A new chapter begins…
Hello everyone! Sasha here!
If you’ve been following my journey on social media, you probably know by now that my greatest lifelong dream is to become a published author.
Well (thanks to your support), I am ELATED to finally share that I officially signed a two-book contract with Disney Hyperion!!!!
Can you hear me screaming?
My debut novel, The Ruins Beneath Us, is officially available for preorder now and will be hitting shelves on February 24. It’s a young adult romantic fantasy about an elf named Lyria who is raised in isolation until the day that she inadvertently rescues the human prince. This book is packed with all of my favorite elements: a slow-burn enemies to lovers arc, a love triangle, lots of action, and plot twists that will (hopefully!) make your jaw drop.
This photo was snapped about 10 minutes after Rick Riordan (author of Percy Jackson and one of my personal heroes) shook my hand and wished me good luck with my book. My inner thirteen year old self was fighting for her LIFE to not dissolve into a sobbing puddle of goo.
Moving forward, I’m hoping to use this blog as a space to share updates and behind-the-scenes from my author journey, including information about events, Q&A about the book, and all the other info that I think is too meaty to stick onto social media.
If you have a request, I’d LOVE to hear from you (sashaesloannewsletter@gmail.com!) and if you want to support my journey, I’d love if you would:
and
Isn’t my firstborn child BEAUTIFUL?!! The cover reveal is coming soon and I promise you, it’s the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen!
If you’ve made it this far, THANK YOU! I am so freaking grateful for every single human who has tracked and cheered on my journey from afar. Every like, comment, share and post means the WORLD to me, and I read absolutely everything.
Now, BUCKLE UP because I have a feeling we are in for a crazy ride!
XOXO,
Sasha
