I had my gallbladder out this week! Still recovering, but already feeling so much better. It's also given me a chance to get caught up on my reading. First up, @charlottestein.bsky.social how to Help a Hungry Werewolf.

My steampunk series is back out in the world for general consumption! Guided Hearts was my first 'big" publishing contract and I love the blend of romance mixed with Jack the Ripper mystery. Both books are on Amazon and currently on KU. #Romancelandia

Exhausted but was able to get some great shots of the lunar eclipse last night! I need to do some processing, but I'm really happy with how they turned it.
Photo of the lunar eclipse (the blood moon). The moon is red in color, and the sky is very dark with very few stars. Photo of the lunar eclipse, the blood moon. The Moon is very high in the sky, and red in color. There is a house in the lower corner that is showing only the peak of the roof.

Good morning! I'm about halfway done editing a side project that's smutty and sappy and I love it. The world has been overwhelming recently, and this is the only thing I can currently do to help.

Also, heres a picture I took the other day that I love.

I managed to get my Christmas tree done yesterday after going to the gym. I was nearly done with the frilly stuff when I physically ran out of steam. Thankfully, hubby was there to help finish.

On a different note, I have new retail covers for Tik Tok Boom, which is releasing early next year. This is different from the Kickstarter cover I'd been showing off recently.

I love it!

I'm thrilled my Tik Tok Boom Kickstarter is going well. Rom-coms aren't known for big followings there, so I'm excited my little campaign is chugging along as well as it is. We've reached the 1st stretch goal and I'm hoping we can reach the next.
