The short story that made it into an anthology. Click on the picture to go to Amazon!

       My husband and I are still hard at work on our house. This past weekend, my husband and I finished taping and mudding the living room. Now the joyous sanding begins (I like textured walls because it helps hide imperfections) because my husband loves smooth walls. So I got the kitchen how I like: old farm & logging tools, red walls and texture, so my husband gets the living/dining room. Either way, I'm glad the house is slowly coming together. July 1st will mark 2 years in Kansas, so I'm really hoping to have the house done before then. Then after the living room and dining room is complete, we can move to the upstairs and finish the office, bathroom (tape, mud, sand, paint) and the rest of the house that needs pretty much the same things. I cannot wait to be done with construction. I hate it. I hate the mess and disorganization.

       Opening Danger is getting a revamp. I have gotten some negative feedback (I looked at reviews on amazon & goodreads), about most people not liking that it ends on a cliffhanger (it's a series) but one reviewer in particular was really cruel. So, I decided to get back in and see what I could do to make Opening Danger better. It was redundant in places and some of the wording was interesting. So, after I went through it, I have my editor Tiffany taking another look at it. Opening Danger, like all my books, gets developmentally edited (to look over plot & cohesiveness) and then line/copy edited (to look over grammar & punctuation) and finally proofread to see if anything is missed or wrong. And even with all these measures, sometimes shit just hits the fan and fails. I've learned a lot of lessons since beginning this author journey and the most important one, is choosing the right editor. Now, I'm not blaming my former editor (not Tiffany) for my rework of Opening Danger. Nope. That's allll meeee... I didn't follow my gut instinct and it landed me here. So for those of you who want to purchase an original paperback (also signed), reach out and let me know before the end of the month when I upload the new version.

                    Coming Spring 2023!
       This new Clean (some light swearing, no f bombs) Fantasy Romance novella is part of a 3 book standalone series that will be launching this year. If you want to check out the world and the map I created, on my website, click on published books, then click on Zerelon World Novel. The Gods are meddling, and the people they rule over dislike them. This series is what I wrote prior to the Castre Series and now, after finding it (after loosing it 7 years ago, my bad) I decided to take a look and create novella's. This book is with my fabulous editor Tiffany. After this series is complete, I will be working on a 2 book Contemporary Mafia Romance (no s*x) that will be set in my small Kansas town, but of course, I change the name, but some of the people might remain the same lol.

               ***** BLURB *****
