Weekly Newsletter 188: March 14

Published on 14 March 2026 at 00:02

Seeing Double..

      Double the word count that is. 😉 I’ve got a lot done this week, even though I didn’t feel like I did because I hadn’t sat down to actually process what I’d done. Now that I have, for this newsletter... It feels a bit unreal.


The October Header described below the picture

here we have Max and his shadow, Astrid. showcasing their height differences. 


Author's Life:

    Another week of writing, editing, posting, and art as I try not to panic about ordering books a little late, and getting anxious about Book Bash 2026. I haven’t done anything nonwork related this week.  


Editor Update:

     Matt is home! He arrived home Thursday afternoon and he’s feeling a lot better than he has in awhile, besides the ache pain of the incisions and we’re all very happy to have him back! 


The work Life:

Writing:

     Been writing like I’m running out of time, and was hoping to have FATED TO DIE finished before Matt got home. I didn’t quite do it, BUT I did more than double the word count from last week. This book is full of adorable moments, hot scenes between Badb and her soulmate, and trauma from both sides. This weeks word count went from 24,308 to 62,583, which means I beat out my highest word count for the week. 😅 Plus I added all the words for the edits of Angel Enraged as well...

Total word count for the week: 41,801 words


Editing:

       I’ve Finished edits for AN ANGEL ENRAGED. Now I get to reupload it and get a fresh print for Dad. Matt and I also got back to reading FATED ANGEL and are now on Chapter 22, only 12 chapters to go, including the Epilogue.


Publishing:

✨Beta Reading Continues!✨

     Beta Reading for COOKIES & RAGE is so close to done!

     The Root App betas are doing amazing even with work and other life issues. I’ve had 7 surveys turned in for chunk 1 (some people were a bit busy or sick still, so didn’t get to read/fill out a survey), 5 for chunk 2, and 5 for chunk 3, and 3 for chunk 4 already. Only one more week left!

     They’re still loving it, and I am enjoying their responses to the survey. 💗


🌙 Deadly Sirens Pre-order🌙


📚Reserving books for the Convention📚

     If anyone plans to come see me at the convention, I will have a limited supply of books (all paperback) and I have a form/item in my shop where you can pre-order/reserve books. Also, if you're coming and want Hardcover books, that is available on there until the 25th of March so I can have time to get the hardcovers in before the convention. Click the bar below to go there!

     If you're on facebook, You can check out the BookBash Facebook page. I'm not on facebook, so I don't have/can't see all the info, but I'll be there.


March, e-Book sale:

    Because the car is fixed, I don't need the money for that, but I do still want to raise funds to help with convention things, so I'm keeping this sale open until the end of the month. So, All eBook Bundles are on sale 50% off. Get all 6 of the Created Angel Books or all 6 of the Kalista Chronicles for only $8.99. Get all 12 for only $14.99 USD! 


Art Feature:

     I’ve been working on more Art for FATED TO DIE this week, and I’m not sure how much I want to show off, but here is something NOT for the book but a contest simply titled “Melting Winter Beauty” on one of my art sites. I got this image stuck in my head so had fun with it.

    Art feature Badb, the Born Angel of Death in her mortal form and her restored form meshed together.


    The melting winter beauty scene snow melts to springtime flowers as Badb's skin warms.
