Who am I? I am an author of fantasy and science fiction who goes by the name S.A. Thorup, although my friends call me Sarah :) I've been writing novels for about 13 years now, and have had many adventures in and out of my imagination. I self-publish on Lulu.com, although I hope to get with a traditional publisher.
These past few months have been a blur.
With a new baby, dates and days of the week have become less
important to me; I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
The weeks pass by quickly, and most Sundays I can't believe another
week has passed and our son has grown another week. However, it's
been a joy having him in our lives. There's nothing quite like
waking up to a baby's smile on a cold Fall morning.
I've also gotten back into my Pilates
Portable Studio workout. I started doing PPS soon after I graduated
high school, and I shed weight and got toned. I slacked off after we
got married and gained weight. However, during my pregnancy I
determined I wanted to get back into PPS, and once I got my 6-week
post-partum go-ahead from my OBGYN, I've been working out with it.
I've done it in conjunction with walking, and I'm already losing
weight; I've lost 15-16 lbs since I left the hospital. I'm also
getting toned, and I have more energy and greater self-esteem. I love it.

Recently I've been working on two main
projects: editing and revising Book II of The Legacy Incarnate:
Incarnate Dream, and writing another story I won't reveal the
title of quite yet. However, I will say it is a trilogy that occurs
over 1000 years after The Legend of Draconite. It explores
completely new characters and a new land, and will be a pretty gritty
story. It's been a challenge to write, but that challenge has made
it satisfying.
Speaking of The Legend of Draconite,
right now I have just Book 1 revised and ready for submission. I've
submitted it to a publisher but haven't heard back from them. I've
been debating re-releasing Book 1 on Lulu. What do you readers think
about that? Createspace on Amazon is another option I wouldn't mind
trying.
LOD Revisited hasn't been my main focus recently, although I did start the revision of Book 2. It may be some time before more news of Book 2 comes back.
A while back I had a conversation with fellow author W.A. Johnson about how cute a lupogryph plushie would be, and it got me thinking about doing a picture. It's not the most complicated thing I've done, but it was fun and short :)
Have a good evening, and I hope to hear from you soon!
