A Note from the Author

Hey, everyone! R.J. here! First off, I'd love to send a shout-out to my Facebook and blog followers for helping me with Carla and Rocco's super names<3 Hypersonic Rainbow was a group effort, but Nightstep was suggested by Fred Bright! And yes, I know Hypersonic Rainbow is a ridiculous mouthful--I'm hoping she shortens it when she's older, if only because it takes so long to type.

And now for the  news! The next book I'll be putting out will be The Advent Calendar from last Christmas. It was originally posted on my blog in December. For the most part it'll be fluffy stories about how the kids celebrate Christmas. I plan to add a few short stories about the adults before publishing it. After that we'll be returning to the official story line with book fifteen, tentatively starring Keliah.

I've also started a web serial story with Cheyanne Young (my book cover artist and a great YA superhero genre writer in her own right^^) It takes place in the year 3001 and follows the stories of two very different girls in the same world.  We update twice a week, on Mondays for me and Thursdays for her. You can check it out at newcapestory.wordpress.com

And one last little thing. Thanks to your wonderful support, I am now officially a small company! That means I get all the cool things like Social Security and Medicare set up for the future^^ It's called Book Candy Publishing, and consists of... well, me. I don't know if I'll ever be confident enough to publish other authors (somehow I doubt it), but it's still pretty cool!

Now, what does this mean for you? The only change that you'll see is the name and maybe a logo stuck in the books, and possibly a blog url change, so don't worry! I'll continue operating in the same manner as I have so far, and inform you when my blog's been moved!

~About the Cover Designer~

Cheyanne is a native Texan with a fear of cold weather and a coffee addiction that probably needs an intervention. She loves books, sarcasm, nail polish and paid holidays. She lives near the beach with her family, one spoiled rotten puppy and a cat that is plotting to take over the world, one scratched up welcome mat at a time. A recent day-job quitter, Cheyanne can be found furiously typing on her computer, probably complaining on Twitter about how she should be writing. When she’s not honing her procrastination skills, she’s writing books for teenagers. She is the author of several books for teens and recently turned her love of superheroes and writing for teens into books about teenage superheroes.
