[2022 December]
          
          Hi, guys! I'm still alive! Finally away from my 80+ hrs/week job. Getting back into fixing up my social media, site overhaul, and then books and writing again! I have a LONG way to go.
          
          I'm building out some admin-only tools for my website for quick input of new books and info, and I'm building some stuff in my Notion writing dashboard as well. I hope you're all well and having fun!
          
          The last couple of years have been quite difficult for me--especially this year. But 2023 will be my year of renewal. I'm stepping toward the future I want and encourage all of you to believe in yourselves, to love yourselves, and to keep your heads high also.

[ANNOUNCEMENT: 1/25/2022]
          
          I'm going to be writing another Writing Tips book, guys!
          
          Some new info, some new takes, and a lot more snarky humor, if I can keep it up.
          
          Let me know if this project interests you, and what topics you would like to see covered.

[JANUARY QUESTIONS:]
          
          Does anyone have any questions they'd love to see covered in the Writing Tips series?
          
          I'm going to be building the book out into a series of books under different topics, which will include the different types of editing, making workflows more efficient so you waste less stress and less time, and more.

[UPDATE 1-9-2022:]
          
          It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been very busy, I promise. I haven't walked away from writing! Here's what I have been up to . . .
          
          I am finally finished researching and building out some very important stuff for my author biz (numbers, bleh!). All I have left is some last minute stuff, and I will be able to move to the next stage for writing, advice, and more. I am so excited to unveil what I'll be creating for both readers and writers!
          
          [READERS:]
          
          The LEVIATHANS series is about to continue to Book Two, for which I currently have some preliminary ideas. It's been a struggle, since the first book was so....unique. A too-perfect new beginning book that happens to also be much too long for a series starter is a little bit of a headache, but I am confident in creating some lossleaders, backstory, and other awesome info.
          
          [WRITERS:]
          
          The WRITING TIPS series of advice books, I will be building out more fully so as to give some more insight to a lot of new information and workflows you might benefit from. I'll include some free automated stuff as well as have some extras you can purchase to help centralize everything and make the writing, editing, formatting, and outsourcing a little cheaper and more efficient.
          
          2022, here we come! 
          
          Visible productivity, at last? Finally!!!
          ❤
          
          Let's all enjoy 2022 more than the past two (stressful) years.

FEBRUARY QUESTION: 
          
          Anyone interested in a video reading? :) Blue lights, candles for spooky ambiance, and awesome reads?
          
          Let me know! I'm working on some videos to make that happen. I'll share here, if anyone is interested. ❤

JANUARY UPDATES:
          
          
          
          [WRITING TIPS BOOK:]
          
          I'm updating the Writing Tips book so that it has a few images and some up-to-date info. :) It's almost finished. I'll add new chapters when I am able to.
          
          [LEVIATHANS SERIES UPDATE:]
          
          All three previous Leviathans books (The Vampire's Memory Keeper, The Dark Ones' Halo Gate, and The Valkyre's Cold Heart) have been unpublished on this platform because the reboot of the series, "The Violet Curse" has been launched. The first chapters are up already, if you want to check them out.

MAJOR UPDATE FOR THE LEVIATHANS SERIES!!!
          
          The Violet Curse is now published in both ebook format and Print format on Amazon and IngramSpark! I have signed art prints that pair with the series, and signed books!
          
          Also, the first 8 chapters are free here on Wattpad, so check it out! It's The Vampire's Memory Keeper series reboot! Finally here!!!

UPDATE ON LEVIATHANS SERIES (11-16-2020):
          
          We're one giant step closer to completion of the new first book for the Leviathans series!
          
          The beta readers are done, the copyedits are done, and final product decisions are awaiting completion before the formatting can commence. 
          
          We're down to setting up an Indie house for self-publishing purposes, which includes some financial and legal research, set up, and consultations. 
          
          I'll set the dates for the cover and title reveals soon, as well as the date of release. We'll open a store and begin posting on YouTube again as well, once release date comes out.
          
          I'll be sharing about the process of going from being just a writer with some basic skills to an Indie House owner who publishes multiple books and creates and sells awesome brand-related merch with full rights! I'll share some of the knowledge I've gained about the various types of edits and ways to cut down on costs from start to end, also. I've already saved over $6,000 on this journey for just one book, and I've retained full artistic control. I've got loads of tips to share.
          
          It is very exciting, what will be coming up in late 2020 throughout 2021!!!
          
          My resolutions are to expand, share, help, inspire, and entertain! What're yours?

LEVIATHANS SERIES UPDATE (8-22-2020):
          
          The Violet Curse is currently undergoing final rounds of editing! This is the reboot of the series, set in a dystopian world so that all the action, tension, and drama can be ratcheted up x1,000!  I've already got alpha readers taking on the book, and the comments so far are extremely promising!
          
          You'll meet new characters, see a few minor changes to existing ones, and learn a WHOLE lot more about the whole Leviathans world. It'll be amazing!!!
          
          Looking forward to Release Day, which should be some time later this year.
          
          

hello! hope you're doing well.
