Struggling to start...

This has been a weird start to the year. Lots of stops and starts, hiccups in things that should be easier. The weather has been unsettled and that doesn’t help, either. We’ve had wild winds and heavy rains, lots of ice and very little snow around the mountains this winter. The puppers have been staying snuggled up with this weather and I can’t say I mind them keeping me warm when they’re on my feet - or next to each other like the photo below.

I’ve had computer glitches and website issues, so instead of letting myself get ridiculously frustrated, I just took a breath and decided the pace of it happening would be when it got sorted. My schedule was obviously not compatible with reality.

Y’know, that happens fairly often. Schedules and reality are not always compatible. What’s that saying, “Man makes plans and gods laugh.”? Yeah, that’s been happening around here.

In other news, The Supernatural Intelligence Network series is fired up and out in the world. If you’d like to know where it all began, I’ll be serializing And So It Begins in the subscription section of this newsletter starting January 21st. If you just want to read the book, you can buy it here or here, or subscribe for just a few dollars a month and get it sent to your email or app with your newsletter.

I will also start posting new chapters of Fate or Destiny as I write them in the subscriber section, so you can follow along as this world develops. Or you can just preorder the book here and get it when it’s released.

Also, I’ve updated the covers for the Descendants series. The inestimable Lizzie Dunlap of Pixiecovers, who did the original covers - worked with me to update them and they’re just gorgeous. I’m so excited!
