From the car taking longer to fix on Monday (making it more expensive) to helping Mom get most of her “craft room” upstairs, since Dad is going to be sleeping and such downstairs for a few months. Which has left little time for writing, destress, and other relaxing things.

Cookies & Rage is rated NC-17 for vulgar language, drinking, depictions of war, battle gore, suicide (not of the main character), patricide, and inappropriate comments, along with past trauma such as kidnapping, abuse, near death experiences, and killing. 

     With everything that happened last week. I needed to isolate, recoup, and focus on the books, which is exactly what I did from Monday to Friday between panicking… or stressing about life. Betas are loving Deadly Sirens and Dad’s doing better-ish.

    This week was worse for writing than last week as there was more going on. I didn’t get much time to sit down and get words in. Between packing for our road trip to Michigan for my husband’s grandma’s viewing and funeral, then my dad falling off a roof, it made for a lot of socializing and not a lot of down time.

       The word for this week is Stressful. There was a lot of ups and downs in a short amount of time and next week is going to be busy.

       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.
