Remember When…

High school tends to be a mixed bag. Some of us look back on those years with fondness, others try to forget it as much as possible.

These days, I fall somewhere between the two. I’d never go back and relive that time, but I can glance over my shoulder now and pick out the best parts. And it’s those parts I hang onto, the memories that shine the brightest and bring a small sense of wistfulness the present often lacks.

Closing Out October…

10.31.2017 by Starla Huchton // Leave a Comment

It’s become apparent I’m really bad at keeping up with the blogging thing. How is it already Halloween???

There’s always new things popping up for me, so if you’re not already following me on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, that’s the best way to get the news as it happens. :)

Anyway, so what am I up to these days? Well, a few things. Fun things, of course!

#TeaserTuesday Cover Reveal: Cursed Hearts!

It’s about that time again. One month from now, on November 1st, 2016, the second book in the Hearts of Valentia saga drops! I was all set to share a teaser on social media today, but it occurred to me I haven’t shown anyone the cover yet. Seeing as we’re so close to release day, I should probably remedy that, eh? :) [Read more…]

Cover Reveal: Dust in the Desert

04.22.2016 by Starla Huchton // 1 Comment

SAHFantasySo this went out to my email newsletter subscribers on Wednesday evening, and now it’s time to tell the rest of the world!

As you know from my last post, Dust in the Desert is a retelling of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp, and I talked a bit about the issues I had with it already. So here’s my question:

Wherein I Mess With History

02.19.2016 by Starla Huchton // 1 Comment

So, here we are in 2016 already. Last year was a bit of a blur for me, with days flying by as fast as pages being rifled in a book. It went by so quickly, I didn’t get much of a chance to take a breath and plan my release schedule for this year until very recently.

Rather than prattle on about that, however, today I’m writing to let you know that I’ve sneaky-ninja-dropped a brand new book on Amazon! No big fuss this time. I simply finished, edited, and shoved it out the door. Marketing? What’s that? Pfft. :P

The Evolution of a Book Cover

05.04.2015 by Starla Huchton // 7 Comments

One great thing about being an indie author is flexibility when it comes to a book cover, and the ability to change it fast when a problem comes up. Today, I’m going to show you the cover for my next release, but I’m also going to show you some of the less tidy bumps in the road I hit on the way to the finished product. I thought folks might like an inside look at this process, and I promise it’ll be faster for you than it was for me. ;)

The State of Starla: 2015 Release Schedule

03.27.2015 by Starla Huchton // 2 Comments

Well, I have to say that it’s been quite the busy year so far, and we’re not even four months into 2015 yet. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about different projects of mine, so I figured I’d go ahead and answer everything all at once in one big post. Here is all the book news from me for the remainder of 2015!
