DEAR FRIENDS: Where We’ve Been & Where We’re Going

7 days until storm siren

Well, Preciouses.

SEVEN DAYS.

SEVEN. Until Storm Siren releases.

Which seems like a good time to grab your face, draw it real close, hug it tight, and tell you that WE have done this. You and me. Our happy little village.

If you’re reading this right now – then you’re a part of that village. THANK YOU for the support, for the laughter and encouraging words through all the years. And to you who have only recently joined the village? Thank you as well. Also? We make no apologies for our weirdness. ;0)

In light of the fact that most of us have been together for so long – I thought it’d be fun to go back and see where we’ve come from.

Um…nevermind – not THAT far back.

How about I just say that we have been playing around on this blog for over 4 YEARS. And you’ve been listening to me talk writing for over 6. They say it takes a village to raise a child, well…it takes a village to raise a book too.

So now here we are. Watching this weird baby get itself borned. 

And because there are so many random moments lately leading up to our book’s birth day – I thought I’d give you a few highlights so we can cheer our little village for where we’ve been and where this baby is going. ;0)

Here are a few nice things people are saying…

  1. “Weber builds a fascinating and believable fantasy world. Inventive and entertaining.” - via Kirkus Reviews 
  2. “[F]antasy readers will feel at home in Weber’s first novel . . .a detailed backdrop and large cast bring vividness to the story.” - via Publisher’s Weekly
  3.  “Readers will easily find themselves captivated. The breathtaking surprise ending is nothing short of horrific, promising even more dark and bizarre adventures to come in the Storm Siren trilogy.”- via RT Book Reviews, 4 stars

ANNNNND!!! A few weeks ago I posted about the amazing authors who endorsed Storm Siren – thank you, Jay Asher, Josephine Angelini, CJ Redwine, Shannon Messenger, Katherine Reay, and Lindsay Cummings!!! And then I got this sweet email from Marissa Meyer – who’d just read the book as well…and then agreed to blurb it. (If you know my adoration for Marissa, you’ll know how loud I was screaming.)
