So, I have some news. As pretty much everyone knows, I’ve battled chronic, clinical depression my whole life. And, as a voracious reader and now writer, I’ve always wanted to write one of my favorite kinds of books—an epic quest fantasy—where the heroine is somebody like me. Thanks to  Liz Pelletier and the wonderful team at Red Tower, I get to do that. Also, enormous thanks to my amazing agent, Kevan Lyon, who stuck by me through all the rough times. I am so happy and thrilled and grateful, and I can’t wait for all of you to meet Soli and her team as they travel through Altarra to save the world!
