Progress is slowly, but surely being made on the second #Assassins book! This plus edit deadlines for #IslandOfExiles is why I haven’t been online much (at all) recently. But I’m still alive! Promise! And also working on three very fun books that I’ll get to share with you within the next year!
Which reminds me: you should absolutely sign up for my newsletter if you aren’t already getting it. Covers, blurbs, and events are all coming in the next six months! ? http://byericacameron.com/wp/newsletter/

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that in the summer of 2015 I was fortunate enough to sell two series to two publishers, both of which I am thrilled to be working with. Today I have news to share about one of those upcoming series!
I cannot wait to post all the details about this series, guys. Storms, swords, magic, secrets. It’s a world that has been building in my head for over a decade in bits and pieces. I absolutely adore it, and my wonderful editor Kate Brauning has helped me make the story so much deeper and more than I could on my own. In a few months I might get to share a cover, too! EEK!
Check back here for information as I get it/am allowed to share! 😀
Look! New writing corner! For Christmas, my mom got me a fantastic stand-up/sit-down desk and now I have this amazing writing nook in my room. I’m in love. ???

I am asexual. It’s a fact of my life now, but it’s one I didn’t discover until I was 29 and trying to recover from an emotionally abusive and manipulative marriage.
I grew up in a liberal, diverse city in South Florida and the available spectrum of sexual orientations was always pretty clear: gay, bisexual, or straight. I could be attracted to anyone of any gender, and that was okay—it was something I knew both in theory and from watching my childhood best friend try to figure out her own sexuality as we grew up.
No one ever mentioned that being attracted to no one was an acceptable option.
Parents, teachers, and even friends told me over the years not to look for too much external validation. Or, at least to avoid letting that validation impact my self-worth. Sometimes, though, something has to be verified, labeled, and categorized by someone who isn’t in my head for my experiences and emotions to feel real and acceptable. That is especially true when the word I was looking for to describe myself didn’t exist in my vocabulary. Not outside the context of the short section in my freshman biology class about the asexual reproduction of amoebas, anyway.
It’s why I vacillate between the urge to laugh and cry when someone questions the need for diversity in books. I was a voracious reader as a child. How different would my life have been if I’d known at 9 or 19 what I discovered at 29 about the sexual identity spectrum? I won’t ever know the answer to that question, but I will try my hardest to be the voice that tells teen readers what I never heard. What I would absolutely love is for my asexual spectrum characters to provide the “Oh my god, that sounds like me” moment for at least one person. Not going to lie; it’s kind of a life goal.
