//Book Release// Unearthed - St. Croix Falls #3

 Happy Tuesday everyone! 

Unearthed is finally out today! 

I wrote the first book in this trilogy last year during VBS week at my church. It was a super busy week for me. I was helping watch the little ones and was up early every morning and didn't get home till 4 in the evening. Pretty much it was like working a regular job for a week straight and I realized... I am not a fan of regular jobs or being gone from home for the entire day and not getting home till 4. But during that week and the week after that I wrote Wayward. I wanted to test myself by writing Wayward, to see if I could write a marketable good old fashioned YA paranormal romance. Turned out I could. The first draft of Wayward was super clean and I got it published within a month or two of writing it. It was the first book of mine I had published that got actual attention. People were sharing the cover reveal and congratulating me on release day. People actually knew a little about the book before it was published and people were actually reading it and buying it! It was really affirming and I'll forever be grateful to Wayward for that experience. 

Then there's Cursed... the cursed sequel to Wayward haha That book was so hard to write and was even harder to edit and revise! I told a friend I cursed it by calling it Cursed. But eventually that one got released to and then it was time to write the final installment... Turned out Unearthed was even more cursed than Cursed was. Unearthed has probably been one of the hardest books I've ever written. A lot had changed since I write Wayward and Cursed. I had changed, what I want in my writing had changed. Mia was one place and I was another place and I had to find a way to bridge the gap and meet her in the middle. Honestly, the story just didn't speak to me the way it used to. None of the characters did. But I was still determined to finish this trilogy and to put everything I had into these characters. They would get a strong finish no matter what. 

I feel like I did succeed in that. Mia and Rhett, Angie and Kai and everyone else in St. Croix Falls got a strong finish and a happy ending in Unearthed. I'm really proud of how it turned out and I'm really proud of myself for sticking to the story and finishing it. I've come so far since writing and publishing Weapon Icean. My writing is stronger, my patience and determination is stronger. 

The St. Croix Falls series is the first trilogy I've ever written and ever published. It even has a 2.5 book in there that I wrote earlier this year! I never would have thought I'd ever write a novella for a series. I'd always wanted to, but it never presented itself... until Defiant. I'm just so thankful for all the experiences writing this series has given me. I've grown and learned more about myself through writing this series. This series gave me a lot of confidence in myself as a writer through writing and publishing it. I feel like I started taking myself seriously as an author while writing this series and I'm so thankful for that. 

Anyways, I guess what I'm saying is, I'm beyond excited to have finished and published the final book in the St. Croix Falls trilogy! I'm thrilled to have Unearthed out in the world and hope you enjoy the end of Mia and Rhett's story as much as I did!
