The Journey of a Character

From the moment CJ Caldwell was born, I intended to tell his story. Just as he captured the hearts of my readers, he too captured mine. I wrote him to be the little boy I dreamed of having as a younger woman, before I was blessed with three beautiful girls. Writing him as a mischievous little boy was a highlight of the OG series, and writing him as he grows up has been bitter sweet.

Maybe, that's why it took so long for Reckless to come out. Perhaps, a part of me wasn't ready to let go of that child I grew to adore. Perhaps, I needed to see him as a teenager to ease into him as an adult.

Combine my personal reservations with family, health, and money issues, and I kept pushing the transition book back. 

But then, a miracle happened. A light at the end of the tunnel as I finally completed the last chapter. It took me three years, but at last, Reckless was finished. 

However, CJ's story was far from done, and what was supposed to be one book then two then three has become seven, with the fifth due releasing next week. 

Remorseless followed a similar path to Reckless. I had to push it back a few times, getting a year long ban from Amazon's preorder program as a result. Issues upon issues interfered with my thoughts, and when I finally got my head together, I had to complete a school assignment, bring someone to an appointment, or tend to my house. It drained me, and I feared that Remorseless would go down the path of Reckless, taking years to come out. 

Except this time, more was at stake. 

The stress had me wanting to curl up in bed and hide, and I considered announcing my retirement as releasing the book became less likely. But then, before I did anything drastic, I found motivation. Even with school, illness,  housework, and family obligations, I found the motivation to write. And before I knew it, I was on the last chapter, the light at the end of the tunnel shining brightly and seducing me to reach it. It was a surreal feeling, but one I cherished. 

So, it's with joy that I announce that Remorseless, the fifth book in the Death Dwellers Legacy series, is finished! Help me spread the word about it and become an ARC reader. Whether you love it, hate it, or find it meh, please leave a review on Amazon, Goodreads, Bookbub, or whatever platform you are on.

Best to you always.
