hi everyone! it’s been a long time so i hope all of you are doing well! a while ago (months ago), i unpublished The Witching Hour and it’s sequel The Haunting Hour in favor of replacing it with a story idea that had been bouncing around my head at the time. 
          
          i graduated college last month and i’ve had time to thing about my new story while rereading my original draft of TWH and THH. so, here’s the gag: i couldn’t get the plot to move forward in the new story, but i can move it forward (in a more cohesive way) in TWH. 
          
          i think i was too ambitious in my original plan: create an intricate universe, make it a trilogy, have a million and a half characters, have a big lore reveal in the second book, etc. etc. now, three years removed from the first draft, i’ve read more books (especially more fantasy) and can appreciate the beauty of a single plot with a single goal within a single book. 
          
          so that’s what i’m going to do. i’m pleased to announce that i will be republishing The Witching Hour and updating *at least* once a week until it’s complete. my goal is to finish at the end of the summer and, hey, if it turns out to have a sequel, i’ll write that too. 
          
          thank you to everyone who’s stuck through this journey with me and thank you to anyone who’s just starting here. 
          
          love,
          cleo
