In true 2020 fashion, one day after I posted the previous blog about how excited I was to be able to get back to work, the dreaded call came in that my son had been exposed to someone with COVID19. Fast forward a week and his positive test came back and my entire family became stuck in a daunting cycle of contact tracing, isolation, and quarantine. As luck would have it, my son never got sick, however (as of this post) we still have a little under a week left on our family wide quarantine. We do daily checks with NYS (where I live) to report any symptoms with reminders that we are to stay away from the general populace to avoid any potential (asymptomatic) spread. To say it has turned our life upside-down is a total understatement, but I’m well aware that it could always be worse. We’re not sick, homeless, or struggling in any way right now that is a serious detriment to our livelihood. In short, we’re lucky.

So, while I haven’t been able to find any big chunks of time to be writing, I have been checking in with my alien universe as much as I can to keep things alive in my head. In the meantime, we’re ready to release the boxset of Books 1-3 in the Incubus Rising Series and you’ll be the first ones to know where it lands. Don’t forget to share, share, share the love!

On a very roundabout plus side, this entire pandemic has changed my perspective on life enough that it’ll absolutely be reflected in my writing. I truly believe that escapist fantasy is more important than ever and I’m so looking forward to getting back to providing you all with just the reality breaks you need!

As always, I hope you stay well and are living your best COVID-safe life.
