Now I have to correct myself about Where Witches Hunt

Rachel Carrington — Sun, 16 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

In my last blog post, I said the changes to Where Witches Hunt, my no spice romantasy novel releasing in October, would not be substantial. Boy, was I wrong. The second half of the book is getting an entire rewrite.

When I began working on the book again, I noticed something that didn't make sense. A part of the plot. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. I have no idea how it was missed before. This book has gone through several rounds of edits, and there was a HUGE, dangling plot thread that was not tied up. So, in order to neatly tie all the loose ends, I'm having to rewrite close to 40,000 words. Some of the text I can keep, but characters are being removed, magic is being deleted and replaced with even more magic, and the list goes on.

On the plus side, this gives my two main characters more time to spend together as their relationship grows. So there's that! I'm still on track for an October 30th release. I hope.

The release date for Where Witches Hunt has now been delayed to October 30th!

My no spice romantasy, Where Witches Hunt, is still available for pre-order, but the book won't be received until October 30th. For those of you who want to know why I received some feedback from advance reviewers and beta readers that I feel I need to pay attention to. So I'm making some changes to the book. They won't be substantial changes but enough to provide some clarification so readers feel they know the world a little better.

I'm so thankful for reviewers and readers who help authors like me put out the best book they can!

Writers, if you want more information on the publishing business, I've got you covered~

Rachel Carrington — Thu, 5 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

For those of you who don't know, I spent over twenty years running a publishing company. Now, I'm putting that knowledge to use in a series of mini-books designed to demystify the publishing process. I'm writing these under my real name to differentiate them from fiction. These books will be 5,000 words or less (if they need to be longer, I'll notate on that book or divide it into two parts), making them easy reads.I'll be covering everything from your questions about submissions to the royalty process and everything in between. By the time you've finished reading these books, you'll have a clear indication of what to expect from a small publisher (although some larger publishers will answer the questions the same way) and whether you want to indie-publishi instead.

The first mini-book is already available.
