Hello, beautiful readers!
2023 has been, well, difficult. My beloved stepmother died
in March, finally free from her dementia. I traveled to Ireland
(hooray!) in May, where I promptly picked up pneumonia (boo). I spend
all of June healing from that infection. I'm waiting (and waiting and
waiting) to get to a surgeon to schedule my first of two needed knee
replacements. I got Covid at end of August, and now, in the beginning of October, I have a cold.
So, a whole lot got put by the wayside, including you. While I've had
this time to reflect, I realized that I want to make life
more fun. And I thought - who doesn't like getting snail mail? I'm
thinking of creating a proper,
old-fashioned mail newsletter. Do you dig the idea? It would come out
twice a year, interspersed with any small updates, probably
sent on postcards. Tell me if you would like this!
Second, I wanted to update you on my writing. :) I'm working on two
co-authored books. The first is with my long-term collaborator, Shea MacLeod, and is the fourth book in our fabulous Dream Factory series. My new co-author, April Aasheim, creates incredibly witchy novels, especially the Dark Root Series. We are working on a new series that follows her Dark Root Ancestry series. Wow! I'm so excited to work with such brilliant women.
Lastly, I'm brainstorming on a brand new book that will incorporate
steampunk with my love of Middle Eastern history. It's still in the idea
phase, so no firm updates yet.
Let me know if you would like to have a pretty newsletter show up in your meat-space mailbox.
