This year has been so very challenging. My focus for the rest of this year will be on family and the house, but I'm hoping to get back to writing, editing and publishing in the spring.

I'm transitioning from writing serial content to publishing books, but while I need to edit and tweak and improve, my Life has hit me with the power of a tsunami since Halloween.

I'm hoping to get back to editing this next week.

Also scrambling to clean.

Every month I do a little better. I'm raising money to pay an editor to address my not-on-vella YA novel :)

5 more episodes up! For friends in the States, that brings this one to 55 episodes! www.amazon.com/kindle-vella...

Hello void! I'm a writer of the full spectrum of fantasy and romance, (epic fantasy, Romantasy, paranormal romance, contemporary romance, romance comedy) publishing on vella right now and wanting to connect with writers, readers, podcasters & bloggers.

Tell me what you want to see and I'll post it on Monday!

I mom and I write. Right now a cold is blowing through our house, bringing fevers and coughs and bad attitudes. Meanwhile, it's the end of month so I'm scrambling to get posts up (so writing) and editing and scheduling...and it feels particularly challenging this month.

End of the month is a scramble for vella authors. The trade off of receiving money while we write and build our backlist is the need to gain more reads and interactions each month. We are content creators of the fiction writing variety.
