The End of an Epic Saga Aproaches! The End of an Epic Saga Aproaches! By Megan Cutler | August 22, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment I hit publish on my first novel (Island of Lost Forevers) in 2014. We were living in England at the time, and I had no real idea what I was doing. I just knew that I wanted to be an author and I finally had a book I felt was worth sharing with the world. … Read More Read More
Introducing Unity – Book 5 in the Celestial Serenade! Introducing Unity – Book 5 in the Celestial Serenade! By Megan Cutler | June 20, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment You’d think it would get easier to write these release announcements. In truth, it gets harder and harder to talk about a series without revealing spoilers. As excited as I am to share this story with the world, I don’t want to inadvertently ruin anything for the people who have waited months to learn what … Read More Read More
Freebie Mondays: The Evolution of Symphony of the Stars Freebie Mondays: The Evolution of Symphony of the Stars By Megan Cutler | April 25, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment I’ve been taking a look at the various iterations of my published novels to see how they change between drafts. I started by looking at Dreamers Do Lie which, because I took a significant break in between the first and second drafts, has a few less versions to look at. The Celestial Serenade, on the … Read More Read More
The War for Freedom is Now Available! The War for Freedom is Now Available! By Megan Cutler | April 18, 2022 | Comments 1 comment The penultimate chapter in the Eternity’s Empire saga is finally here! I started writing this story to fill the space between other, larger projects. So there was a part of me that never expected to get this far. I certainly didn’t know how the story was going to end when I started it. (And the … Read More Read More
An Aruvalia Chronicles Project Update An Aruvalia Chronicles Project Update By Megan Cutler | April 11, 2022 | Comments 2 comments Time is a slippery thing these days. It feels like every time I blink, a couple months slide through my fingers before I notice. That means some of my regular updates have fallen by the wayside, though that was never my intention. For example, I haven’t written a proper Aruvalia Chronicles update since March of … Read More Read More
Make Your OTP (One True Pairing)! Make Your OTP (One True Pairing)! By Megan Cutler | March 21, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment I put my first book each year out in February. This year, I hoped to coordinate that release with Valentine’s day. (Sadly, it didn’t work out. I needed an extra week to polish the book properly.) But I had already come up with a cute idea for a Valentine’s themed stream to promote the new … Read More Read More
Freebie Mondays: Symphony of the Stars Deleted Scenes Freebie Mondays: Symphony of the Stars Deleted Scenes By Megan Cutler | February 28, 2022 | Comments 0 Comment A few weeks ago I shared a look at some older drafts of Dreamers Do Lie. It’s interesting to see just how much a story changes during the writing process. One thing I hear writers talk about a lot is deleted content. I keep separate draft files for all of my manuscripts in case I … Read More Read More
Introducing Duality – Book 4 in the Celestial Serenade! Introducing Duality – Book 4 in the Celestial Serenade! By Megan Cutler | February 21, 2022 | Comments 2 comments Every time I’ve tried to write a standalone novel, it grows a sequel mid-way through the first draft. Not that I’m complaining. I’ve always been a fan of fantasy and sci-fi series – my bookshelves can attest to that. I just never anticipated I would write anything longer than one book or, maybe, three. Of … Read More Read More
Freebie Mondays: the Phases of Dreamers Do Lie Freebie Mondays: the Phases of Dreamers Do Lie By Megan Cutler | January 31, 2022 | Comments 2 comments I decided to do something interesting (and a tiny bit dangerous). I opened an old draft of one of my novels and used Word’s comparison feature to examine how much it changed. For those that aren’t familiar with this particular feature, it essentially highlights in red every change made between the different versions of the … Read More Read More
The Old Year’s Triumphs and the New Year’s Goals The Old Year’s Triumphs and the New Year’s Goals By Megan Cutler | January 3, 2022 | Comments 3 comments I’m sure I’m not the only person who hoped 2021 would be a little easier than 2020. In retrospect, it really wasn’t. At least not here in British Columbia. A hot, dry spring allowed wild fires to ravage much of the province during the equally hot summer. And in the wake of the first round … Read More Read More
