Catching up in my planner/journal today and thought I’d see how everyone is doing halfway through the year. Are you on track with your writing goals? Taking time off? Enjoying some unusually cool weather like I me?

I have to admit, the first half has been a blur, and I don’t see things slowing down, though the pace is so much different now that I’m no longer stuck in the 7:00 – 5:30 4-10 routine (sorry, just can’t relegate my previous work schedule to a mere 9 to 5 😊).

Don’t you love these stickers? I’m a sticker fiend. But I don’t buy them like I used to. Instead, I’m trying to use them up. No more room in the studio for hoarding. Still, I can’t bring myself to stick my sassy collection on anything for fear of leaving them behind. They’re from a favorite Etsy sticker shop, Shine Sticker Studios.

I have managed to complete some significant goals before July, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next six months.

As for the goals met, I have to plug them in here… I’m just so danged excited…

1) A relaunch of Book One in The Starlight Chronicles, Ursus Borealis with a new cover and bonus chapters.

2) A completed 15,000 word short story ready for submission, involving a favorite character from my series, Mortas, a vampire emissary, so old he doesn’t remember how he came into existence. That doesn’t mean he’s a relic, though he must act as one to save a young girl from being sacrificed. If Dragon Soul Press decides not to take it on, I’ve got more planned for my vampire, so stay tuned.

Free All of July!

Smashwords Summer/Winter Sale!

To widen the reach a bit more, I’ll be offering my books for free on Amazon the first week of July as well.
