My Brethren Peeps–

It’s been TOO damn long since I’ve come around here and blogged anything. And partly that was by design. (Partly it was due to laziness.) (Also partly due to starting a new business with my husband, an Argentinian food truck!) (Also partly…ok, nevermind, just kidding now!)

But I’m back, and this year of our Lord, TwentySevenTeen, is about to be Oh-My-God-Ridiculous. Not just because of the political happenings, not because our likes on social media can actually be analyzed to predict our personalities, not even because there are hired scientists out there researching how to fool our brains into thinking starch mush is real avocado

No, primarily 2017 is off the chain because it’s the year I get to see all that writing I did in 2016 become a freaking reality.

(Not QUITE as cool as the guac/starch mush thing, though, sadly.)

2016 was NUTS, y’all. I’m talking salted almonds and un-shelled cashews NUTS. I started ghostwriting professionally AND I finished three novels of my own. 2016 was the year I saw myself become a primetime writer. A legit, doing-this-because-it’s-my-job-and-passion AUTHOR. And that feels freaking awesome, ya know? Because I’ve been wanting this shit since I was nine years old, basically.

Anyway, there’s still a lot left to discover about ol’ girl Ember Leigh’s releases for 2017…but the first one is officially on DECK. My bounty hunter tale, the cherished story I rehabbed from obscurity because the original draft was written when I was 17 and *god* are those always bad, will be releasing on March 17th, 2017.

Sound like a pretty fantastic date, I should add! 3-17-17. If that isn’t blessed by the gods, I don’t know what is.

So, stay tuned. I’ll be updating more, because I remembered I had a blog, and because I found out the guacamole I’ve been eating is actually chemically-engineered mush. (Just kidding–I make my own. Unless my avocados are impostors, too…?)

If my author life were the Chinese Zodiac, 2016 would have been the year of the Hibernating Introvert, hiding in her cave crafting various tales and adventures…

…and 2017 is the year of the Exploding Paperback.

Or something.
