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.

      The Week of accomplished goals! It’s been a good week for writing, not so much for sales, but I’ve smashed 1 of 3 goals for the month!

    This book is rated M for Mature and contains violence, gore, patricide, vulgar language, sex (the kinky kind), drinking, death, nudity, pregnancy, and talk of past traumas including sexual abuse, spousal abuse, abandonment, drugs, non-consensual sex, manipulation, gas lighting, infertility, and emotional abuse.

      This week has been better, but also harder. A lot of issues with the secondhand smoke that I’m allergic too, because it’s everywhere nowadays, BUT I’m still chugging away at my books.

      The first full week of May kicked me in the teeth. 6 out of 7 days this week I’ve had some sort of chronic pain flare, then an anaphylactic reaction and my husband taking me to the ER Friday night… I’m not a fan of this issues. Life’s shenanigans needs to stop.

APRIL IS OVER!

      This week has been a downhill plummet. It started out well, and energetic, then our pup got sick, the washer started leaking, and I’ve not been feeling well. BUT despite this, I wrote more than I did last week, just not as much as I wanted to, damn it.

      I’m getting back into the swing of things... mostly. The last few weeks have been hazy, painful, and honestly hard, but I’m back from burn out and publishing depression. Writing, Art, and good friends have pulled me out the other side (most without even knowing it).
