beta team, my editor, my proofreader, and my formatter to do their jobs thoroughly. I need to allow more time for life to happen, just in case. I need to allow more time for my obsessive, inevitable tweaking. Sigh.
For those looking for an apology, this is it. For those looking for an update, Blood in the Paint was just shipped off to the formatter. I hope to have it uploaded to Amazon before the end of the month (I almost said ‘before the end of the week’ but I remembered to allow time for life to happen).
In the meantime, I’m sending out the ARCs and the excerpts. Check your inboxes.
And thank you for sticking with me while I work hard to make Blood in the Paint the cleanest manuscript it could be.

Hey! No pressure! We all know what it’s like. It’ll happen when it happens. And wonderful shall be the moment it does. 🙂
Aww, thank you so much
Best of luck with it, Jordanna. And life happens – we all know that!
Thanks. Sometimes I just wish life would go sit down some damn where. Haha
You’re not the only one, Hon. But it shows you’re keen and that you love what you do. No need to apologise for that. 😉
We’ll all be here at the end salivating so chin up. Besides, this just means that anticipation has time to reach fever pitch!
It’ll be ready when it’s ready 🙂
