Me: I'll work on the Emma retelling once Mistletoe Valley 3 is written.

Prince Reed of Majstro: *clears throat* So, let me tell you about that time I discovered that I am...

Me: Shhh, that's a secret.

Prince Reed: ... a mermaid.

Me: *sighs*

Day 2 of edits.

Right now I'm thankful it's a short story/novella sized story and not a full-sized novel.

While the great-niblings are still sleeping, may the edits begin.
June 16, 2025 at 1:07 PM
I'm happy to report that Mistletoe Valley 3 (a Jolee Mayes title) now has a completed rough draft.

I won't touch any writing projects this weekend. Time to work on my TBR pile.

Sometimes plotting mistakes happen.

Now that the newsletter has gone out and people have had time to read it, I can announce that my first solo book signing will happen next month
June 12, 2025 at 4:02 PM
Upgrades are happening.

Something has been scheduled.

Plans are ... planning.

Stay tuned for more details next week.

Today at the Tennessee Ren Faire I spotted the cutest baby dragons. (Made of concrete.) Of course I brought one home. (The one on the left edge that's cut off.)
May 11, 2025 at 1:09 AM
Tomorrow I'll be going to my first ever ren faire.

I know! The writer of the Enchanted Forest series has never been to one before?!? Well, I'll be remedying that tomorrow.

I finished the final touches of my outfit today.

Where's the Writing Updates?

Ummm. *bites lip like an overdone character trait*

I have something happening this Saturday I've been waiting months, nay years, to experience and have been working on my costume. Just when I have something figured out, it doesn't work out according to plan.

*grins*

Don't become so blinded by what you haven't done that you forget what you have done and accomplished.

I haven't put much effort into today's release day. Too much imposter syndrome showing it's ugly head.

But 🎉 it's Release Day! #booksky #booksky💙📚🌶

It all started at a gym.
A gym that he owned.

Sometimes it's time to plot.

My writing schedule is a jumbled mess. Can you spot what 2 books I'm working on?
April 12, 2025 at 5:48 PM
I've been delaying posting about anything because of my visibility being down.

But the last book in my pen name Jolee Mayes' Carter's Gym series is available for pre-order.

With Gym 3 (Samantha: Carter's Gym - Jolee Mayes title) being at the editors...

It's time to begin plotting the Mermaid Enchanted Forest stories

And finish Part 1 of Emma, of course.

I really did not need to read a book where the mom dies 2 weeks after my mom died.

No. I didn't see it coming from the blurb and didn't go to the author's website to check out the trigger warnings.

I made a mistake and didn't realize that Valentine's Day in Mistletoe Valley wasn't actually in KU. I have corrected the issue. Link to book in my linktree
