It's finally here! Today is the day you can officially get your copy of The City of Arches! I am so excited, and I am so proud of the work I put into this book. I think that if I had to choose one of the books to be my favourite, it would be this one. I am so happy with how the cover came out.
And I can't say how greatful I am to my friend Ryan for his help in steering me to the right people like Sage in helping me nail down the character of Learsi. One of the aspects of her character is that she's deaf. For me, representation is important. It matters. I wanted Learsi's deafness to be importnat to who she was as a character, and I also wanted to do my best to get it right. So, as I said in the Acknowledgements in the back of the book, all mistakes were mine and mine alone.
One of the things I also wanted to accomplish with this book was the possibility of giving back. For Brian and I, we believe very strongly in helping our community, and for the past six years, that community has included the Sunnybrook Hospital High Risk Pregnancy Unit, and the Neonatal Follow Up Clinic. So, on February 21, 2017, I will be hosting a book launch/funraiser for the Sunnybrook Hospital. Tickets are now available here. It will be an evening of food, fun, and a chance to win great prizes. Furthermore, everyone in attendance will get a signed copy of The City of Arches.
In other news, you may have noticed that a number of things on my website have been renamed. This was a choice made by myself and my publisher. The Hadariah Chronicles is now known as The Dybbuk Scrolls, and each book in the trilogy has a new title. I am thrilled by the new direction of this piece of work, and I can say here that I have seen the new cover of the first book, now called The Song of Hadariah, and I am so happy with how it looks. We have a cohesive plan with the rest of the series to give all three books a uniform look and feel, and I can not wait to show it to everyone!
In a related matter, all the Sitnalta books have a new vibe as well for many of the same reasons. Behold! The new and improved Sitnalta Series!
