And breathe…
The last time I updated my blog, I was feeling rather pleased with myself. Annika Dash 2 was well on the way to being delivered.
That was October 2024, and I’d just wrapped up Draft 2.
Since then, I’ve delivered Draft 3 (which I thought was ready for publication)
That was May 2025. But trying to align my time with that of my lovely illustrator proved… well, impossible.
With things caught in limbo, I fell into a trap many writers know all too well: rereading what I’d written. GASP. And so began the spiral.
I now have Draft 20*… Don’t ask. I said, don’t ask. Oh, alright—I did a line-by-line review of the manuscript. How long could that take? Again, don’t ask.
A few weeks ago, I revisited everything I’d learned about self-publishing on KDP. That led me to my calendar. Imagine my surprise when I saw the date… September 2025. SEPTEMBER 2025!
I know. Breathe.
What can I say other than this: Annika Dash 2—or more precisely, Annika Dash: The Dark Side of the Moon—is ready. And I think you’ll find it was worth the wait (even if I say so myself).
Available on Amazon from 4th October 2025.
(Pre-release copies available direct from me, 26th September.)
