I have a story to share about this writing process.

Honestly, I’m surprised it’s unfolded this quickly. I’ve only been working on this new book for about a month.

Writing Hush, Child was a fluid experience. I didn’t write it in chronological order. I wrote the stories that felt ready, the ones that wanted to be told, and later they were woven together. It followed a topical framework rather than a linear one.

This new book feels different.
