Greetings readers!
I almost missed my July update, but for a very amazing reason: I was on vacation! After a frantic scramble to get Against the Wind on Amazon in time for the release date I’d set, I was ready for some time off. (for those of you who’ve read the e-book already: THANK YOU and I’m really sorry about the plethora of typos. Last night I uploaded a professionally proofread version, and the update should be on your reading device/app the next time you have it connected to wifi **hangs head in writer shame**)
The family and I embarked on a 10-day road trip to Yellowstone National Park a couple weeks ago, and it was incredible! I don’t want to overwhelm this post with images, so check out my Facebook author page for more photos soon. But y’all…
I FOUND EIGHT-FOLD ACRES!!!!
Yeah, yeah, it’s a national park… Whatever! This is EXACTLY how I pictured Stella’s beloved home. AND I GOT TO STAND RIGHT THERE ON IT. Not gonna lie, I felt the magic. I really did. Sage bush plants were everywhere and the aroma was incredible. You’re in for a treat when I get to the Summer Solstice book! And there were ravens everywhere (#IYKYK!). We tried to get to the geographical location of Sage Creek (well, where it lives in my head), but it was a 14+ hour round-trip from where we were staying and wasn’t feasible. Guess I’ll have to go back…
Book stuff
So what’s up with the paperback of Against the Wind? I’ll have info for you very VERY SOON!
So what’s up with book 3? I have a start on it, I promise! AND I even came up with the general plot of book 4 just yesterday!
Do I write other stuff? I DO!!! I also have a still on-going serialized story for Kindle Vella titled Illegitimate Magic. It’s more fantasy romance than the Almost Like Magic series, and I’m having a lot of fun with it. Also look for other stand alone books in the future.
Have questions about writing? My books? Life, the universe, and everything? Leave ‘em in the comments and I’ll answer what I can! As always, I love likes and shares. The best way for me to find new readers for my books is YOU! Tell your family and friends! 😊
I think that’s it for now, y’all! Thank you for your continuing support. If you’ve read Bad Company and/or Against the Wind, it would be so awesome if you left a review wherever you like to do that. It doesn’t have to be a thesis! Even just “this is an awesome story” is, well, awesome.
See you in August!
