Weekly Newsletter 162: Sept 13

Published on 13 September 2025 at 00:01

The One with Too Much...

     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.


This month's banner feature's Kalista and myself sitting under a tree in the middle of an autumn forest.

I have my laptop on my lap desk and Kalista is showing me something on her phone, which you can barely see in her left hand...


Author's Life:

      This week was too busy. Mechanic bill was a lot more expensive than anticipated, I haven't stayed home a single day this week, and I’m in need of a “no leaving the house” week where I can just write and not think about anything else.


The work Life:

Writing:

     A DANGEROUS GAME(ADG) was at 74,457 to 74,800 words. Yes, I only wrote 343 words for that project as I was very busy with outside the house stuff, but I also put another 1,751 words into COOKIES & RAGE while editing and wrote 2,475 words of a short story of Odin and Freya. This is the lowest word count of the year…

      Total word count for the week: 4,569 words


Editing:

     Maxine was still on Chunk 1 of DEADLY SIRENS. 🙃

     I finished reading COOKIES & RAGE to Matt Sunday, adding in edits, and added the Cast, Dictionary, and so on, then formatted it. I also ordered the proof copy and it came in yesterday. Besides the pages being white, it looks awesome, and next month I’ll be doing the red pen edits.


Publishing:

     Beta Reading for DEADLY SIRENS has slowed! There were only 2 surveys turned in for chunk 2 as of last night… so, I’ve not dropped chunk 3 yet… 


Preorder: An Angel Falls

    Preorder for AN ANGEL FALLS is still going, though I can no longer guarantee release day delivery. You can find all the info, plus where to preorder the eBooks by clicking here!

    I am also looking for ARC readers too! If you do not have to read book 1-5 to read this one, but if you want to you can.

     No new orders again this week 🙃. Still nothing for the other sites either, or the ko-fi sale. Marketing is hard when you’re stressed and depressed.


the 555 Sale has begun!

Ending in 2 weeks!

     ONLY 2 more weeks to take advantage of this sale! If you haven’t already read the Kalista Chronicles books 1-5, there’s only one more week to get all 5 eBooks for only $5 (that’s 66% off) here on my website in eBook format! SEND IT TO YOUR FRIENDS!

    Wanna save even more? If you go over to Ko-Fi, you can get all 6–Yes, this includes the Pre-order–for only $6 in the EXCLUSIVE 666 sale. 😉

(you have my permission to copy and paste the promos all over my website and socials for that purpose)


Art Feature:

      Alright, another week where I only created one picture because I was so busy outside of the house. This isn’t for the Born Angel Universe, but it’s kinda adorable. This is Jynna Jakkor, my Star Wars RPG character for the new campaign with the Wednesday Morning Australian Crew.

    Jynna is a minor Jedi though living in the time where the Empire is in control of the galaxy, she doesn’t show her force abilities or talk about the force with anyone. She keeps her head down and plays the aloof stranger who is above reproach until the inquisitors come snooping around and she heads for the next planet.
