Taking A Break
At the end of GUARDIAN, LABYRINTH and TRAITOR, I included a "look out for the next installment" page, along with the cover of the next story. I haven't done that this time. Why? Because I don't know when the next one will be ready! This year has been really busy so far with teaching and writing and publishing, and now I have to plan a wedding (yes, engaged 3 months ago, getting married in 4,5 months time, and we've done pretty much NO planning yet!). So I'm taking a bit of a writing break. Well, I'll still be writing, but without fixed (self-imposed) deadlines hanging over my head. I've already got parts of the next few installments written, but I don't know exactly when they'll be finished for everyone else to read.
I look forward to being less stressed out and interacting with all you guys online more :-)
Counting Words
If you're interested, here are the word counts for the first four stories already out. MASQUERADE took me a few more words than expected ;-)
GUARDIAN: 13,700 words
LABYRINTH: 18,000 words
TRAITOR: 15,200 words
MASQUERADE: 24,700 words
A Thank You
And thank you to everyone who downloaded and spread the word on Wednesday when GUARDIAN and LABYRINTH were free. It was a great way to end off my time with KDP Select :-)

Congrats, Rachel!
I am so happy your book has aired and for wedding plans...
Glad to see you are taking the "time" for life's greatest moment.
Congratulations, Rachel! :D
Hooray! Can't wait to read it! And good on you for taking a break. You can write any time, you only get married once! :-)
Congratulations on both launching MASQUERADE out into the world and on your upcoming wedding! :) That's very exciting!
MASQUERADE is my absolute favorite of the bunch so far. You did a fantastic job, and I'm of course looking forward to the next novelette. Whenever that may be, it'll be worth the wait.
Enjoy your time off! :)
Take as long as you need. You have consistently released your novellas with impeccable timing. We don't mind you taking a break and congrats on your books success.
Congratulations! :)
Great news Rachel! I look forward to reading it and it will be nice to have you around more!
Congratulations on everything! I need to catch up on the series! I'll be purchasing Guardian and Labyrinth soon.
Totally understand you taking a break. Stress is a horrible thing and it's always amazing getting out from under its hold. Myself though? Right now I need to put a little more stress on the writing.
Hope your wedding is splendid. :)
Dude, I so have to catch up!!! ARGH!
