Selected Record: Of Oracles and Sirens Status Report These last couple weeks have been a flurry of activity! I've been switching between writing on the first draft of my second book, getting marketing posts out, and approving line edits for 'Of Oracles and Sirens'.

Its been an eventful day! I received the analysis of my 2nd draft from my editor a day early, much to my delight! They stated my revisions were spot on and rounded out the story perfectly, and also pointed out a few small continuity issues they had spotted. After fixing these, they recommend I move on to line and copy editing! I dove into making those revisions immediately, and with everything wrapped up the manuscript is now officially story-locked! This means the only chang
