From getting things done with books to cleaning, fixing our dryer, and having the worst migraine I’ve had in months, possibly this entire year. Life was rough, but I was rougher. I feel accomplished but sore.

       19 days until the Anniversary Editions release! Crunch time is here and oof, this week wasn’t kind to me. I also remembered that Indie Author Day (& Book Fair) is next Saturday… and I have half a table I get to peddle my books at. Social Anxiety is screaming now, but hopefully, it’ll all work out.

This Week, I'm deviating from my normal newsletter and giving you a short story that takes place between The Kalista Chronicles: An Angel Falls (Book 6), which released last year, and An Angel Enraged, which released today!

      Editing takes a long time when you decided to pick apart sentences, phrasing, grammar, and making a book better than it was the first time around… Even though the first time was good. Also, Next week’s going to be a little different here on the Newsletter: Scroll on to learn more!

       I’ve been Hella busy with preparations for the Anniversary Rerelease of the original trilogy, and I can’t believe a week has already flown by!

       This year marks the 5th Anniversary of the release of my debut novel, A Born Angel, and I’ve decided, in all my infinite wisdom, to release an anniversary edition! Read on to find out why, what's different, and the goodies there will be!

       If you know, you know. 😉 But! After the absolute shit storm of September, I’m glad to report that October is being much nicer to me… I still have pain, brain fog, trouble concentrating, and someone keeps making time fly, but I have good news about my ankle, sales, AND betas too!

       I finished my antibiotic on Thursday, had some mild nausea, and a migraine after it wore off, which activated the “Curse of the Klutz”, and this time, it got me good. 😭

       It wasn’t a bug, and I managed to get some stuff done, but it’s been an uphill battle to do even the smallest things, and don’t get me started on any kind of social interaction. 😣

       This week, I spiked a low-grade fever twice, have had no energy, concentration, or much brain power. My body has been so sore, and I have no real explanation other than I must’ve caught a bug thanks to my husband's coworkers. It's so fun having a compromised Immune System. 🙄

       And it came in kicking, screaming, and making me wish I could crawl into my writer cave, do nothing but write, edit, and not be on social media or be around people until New Year’s. But I can’t because it’s my job, so here I am, posting my newsletter again…

      This isn’t an unusual thing, cars break when you run them and our Santa Fe has had more than a few problems, in it's 200,000 miles. But I’ve been more stressed since it broke Wednesday, so productivity went from “maybe I can make up for the high pain days Monday/Tuesday” to “Not a snowballs chance in Hell.”
