The (Sort-of) New Year

And some exciting news!

Since 3/4 of our household goes back-to-school every September, the month feels more like the true start of our year than January. Getting new clothes and supplies, finishing up summer projects, and squeezing in last minute adventures makes August super busy. Then comes September and… bliss! Empty house, cooler weather, and an excuse to sip cocoa and read books.

As you can see, not much writing being done. Not only were the days full of mountains, mouse ears, and bears, but I just finished a big project!

The Lost Hero, which has been coming out in episodes for paid subscribers, will be released for sale on November 3rd!

You can pre-order the eBook on Amazon. It’s also releasing as a Kindle Unlimited. I’m trying to get the hard- and paper-back sorted out, but apparently the cover is 0.02 mm too big? IDK. The struggles of self-publishing.
