“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

― L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

I love October. I love crisp fall days and sweater weather, and I love Halloween (and pumpkin-shaped Reese’s!).

This October has been particularly special. At the beginning of the month, I started my dream job as an associate editor at Marvel Comics! Then, I launched this website and announced my upcoming debut novel, THE WALL.

Life has been pretty much nonstop for me with all of this going on. When I’m not working, I’m writing newsletters and blog posts, keeping up my social media presence, contacting book bloggers and reviewers, and coordinating with my book designer. I’m also working with some wonderful illustrators to put together digital perks for my preorder campaign, which will be starting next month. I’m so excited for all of you to see what we’ve put together!

Am I sleeping? No! Who needs sleep?! But don’t worry, I plan to spend this weekend relaxing. I’m looking forward to eating copious amounts of candy, cuddling up on the couch with my cats, and watching scary movies — in costume, of course.

It’s been a wonderful, wild month. I’m always a little bit sad when October ends, but I can’t wait to see what November has in store. Stay tuned…
