I’m still trying to recharge from the social interaction of Book Bash, and it hasn’t really worked. The new WIP is going well enough, but I’m drained still, which isn’t helping anything. I need two weeks of no social interactions.

       I was hoping I’d have better news, but I really shouldn’t be surprised. This is the way everything has gone for me throughout my author career, so why should this be any different? This may get depressing, you’ve been warned, and some of you, those who follow me on TikTok or BSKY, already know some of this.

       It’s Book Bash Day! But for this newsletter, you get the lead up, the preparation, if you will, for the big day as I'll be leaving at 9:30 am (EST) for the New Leaf Event Center. So, read on McDuff!

    Discord's Nightmare is rated M for Mature and contains violence, drinking, smoking, drugs, gore, vulgar language, nudity, sex, rekindled romance, polyamory, pansexual main character, and talk of past traumas including sexual abuse, spousal abuse, drugs, and more.

       Congrats, you’ve completed week 16 of 2026! It’s been a long, weird week for me, and I had to take some downtime away from everyone to recharge for a bit, but then got right back to the grind.

      DEADLY SIRENS is now available EVERYWHERE! The rest of the week… It was long and full of having to people then recover from peopling with art and video games. Read on McDuff!

       Welcome to April! We’re now 14 weeks through the year, which is just over ¼ through the year. This week was spent editing, making art, and doing some much needed spring cleaning. (side note: Happy Easter to those who celebrate.)

The final for this series arch!

       For the last week of March, we have All the book things! I finished one, got in a proof copy of another, a shipment of Deadly Sirens pre orders arrived, AND I’m editing another one with hopes to finish it this coming week! 

      I’ve had to make an executive decision this week, and if you follow me on social media you already know, but if you don’t, as Matt would say, “read on, McDuff!” (which I’ve just been told is sort of a quote from Macbeth.)

      Double the word count that is. 😉 I’ve got a lot done this week, even though I didn’t feel like I did because I hadn’t sat down to actually process what I’d done. Now that I have, for this newsletter... It feels a bit unreal.

      Another new book, because the last one stalled due to being worried about Matt, and this one is being perpetuated by Lilah, as it is about her favorite character.
