I’m finished with chapter 28 (which is currently the last chapter). I rewrote the entire thing. I can’t talk about it too much, but there is something so compelling about it compared to the original version that I’m dying to tell you what it is. I have to wait until I publish it to talk about it and that’s killing me. (Is it any consolation that I’m being tortured too, so it’s fair?) This is SAFE & SOUND by TAYLOR SWIFT & THE CIVIL WARS (Yes, this is from The Hunger Games, but it’s so beautiful that I had to post it.) <--Love The Hunger Games series, BTW. Love Every. Single. Word. I’m adding a chapter 29 to Incendiary. It’ll be short, maybe 2000 or 3000 words, but I had this really great idea that is so crazy and will leave you going, “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” (In a good way!) So yeah, I’M FREAKING EXCITED! I want to be done this week—meaning finished writing and sending it to the publisher. I’m making it the only priority in my life. WATCH FOR ANOTHER NEW POST THIS WEEK BECAUSE I WILL BE FREAKING OUT WHEN I’M DONE!!! Here are some other interesting developments. I’ve been creating playlists of songs for each character on Spotify. You can also see it on my Facebook timeline. You have to friend me on Facebook, though, or you can join Spotify and find me there. http://www.facebook.com/amyabartol I’d love for you to check it out because you guys always have such great suggestions for songs and I want to hear them. You can post your song picks here too if it’s more convenient. Here's a song from Evie's playlist just to get a taste. It's called BLACK SHEEP by METRIC. Another thing I want to tell you all is that I’ve reconsidered my position on Smashwords. I’m going to publish Indebted and Incendiary on Smashwords and then have them put them on B&N and Apple and Kobo as well as others. I’ll probably publish Indebted there as soon as I send Incendiary to the publisher—I’ll have time to work on it then. ALSO, I have a book signing coming up on September 1st & 2nd. It’s the Decatur Book Festival near Atlanta Georgia. I’ll be in Booth 532D near the food court. If you’re in the area, I’d love to see you! Come and hang out with Georgia Cates, Heather Self, and me. I’ll be in the booth right next to Shelly Crane (I know, I love her, too). My official book birthday for Inescapable is coming up August 29th. It’ll be a year old! I’m not really sure what I’m going to do to celebrate—any suggestions?

I wish that I could publish it that soon but it will will take 2-3 months to release it once I send it to the publisher. Sorry!! But, yes, I'm planning to write a 5th book! Are you excited for your freshman year?!!!

I am so excited! I will be checking daily to find out if your done! I have loved this series. The storyline completely sucked me in. I have to tell you, I was totally Team Russell until about the middle of Indebted. Now I really am starting to like Reed. But I like Brennus a lot too! I am so excited to see what happens and to read about the new characters! Thanks for keeping us updated!

OMG(i am not a "OMG" girl)!!!!! I just found out that both my favorite authors are coming to GA! I am so excited! I love your books like crazy. You are an amazing beyond belief author. I have been reading these since the first book came out and the wait for them was probably worse then waiting for The Hunger Games books. I am so excited for a 5th book(minus the wait). I just can't get over this. You rock. Your books rock. Evie rocks. I really hope i can go!

As many others have admitted to stalking your website, I must admit I am in that group. TWO/THREE months??? The anxiety is going to raise my blood pressure for sure! I'm beyond THRILLED for book 5. I've told several people about the series and am even trying to get my hubby (a sports addict who hasn't read a book since I've known him (5 years)) to start!

I just finished Indebted today and i tried to go slow... but i whipped right through it like i did the other two. I couldn't help myself, i was enthralled with Brennus. Why did he get to me?? Oh well. I can't wait for the next! I didn't know what to expect when i started reading these books, but i have been extremely and pleasantly surprised! I love all the characters, especially Evie. Im finishing my last semester in college so my treat to myself will be re-reading all of them and goin on to incendiary in december. Im very excited! Thanks for giving me something awesome to look forward to.

I had been looking for an angel romance supernatural book that could captivate me for sooooo long and once I read the first book I knew i found the one! I finished reading all first 3 books in a meer 3 days..how is that possible? Lets just say sleep became nonexistent and coffee my bestfriend.. but it was the most amazing 72 hours of my life. I laughed, i screamed, I sobbed( yes like a child), i even fell in love over and over again not with just Reed,but with Russell and then amazingly even Brennus. YOU ARE AN AMAZING ETHEREAL ANGELIC WRITER!! please continue to take my sleep take the coffee if you have too as long as you continue your magic!!

I am not a Twilight fan- in fact I can't stand the books. I am not a 50 Shades of Grey fan. I don't necessarily get into a lot of the young adult romance novels (I will admit I like The Hunger Games though). I usually hate supernatural themes as well, but I love these books! Once I read them I wondered if there really is such a thing as angel hierarchy and the like and after some googling I realized there is. Did you research at all for these books or already know of a lot of the things you wrote into the series? Perhaps since I am not a very religious person I did not know the intricacies of angelhood :] Anyway, I'm a fan!
