It’s Release Day!
By T.R.Q.T / February 20, 2026 / 4 Comments / Books, Writing
The long, winding journey is over, and we’ve made it to release day! I have several announcements to make … I’m just having some difficulty because my cat Wallace keeps putting a paw on the touchpad of my laptop and making me type in the wrong places.
(my sisters thought he deserved a place in the acknowledgements page for his dedication and support, but he doesn’t want that much recognition)
Anyway …
WE HAVE A GIVEAWAY WINNER
Congratulations, Journey! I’m so excited to ship out your prize!

I’M NOW A GOODREADS AUTHOR
This means you can rate and review Voice of the Ashes on my Goodreads page, send me questions, and see what other readers are saying.
(Please note that the cover has not yet been updated on Goodreads, but will be in the near future)
I’M GOING TO BE HOSTED ON OTHER BLOGS
Stay tuned for updates on author interviews, book spotlights, and other fun posts.
It’s tempting to think of February 20th as the birthday of Voice of the Ashes. But it was birthed nearly ten years ago in a now-faded notebook with now-smudged pencil.
Today is really its graduation, its time to go out and change the world.
By God’s grace.
If you want a tiny glimpse of those years from birth to graduation, check out my post Excerpts From a Writer’s Journal.
Thanks for being here and celebrating with me!
