Marching into spring... đ
Happy first day of March!
Though it's still cold in the PNW, there are signs of spring showing themselves and it's no longer all-the-way dark at 4pm. It's so nice to walk Editor Dog without needing a flashlight. And if you'd like to see more of Editor Dog (aka Bert), you can check out some of our TikToks!
Somehow winter slipped right on by, and I didn't send updates in January or February. I'd like to say that's because I was busy with edits and writing book Almost Like Magic book three, but mostly I was sick, then kinda better, then sick again, rinse and repeat for the past two months. Thankfully it wasn't anything serious, just a series of colds that lingered on until I caught the next one. Thankfully I've made some progress with my edits for Against the Wind... Oh, what's that...? You noticed the link? Why, yes, yes the e-book IS NOW UP ON AMAZON FOR PRE-ORDER!!! Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't allow indie authors to make the paperback version available for pre-order, so this is for the e-book only. For now.
I had to set a date for the release, and selected the end of May, though I truly believe I'll have it ready long before that, and will update the page accordingly once I have a better handle on the edits. And I'll let you all know when the paperback is available as well, for those of you who prefer a physical copy.
I've also been keeping up with my Kindle Vella story, Illegitimate Magic. For those of you unfamiliar with the Amazon Vella project, it's a way for authors to publish a serialized story. Readers purchase tokens and each episode of a story costs a few tokens to read. The first three are FREE! It's more fantasy romance than the Almost Like Magic books, but it's really fun to write. I try to post two new episodes a week, but I've been slacking a little the past month (see above for colds and edits). Reach out if you have any questions!
To those of you who follow and read these updates, and to anyone who's purchased and read Bad Company: THANK YOU!!!! (whispers, please leave a review if you haven't already). If you follow me on social media, I've got lots of fun things to share later today (Wednesday) and leading up to the release of Against the Wind... And as much as I'd love to post them in this newsletter, the system I use to send it out doesn't support the media very well and I don't want you to have a bad experience. So, check me out on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.
Happy reading, and I hope everyone is doing well.
