I have been up to a lot of things since I have posted last time. I took a break when I got the giant proof copy of Arcadian Divinity in June, getting away from it for a bit before focusing back on it in July. Arcadian Divinity is 100 chapters, so it is a lot to go through. Currently, I am on Chapter 60, so I still have a while to go. I plan on having the novel out by the beginning of 2024.

I also have a third standalone novel in the works! I have been writing and rewriting it since I first got the idea in my head, ever since I was 16. I originally had the idea in my head in high school, so I have been working on it for an incredibly long time! I currently have 16 chapters done that are in order, and plan on that novel also being out by 2024. This one though, would be released later that year.

I’m trying hard to work on both of them, and I know that Arcadian Divinity will be out early next year, but I’m not sure about the other novel. I plan on it being out by late 2024. Plans could change though, but I will try.

If everything goes smoothly, I will have two books published in 2024!

I already got the front cover art for the new novel, but I’ll wait a little while before I show it, the title, and the description.

I will be posting again very soon!

A while back I was checking out the newer book/reading tracker website known as Storygraph. I was interested in it and found out about the website through a few Youtube videos that I had found and followed. So, I checked it out a bit, and realized that I could add Ethereal Imprints to their collection. A few days ago, I was looking at the Storygraph website again, and I saw they had the book listed. The book was listed, but it didn’t have the cover. I changed that 🙂 I was able to upload the book cover, as well as get the description put in.

Ethereal Imprints is officially on Storygraph now! If anyone checks out the website, just go to www.thestorygraph.com.

It is free, but it does have a login and password that is needed. It also has an option to upgrade if anyone wanted to get more out of the website.

I hope everyone has a great day and I will be posting again very soon!

Good morning! I know I haven’t posted anything since February, so I will give an update on what has been going on. I unfortunately will have to work harder on getting Arcadian Divinity ready and set to be published. It is a large book, it has a lot of words to go through, and there has been a lot of issues when it came to editing. I would rather get the novel as perfect as possible instead of publishing it and realizing that it has errors in it. I do not exactly know when the novel will be published now, but I’m aiming for the end of 2023, to the beginning of 2024. I will keep everyone updated on the progress.

I have been working on many projects since I have written my last post, so I just wanted to give an update.

 I contacted the cover design company so that the cover for Ethereal Imprints could be changed a little. The novel is book one of a series, so I wanted the front of the book to reflect that. It has been changed and is now on Amazon. It is also on the Barnes&Noble website, but only in paperback. I am mainly using Amazon to sell the novel, but it can still be purchased on B&N.

Arcadian Divinity is completely written, but I realized that it needed a few more self-edits before I send it to the editor. I will plan on giving the novel to the editor by this month, and then to the design company either in March or April to format the book. After that, I will look over it one last time before putting it on Amazon!  That is the plan that I have for that novel, but things may change, so I will keep updating.

Now that I am completely done writing Arcadian Divinity, and am in the process of publishing it, I am currently writing the sequel to Ethereal Imprints. I have written about sixteen chapters so far, and by the end of it, I plan on it being bigger than Ethereal Imprints. There is going to be a lot more characters, and have a lot more going on than in the previous book.

I just wanted to keep everyone updated! I will be writing another post very soon!

I hope everyone had a great New Year! It’s crazy to think that it is 2023! I hope you all will be working on their New Year’s resolutions. 😊

I have realized that I never really introduced myself when I first started my author blog! So, I wanted to change that. I have Arcadian Divinity releasing this year, while Ethereal Imprints came out in May of 2022. I also have many other novels in the works!

My name is Elizabeth Wittekind, and I reside in North Carolina. I have always loved entertainment in general, from the time I was a child. From Disney movies when I was little, to Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings when I was older, I have always been drawn to imaginative genres. I have always had a creative side, and I feel like my creativity has gotten better as I have gotten older.

 My imagination began when I was small. I clearly remember elementary school. The teacher would have various creative writing prompts that would begin a scenario that would end with a ‘what happens next?’ vibe to them. It would be my job to write a story based on the prompt. I always loved those assignments. I will always remember a writing prompt from 4^th grade. It was a prompt that started with ‘What is behind a big, red curtain?’ I came up with the story, and then afterward all the students had to read what we came up with to the class. I wrote a story about how there was a big tunnel and a little tunnel behind the curtain, and behind that was a T-Rex! I don’t remember the grade that I got on the assignment, but it was entertaining for the rest of my class to hear! 😊 I was around nine to ten years old at the time and had just gotten into Jurassic Park and Lord of the Rings.

Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park… I typically gravitate toward genres that sound out of the ordinary, and maybe a little bit peculiar. 😊

I have always enjoyed entertainment and being creative. I think creativity is now just a part of who I am. I think my imagination is what made me want to become an author, since I had, and still have, a bunch of different ideas in my head. I began writing when I was sixteen, but didn’t really think about becoming a published author until 2020, after I wrote Ethereal Imprints.  I am working on several other novels, all in various stages, and will be releasing them over the next few years!

I hope you all have enjoyed this blog post and have a great start to 2023! I will be writing again very soon!
