Celebrating With Cake

One of the ways we celebrate a book's birthday in our household is with cake!

In this case, it was chocolate and strawberry ice cream inside, since the cake was made by our local Baskin-Robbins. The illustration on top was printed on edible paper.

Fun, right?

It would've been wasteful to get two cakes this week, so I think we'll wait for the audiobook release to get one for Fate's Attendant.

Thankfully, the results so far have been worth celebrating. Eight 5: The Saint of Water has been a #1 Bestseller from almost the moment the page opened for pre-orders, and it's held that spot since.

As for Fate's Attendant, some readers have shared their reviews, and they are so nice. Truly warming this author's heart.

In other news, I'm about three-quarters through the first draft of the Fate's Attendant sequel. From the very beginning, the story has taken me from one unexpected direction to another. It's been a fun ride so far, and I can't wait to share it with you.

Thank you for your support. No story is complete without its readers!
