It's the 23rd of September and the sequel to The Forgotten is finally released!! You can get it free from Smashwords right now and from B&N and iBooks in a couple days. It's on amazon for $0.99 but if you report the lower price at B&N or Smashwords (please do this!) we should be up and running and $0.00 in a few days! If you've yet to read The Forgotten, you can find that for free in the same online retailers.
I don't have much to talk about this month, other than to say I'm gearing up for the release of Love In The Gilded Age (28/10) and very excited to finally behold The Wandering in print form. And as promised last month, here is a snippet of each of the main six in The Wandering. Some are from their POV, some are not. Enjoy.

Honour
I’ve
always believed what the Officials told me. I never questioned them, not even
once. I might have thought I did, but deep down I believed everything they said.
Horatia
Staring at a twisted chair, I think, I can’t tell Tia about what might have happened to her. She’s not a
carrier—The Guardians know that much—but States could have done God knows what
to her, made her into anything.
Branwell
I’d
like to feel clarity now. Well, what I really want is to be curled up in the
window seat in Bennet’s bedroom, her shoulder resting against mine, listening
eagerly to whatever cheap paperback I’d picked up that week. But since that’s
about as possible as growing wings and flying away from my loss, I’ll accept
being in this box room with two girls who are fast becoming my friends.
Bennet
I have no choice but to remain here, and I won’t waste the
rest of my life on moaning and melancholy. Not when this City has so much to
offer me.
Yosiah
It’d
be a lot easier if I could just let things lie, if I didn’t have to know the
truth. But I’ve never been like that. I never could just go along with something
without knowing the details and now that I have access to information about
Great Britain and the rest of the world, I want to know it all.
Miya
I’m there again—on the train. Another version of myself stands at Yosiah’s
side, her life falling apart when she sees the resolute expression on his face.
I’m somewhere in the crowd, watching myself. I don’t want to watch. I know what
will happen.
I have to stop it.
