Hello all and welcome to June! Or…the beginning of summertime. Pools. Barbecues. Beaches. Vacations. Camp! And, this month, for the first time in nearly a year and a half here in NY we’re getting back to some semblance of normal. Or at least the new normal. Less mask wearing. More time with friends and family. Slowly easing back into life (hopefully) after COVID.
If you don’t already know, last month saw the release of my newest Incubus Rising endeavor, Book Seven in the Series, and the sequel to Monogamy is Dead, Gabriel’s Redemption. If you’re signed up for the mailing list, you already have access to the Bonus Epilogue which is really the most solid launching off point for Book Eight in the series, which will be Portia’s story but is, as of this writing, still untitled. Sometimes inspiration strikes hard and fast and other times…not so much. As of now Portia’s story is simply Number Eight in my mind and on my computer. While my initial intention was to go back to my sci-fi alien romance, Annihilation I was mid-writing when I wrote Gabriel’s tale of redemption, I’m finding that Portia’s story wants to come out, so I’m basically letting it flow and listening to my muse. Annihilation is a much bigger project and will require all of my attention when I get back to it so it helps the entire process if I just get Portia down on paper.
In the meantime, my real life is ramping up with so much goodness and love I can hardly stand it! I recently wrote and officiated my first wedding ceremony and it was the absolute epitome of front row /real life romance. I thoroughly enjoyed writing the script and delivering it to all the guests and was thrilled with the positive response. Of course, it was for a bride I know and love, but I think it was everything she and her new husband hoped for. I’ve also got a big move in my immediate family coming up, a 4th of July Party in the works, and some other really nice Back to Normal Life celebrations - baby showers, anniversary parties, and Christmas in July. I hope you all have lots of things to look forward to too.
In the meantime, thanks as always for your support and keep those reviews coming on Amazon and Goodreads. And, as always, feel free to reach out with any questions or comments. I’m here writing away…
Happy Summer!
