I did the list of what I have to do this year and already feel overwhelmed, won’t lie. I have to get Quest out this year, but I won’t push to have it out for the book events. People don’t tend to buy the second book unless they are already a fan, so I willContinueContinue reading “2026 is already stressful”

Last post for the year
Hello everyone, It’s not been a good December. There were two colossal disasters that hit the house, and a few other issues. I’m waiting to hear from a beta reader, so there’s nothing really to report on the Quest front. I am planning to drop at least a teaser for the cover in January. PopContinueContinue reading “Last post for the year”
It’s almost Christmas time….
Well, it’s almost December. I am behind on Quest because of losing my car to a deer. Everyone is fine, even the stupid deer, but not my car. Another financial burden my family did not need. I hope at least by the end of next week to be done with the first round of editsContinueContinue reading “It’s almost Christmas time….”
Darkest before the Dawn
I have had a long and gut retching week. My best friend passed away suddenly last week. She was pregnant, and the baby boy passed away as well. I am drowning in grief. It came out of nowhere. I am trying to hold on to the unwavering faith that she had, to work through theContinueContinue reading “Darkest before the Dawn”

At about 2:30 pm, I will read the prologue from Destiny, so ifContinueContinue reading “Applfest!!!”
Golden
Well, sort of. I was more on the sunburned side, but everything went pretty well at the Oil City Festival of the Book. Sold 3 copies of Destiny, which is on par with what I sold last year (though that was 3 copies of Never Alone). It did not seem as busy as last year,ContinueContinue reading “Golden”
This month just keeps getting worse
It’s been a month since Destiny came out, and my paperback is still not available. I am becoming increasing furious with this self-publishing company. It keeps claiming errors with the files that are impossible because there were only two changes made, and the errors they are claiming are impossible. I do not know what IContinueContinue reading “This month just keeps getting worse”
Welp.
Hey everyone, I have not gotten a single thing done writing-wise. More medical issues popped up, that’s lead to of course financial problems. To say I am overwhelmed is putting it mildly. I might get some stuff done tomorrow, but with Thanksgiving next week…. yeah. The frustration I have I can’t put into words thatContinueContinue reading “Welp.”
