Sorry that I’ve been MIA for a bit, but unfortunately my family was hit with COVID hard in early January and were very sick. The virus swept through my husband’s office at the speed of light and it was all downhill from there for most of his staff and subsequently all of their close family members, me included. And since my husband is a vital part of my support team and also my first line editor, everything was at a total standstill in the publishing department.
I absolutely hate that I haven’t been able to be productive and move forward, especially since my intention was to have Gabriel’s Redemption (Book 7) out by Valentine’s Day. But I am super happy to report that we’re all relatively well again (STILL NO SMELL OR TASTE FOR ME! Boo! It’s just as terrible as it sounds.) and that we can finally say we’re on the upswing. In all honesty, I can’t wait to get back to writing regularly. It’s a need at this point, not just a want.
That being said Gabriel’s Redemption is done and is on the final editing block, which means it should be out relatively soon. In addition, I’m so grateful to all the people who’ve been mad read, read, reading my back catalogue and posting their reviews. Good or bad, I don’t really mind — I’m doing what I love and getting it out there. In that way, COVID has been pretty good to me, since so many people have much more down time to catch up on relaxing activities and escape into the fantasy world of their choosing. At this point, I’ll take any upside I can get.
Here’s hoping that you and your entire family are well and keeping your heads above water during these STILL crazy, unprecedented times. Thank you so much for sticking with me and I’ll be in touch soon.
