I feel like I have not updated here in a while, and I have so much news! First, the BAD news: Between the pandemic, my day job, and the general chaos of life in 2020 thus far, the release of Crushed., BOOK 3 in the SPOOKED. series, is being delayed to December 2020. I know this is disappointing to some of you, and believe me, I am disappointed, too. But the truth is, finding the time and space -- both in the literal and emotional sense -- to work on this book has been difficult. As fans, I hope you understand and will continue to support me despite this delay. I have been trying to figure out if I could still make my original release date of September 15, and as much as I want to, I have accepted that the book you will get is going to be of better quality if I delay this release. So that is what I am going to do.

Now, FOR THE GOOD NEWS! Due to the changing requirements of my job, which is fully remote, and the various and sundry impacts of having both myself and my husband working full-time remote for the foreseeable future, we have invested in some local office space here in Saint Helens! Yes, that's right, folks. I now have a special, separate, quiet space to focus on my writing and moving forward with the SPOOKED. series as well as several other books I am working on. I only started getting the office set up in the last 10-12 days, but we already have a tea kettle and internet, so you know we are making progress! That progress has resulted in me getting back to working hard on Crushed., and the simple of act of getting back to my characters is bringing me a singular joy. I am so excited to bring you all this third installment of the series, and I will be working as hard as I can between now and December to bring you this story.

MORE GOOD NEWS!: I am officially resurrecting this blog! Yes, I will occasionally post updates about writing and my process. If this is something that interests you, you can subscribe to the RSS feed on the blog, or just follow along here! Additionally, for those who have signed up for the SPOOKED. series mailing list (which you can do at the bottom of this page: http://www.spookedseries.com/contact-diana-rosengard), you will be getting updates specifically related to SPOOKED. books and giveaways sent directly to your inbox.

So that's my news for now! Again, thank you for understanding about the delay, and I look forward to bringing you more of Callie and Izzy's adventures soon. For now, keep watching this space for more info and ongoing updates!

A truly wondrous and amazing thing. My first novel is moving along on it's journey toward publication. And on that journey we have just taken a monumental step.

SPOOKED., my debut New Adult novel, has....

A COVER.

Yes, my dears, the moment has finally arrived. This book, SPOOKED., which I have been working on for almost five years, has taken a huge step closer to publication.

It has a cover.

Look at it! Doesn't it make you want to cry!?! (Okay, probably not, because you haven't read it yet, much less lived with this story for years.) I do. I look at it and I see a tiny dream, a dream held so secret and deep within me it took me much of my adult life to realize I even had it, taking a huge step closer to coming true.

*fawns over cover some more*

Yes, it has a cover. And with that cover comes something just as important: a release time line.

SPOOKED. will be out in just a few months, ya'll! MONTHS!

Even as I type the words, I don't truly believe it.

For everyone who reads my various blogs and article, thank you for being on this journey with me. And if you're sitting there right now, thinking, "wow, I did not even know she had a book," I invite you to check out SPOOKED. at spookedseries.com for additional information on the series and the world of SPOOKED.

Now if you'll excuse me, I am so excited I think I need to have a bit of a lay down.

Until we meet again, dear reader, thanks for being here.

News, news, news!

SPOOKED. cover reveal!
