Autumn Update

It has been a minute since I posted anything, but I haven’t been idle. I am slowly wading through the first draft of my novel, trying to edit it into a worthy second draft. When I am not editing, I have been working on the first of two prequel stories that will either be two novellas or if I get going and have enough content then I might try to write them as full novels.
I have also started brainstorming and plotting out another book set in a different world. I’m really excited about it as well.
Unfortunately, finding time to read has been difficult lately. My husband has been deployed with the military going on 5 months and so I’ve been managing things and parenting our 4 boys on my own. I will admit, I’m starting to get worn out and every opportunity I find to read, I pull out the book and inevitably fall asleep. #momlife
Anyway, I just wanted to give a quick hello so it didn’t appear as though I dropped off the face of the planet. I am still writing, reading (slowly), and participating in various writing contests, and will hopefully have a few book reviews to write soon.
In the meantime, enjoy the beautiful Autumn weather, and feel free to let me know what you’re reading lately!

Author, philosopher, military wife, and mother of four boys, in my free time (haha, what is that?), I am a voracious reader and lover of large cups of tea. While I enjoy reading everything, my favorite genre is fantasy. Some of my hobbies include reading and reviewing books on various online platforms, entering writing competitions, feeding the crows that visit my home, and overthinking. I have dabbled in short stories and writing poetry, publishing a small book of my poems in 2022, with an independent publisher. I enjoy keeping the world up-to-date on my writing, reading, and random thoughts on my blog.
