2021 June

This year so far been an absolute rollercoaster ride and even though I am a HUGE fan of all things wild and dangerous, I was not prepared for certain changes. My husband and I decided to be spontaneous and sell our house. We are going to be moving out of the PNW (pacific northwest) and heading to a state a little more southeast. The kids are excited, I am excited but the rollercoaster ride of selling, listing, packing, moving, utilities and all the things, I am not a huge fan of. I really don’t think anyone really is. My day job of Medical Billing will stay the same. I love my work and the people I work for. I am so thrilled to keep my job no matter the move or the state. I’m also super grateful for their understanding and support.

My first ever paranormal romance will be getting released later this year – more than likely toward October, after we are moved and settled. My wonderful and patient editor is wrapping up the edit this week and then it’s my turn to take over and see what needs changed. Brittany has been kicking butt on the book, making it sparkle and shine in between homeschooling 3 kiddos and so much more going on in her busy life. I really do appreciate all her time, effort and patience in working on this book and especially with the pandemic still hanging over all our heads. I’m sorry it had taken me so long. However, I was to give my readers a thorough and compelling story so I want to make it as perfect as possible. I really appreciate ya’ll patience as well.

After Brittany wraps up the edits at the end of this week, she is moving onto the last 4 western romances. Currently westerns 7 & 8 are completed. Those westerns follow women out of book 4 – To Lift A Darkness – and each has their own hard story of how they came to Denver and why. Western 9, following Charlene Brandt out of – To Veil A Fondness – is almost finished and then it will be off to Brittany . Charlene is an interesting character and trouble follows her around like a shadow. Lastly, western 10 is about Eliza, one of the women who has been in the Whitman Series as a background character, comes to the forefront with her own book. These last 4 westerns wrap up the 10 book Whitman Series and I will be doing large print and audiobooks for these as well. I’ve been contemplating a Mail Order Bride Series but I want to focus on some other projects before I leap into another western.

Lastly, the Castre world series is getting a little re-vamp in the way of new formatting, titles, and covers. I took out some of the harshness of the Meerdoran language and some of the repetitiveness. I’m super proud of how the books are turning out and really grateful to my proofreader Michelle F. for taking a lot of time out of her day to reread every book, checking for errors or things I might have missed. Michelle is a super busy lady and I am grateful beyond words for all her help. Two pairs of eyes are better than one. I have been debating whether or not to do audiobooks for these romances but I cannot find someone to do a decent Scottish accent. So far, 3 novels and 2 short stories have been rereleased on amazon. I will release them as soon as get them completed and the covers looking amazing.

JULY 24 – mark your calendars. Not only is that day where my husband and I will be celebrating our 10 year anniversary, I will be having a HUGE giveaway and party on Facebook – Angelina’s Dragon Keepers – where me and 15 other authors will blow you away with all the goodies we have for you. Not only is that date super special to me where I got to not only marry my bestest friend, but it was also the date (7 years later) where I met my small press publisher Teresa M. and began my author journey. I will have Ebooks for free on Amazon and will be doing a whole bunch of giveaways, including audiobooks. Please join the group listed above and have some fun.

Thank you all for your kindness and patience with me while life is throwing me numerous curveballs. I will get all these books out to you as soon as I am able and have all the covers and formatting needed. There are so many stories I have in my head and have planned. Thank you all again so very much for your patience and support. It means the world to me. Stay safe and healthy
