This week was calm and relaxing. Gratefully so, since my body has been getting back to normal after last weeks procedure. BUT The BIG 555 SALE has begun! If you haven’t read or bought the Kalista Chronicles, and you like eBooks, check the announcements in the “Publishing” section, the home page of the website, or The links page. (plus a secret sale 🤫)

       This week was rather busy for this Indie Author. From the usual knee injection to Friday’s not normal procedure, it’s been a LONG week, and I’m happy to say I have absolutely nothing planned for this week, EXCEPT writing. Let’s jump into the busy week.  

     This week has been a bit busier outside the house with a mechanic trip to finally fix the AC, my aunt and her family up from Florida, and family gathering today. I did however get the preorder up and did a few thousand words in COOKIES & RAGE, the first of the Kaliling novels, which releases July of 2026. 😬

       More rest = more words! I’ve not only reached my word count goal for the month a week early, but I also finished AN ANGEL ENRAGED on Monday! What more did I do? Keep reading and find out!

       Another weirdly restful week, but this time, I didn’t have to go ANYWHERE! I got to stay home, write, game, and have a ball. It was a nice relaxing and restful again. I like this a lot.

       I finally got a truly restful week! It was so nice just to be home, and I only had one day out of the house besides errand day. I wrote many words into An Angel Enraged, I feel it’s coming to the climax right before the cliff’s edge.

       Well, I got to rest this week, though it wasn’t how I’d like. It seems that every time I think things will settle down, life throws me yet another curveball. This week, it was something medical.

       Resting, Recoup, and Writing are my words for this week. Things are settling down again, hopefully—fingers crossed—For now I’m working on books and the edits to An Angel Falls from beta readers.

      This week, I went on a road trip with my parents and grandparents for a funeral. Beta Reading of An Angel Falls is well underway. ALSO, THIS MARKS 150 WEEKLY NEWSLETTERS! So, we're going to celebrate. News about that at the end as a reward for slogging through this rather rambling update.

      Beta Reading of An Angel Falls has started, and signups for Beta Reading Deadly Sirens have started. Since that begins in the end of August. I also need a distraction from life as we’ve had some not-so-great family issues, so I’m grateful to have the betas reading again.

      It’s Omnibus release weekend, AND My 12th wedding anniversary tomorrow! The paperbacks are late, goals for June, and there was another amazon snafu with Deadly Sirens. 🙄I really think they should drop their printer in Cleveland. Those copies are 95% of the time messed up.

      I FINISHED THE RED PEN EDITS! Which means I completed my 2nd of 3 goals for the month. Sadly, I’m not going to reach the 3rd goal. 🥺 BUT there is a cover reveal for the next book, An Angel Falls at the end of this newsletter.
