Hi friends,
Many of you saw theĀ "apology" videoĀ I posted from Dragon Steel over the weekend. That, of course, was done in jest, particularly since I was still riding my high fromĀ Brandon Sanderson stopping by my boothĀ to tell me how beautiful he thought my books were!š„ŗ
But today's apology is genuine and from the bottom of my heart. Due to many,Ā manyĀ unforeseen and time-sucking complexities of my rapidly-growing business, which take me, on average, around 12 hours a day to tackle (weekends included š), it is with an exceptionally heavy heart that I must announce the delayed release of Fire Opals and Family. In 7 years of publishing, IĀ haveĀ neverĀ missed a book deadline, so I'm taking this one particularly hard. But I also want to ensure you guys continue to get my greatest stories, told with the highest quality of writing, so it's a necessary heartbreak.
I will be delaying the release until theĀ end of February.Ā Those of you who have preordered on AmazonĀ will NOT lose your preorder; you'll simply be delivered the book at a later date.

I'm genuinely sorry for the delay as well as the lateness of my announcement. I think I wanted to convince myself an on-time release is possible when it simply is not.Ā
For now, you can of course still read the first book in the series, Amethysts & Alchemy (which also has a phenomenal audiobook by the amazing Lia Langola!).Ā
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your patience and understanding while I navigate this growing empire we've built together. I'm so excited for you to read Delaney's story and will be devoting every moment I can to it these next two months. Love you guys!!!
