I want to put "Best book hangover ever" as a blurb on the back cover.
It's so gratifying to have people finding peace and satisfaction in these books, and leaving happy.
Sticking the landing is tough.

That's a sign I stuck the landing.
One of the great fears of releasing the final book in a series is tripping at the finish line. Early reports are that the ending is devastating in the right way.

If the escapism of the novels isn't enough, consider relenting to the siren song of late-stage capitalism and purchase the official Avalon Academy screaming pillow. Express all of your feelings into this plush accessory. Absorbs both sound and tears.

Oh man. Did not expect that level of feels. I was all like, sure I guess people like unboxing videos. I'll make one for hashtag marketing. Then I opened the damn thing and lost all my words and got kind of molten on the insides.

When I started, eight years ago, I couldn't imagine what Stealing from Wizards would become. It was a brain worm I needed to get out on paper. Four books later, the series is wrapping up and I couldn't be prouder of it.

I can't describe what it's like to have the whole series in print. Such satisfaction, a bit of relief, some nerves and excitement about release day...

If other authors want to weigh in with their pre-publication purgatory stories I'd love to hear them. a bit of camaraderie in this trying time would be lovely.

The greatest joy I get from my books is the letters I get, the young fans being unable to manage their excitement about the next book, the fanfic I refuse to read, and when a teacher paints my words on her wall.

"Write what you know" means the platonic ideal of a writer — a young man alone in a tiny apartment with a typewriter whose only friends are coffee and cigarettes — is a myth. To write well you need to experience life and meet people.
